Hi David,
I am pretty sure this has been asked and solved before, but I can not find the relevant thread.
I have a form with select boxes that users can select a category, merchant and price range from. The selections are posted as variables so then what I wanted to do was make the action of the form to be a search query such as
site.com/search.php?q=category:CatName&merchant:MerchantName&bw:&minPrice=0.00&maxPrice=10.00
To return in the search results all products from the specified merchant, in the specified category within the price range.
From the threads I have read I think you previously made some mods that will allow for queries such as that, if so please could you direct me to the relevant thread.
Thanks yes I can now search
site.com/search.php?q=eye%20shadow&categoryFilter=Make+Up+Eyes&merchantFilter=Boots&bw:&minPrice=20.00&maxPrice=40.00
and get all eye shadows from Boots in the Eye Make Up category priced between £20-£40
The query
site.com/search.php?categoryFilter=Bath+and+Shower
does not show any results though.
I do not have the latest PT installed, I have the one before last installed, although have upgraded tapestry.php and search.php and searchresults.php. I was wondering if there is another file that I may need to upgrade for this to work on my site. Or maybe a search term has to be entered for the query, in which case is it possible to search "all".
Hi Clare,
To show all results for a specific query, use
site.com/search.php?q=category:Bath+and+Shower
Cheers,
David.

Actually I just spotted something that I need to write the query like this...
site.com/search.php?q=category%3AMake+Up+Eyes%3A&merchantFilter=Boots&minPrice=20.00&maxPrice=40.00
So it will work perfectly on my site
Thankyou!
oops sorry, you are too quick..had already replied!!
Thanks David
Hi Clare,
The version of search.php from the Sidebar Filters mod available on the Download Extras page will let you do that!
With that code online, you could make sure that your form:
a) submits to (has an action attribute) of $config_baseHREF."search.php", e.g.
<form method='GET' action='<?php print $config_baseHREF; ?>search.php'>and b), your merchant and category select boxes are named merchantFilter and categoryFilter
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
