Hi David
Trying to think of a way of getting info for merchant on the top of a page when it is just for that merchant, both on the search and merchant search page. Another way would be a link in the results that link to merchant info. Is this possible.

Hi
That works great, could this also be extended to the filter pages ie
search.php?q=shoe&merchantFilter[]=Barratts
Thanks

Hi Brent,
Sure - to show the merchantinfo/ text for both merchant: queries or any merchant in merchantFilter, use the following in place of the above replacement:
if (($parts[0]=="merchant") && ($page==1))
{
$merchantinfoFilename = "merchantinfo/".$parts[1].".html";
if (file_exists($merchantinfoFilename))
{
require($merchantinfoFilename);
}
}
elseif(count($merchantFilter))
{
foreach($merchantFilter as $merchant)
{
$merchantinfoFilename = "merchantinfo/".$merchant.".html";
if (file_exists($merchantinfoFilename))
{
require($merchantinfoFilename);
}
}
}
require("html/searchresults.php");Cheers,
David.

Greetings,
How would merchant info be shown under the merchant name and before the "Displaying 1 of xxxx" and not after the "Sort by..."?
Thanks!
Hi,
Rather than inserting the modification:
if (($parts[0]=="merchant") && ($page==1))
{
$merchantinfoFilename = "merchantinfo/".$parts[1].".html";
if (file_exists($merchantinfoFilename))
{
require($merchantinfoFilename);
}
}
elseif(count($merchantFilter))
{
foreach($merchantFilter as $merchant)
{
$merchantinfoFilename = "merchantinfo/".$merchant.".html";
if (file_exists($merchantinfoFilename))
{
require($merchantinfoFilename);
}
}
}...before:
require("html/searchresults.php");..instead, insert the code immediately before:
require("html/banner.php");...and that will move the included content above the search results header...
Cheers,
David.

Hi David,
That places the merchant info text ABOVE the merchant name. Any chance of putting it just below the merchant name?
Thanks!
Hi there,
Ah yes - html/banner.php displays both the H2 and H3 areas, so to display the merchant info inbetween the two, the mod needs to go in that file - with a slight change since banner.php is included on other pages also!
In that file, look for the following code at line 5:
<?php if (isset($banner["h3"])) : ?>...and REPLACE with:
<?php
if (strpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"search.php")!==FALSE)
{
if (($parts[0]=="merchant") && ($page==1))
{
$merchantinfoFilename = "merchantinfo/".$parts[1].".html";
if (file_exists($merchantinfoFilename))
{
require($merchantinfoFilename);
}
}
elseif(count($merchantFilter))
{
foreach($merchantFilter as $merchant)
{
$merchantinfoFilename = "merchantinfo/".$merchant.".html";
if (file_exists($merchantinfoFilename))
{
require($merchantinfoFilename);
}
}
}
}
?>
<?php if (isset($banner["h3"])) : ?>Cheers,
David.

Hi David,
I just found a new Notice, When using this code:
---------------------------------------------------
if (($parts[0]=="merchant") && ($page==1))
{
$merchantinfoFilename = "merchantinfo/".$parts[1].".html";
if (file_exists($merchantinfoFilename))
{
require($merchantinfoFilename);
}
}
elseif(count($merchantFilter))
{
foreach($merchantFilter as $merchant)
{
$merchantinfoFilename = "merchantinfo/".$merchant.".html";
if (file_exists($merchantinfoFilename))
{
require($merchantinfoFilename);
}
}
}
---------------------------------------------------
I got everything working fine with that code on the first page of results of any merchant, but if I click next, or any number of the navigation links, or do any other search, I get this Notice.
Notice: Undefined variable: merchantFilter in F:\xampp\htdocs\store\search.php on line 504
Line 504 on my search.php have this code:
elseif(count($merchantFilter))
Remember that I only get Notice when I remove the "// error_reporting(E_ERROR);"
Otherwise I don't see no Notice errors and the code works as it's.
I was thinking that maybe it's some "isset" mising somewhere?
Thanks.
Hi,
That will be this line:
elseif(count($merchantFilter))...replace with:
elseif(isset($merchantFilter) && count($merchantFilter))Cheers!
David.

Hi David,
Apologies for the delay in responding to your assistance.
Unfortunately, this adds the merchant info directly after "(Displaying 1 to xx of xxx)" and not directly after the merchant name itself [in between the merchant name and (Displaying 1 to xx of xxx)].
Thanks!
Hi,
It can be combined with the H2 banner, no problem! Instead of making the change in html/banner.php, back in search.php look for where the first part of that line is generated by this code around line 277:
$banner["h2"] = translate("Product search results for")." <strong>".htmlentities($q,ENT_QUOTES,$config_charset)."</strong> ";...and REPLACE with:
$banner["h2"] = translate("Product search results for")." <strong>".htmlentities($q,ENT_QUOTES,$config_charset)."</strong> ";
if (($parts[0]=="merchant") && ($page==1))
{
$merchantinfoFilename = "merchantinfo/".$parts[1].".html";
if (file_exists($merchantinfoFilename))
{
$banner["h2"] .= file_get_contents($merchantinfoFilename);
}
}
elseif(count($merchantFilter))
{
foreach($merchantFilter as $merchant)
{
$merchantinfoFilename = "merchantinfo/".$merchant.".html";
if (file_exists($merchantinfoFilename))
{
$banner["h2"] .= file_get_contents($merchantinfoFilename);
}
}
}Hope i've understood correctly, let me know if still not quite right of course!
Cheers,
David.

Hi Brent,
Very easy to do using some merchant info .html files, and then to call them in above the search results for merchant: queries.
First, create a folder on your site:
merchantinfo/
And inside that folder, create files with the exact merchant name (including spaces) as it appears on your site, plus .html, for example
merchantinfo/Merchant Name.html
Then, in search.php, look for where the search results are included towards the end of the file with the following code:
require("html/searchresults.php");...and REPLACE that with:
if (($parts[0]=="merchant") && ($page==1)){
$merchantinfoFilename = "merchantinfo/".$parts[1].".html";
if (file_exists($merchantinfoFilename))
{
require($merchantinfoFilename);
}
}
require("html/searchresults.php");
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
