How to change default selection to "High to Low"

Submitted by urmyworld on Tue, 2009-12-08 18:17 in Price Tapestry

Hello David,

My next request for info, is:

How can the default search on merchants equate to "High to Low" in the results?

I ask this because, in my website, if people click on a merchant's link, they will be presented with the cheapest products from that merchant.

Which again in my case, reveals the cheapest "Accessories" which is not good for revenue building, or for visitor interaction.

Hi David,

To do this, in search.php look for the following code within the main SWITCH statement starting at line 58:

      case "merchant":

        // pass through to category

      case "category":

        // pass through to brand

      case "brand":

...and then on the next line (below case "brand":) add the following code:

        if (!isset($_GET["sort"]) && ($parts[0]=="merchant"))

        {

          $sort = "priceDesc";

        }

Cheers,
David.
