Hi Dave
Is there a simple way to add a drop down box to the whole site that has a merchant dropdown box between the search query and search button?
was wondering if the box would autofill with registered merchants?
Regards
Phil
Hi I am beginning to be a pain!
I just went through this mod and it works great, but, i can only display the first 10 products. I have lost the "Next Page".

Hi James,
Has the entire navigation bar disappeared - page 1,2,3 etc.?
Hi Again,
I noticed that your HTML is finishing at the end of the last product on the page - there is no navigation HTML or the end of page HTML, so the most likely cause is a change in navigation.php has caused a PHP error but this is not being displayed because your server has error display turned off.
Double check your changes in html/navigation.php - send me your modified version by email if in doubt (reply to your reg code or forum reg email) and i'll take a look...
Cheers,
David.
Hi Phil,
This is actually a tad trickier than it sounds because to do this you have to provide an additional parameter to search.php - and that parameter then has to be persisted into all the follow on links to change the sort order or navigate between pages. However, first things first it needs a new searchform.php to create the merchant box:
html/searchform.php
<?phpprint "<div class='searchform'>";
print "<form name='search' action='".$config_baseHREF."search.php'>";
print "<input type='text' name='q' size='25' value='".(isset($q)?$q:"")."' />";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM feeds ORDER BY merchant";
if (database_querySelect($sql,$feeds))
{
print "<select name='m'>";
print "<option value=''>All Stores</option>";
foreach($feeds as $feed)
{
print "<option value='".$feed["merchant"]."' ".($m==$feed["merchant"]?"selected='selected'":"").">".$feed["merchant"]."</option>";
}
print "</select>";
}
print " <input type='submit' value='".translate("Search")."' />";
print "</form>";
print "</div>";
?>
Next, changes must be made to search.php to check for the "m" parameter on the URL. Look for the following code on line 3:
$q = (isset($_GET["q"])?tapestry_normalise($_GET["q"],":\."):"");...and add the following code immediate afterwards:
$m = (isset($_GET["m"])?$_GET["m"]:"");Then, lower down the script look for the following code on line 34:
$parts = explode(":",$q);and REPLACE that with the following:
if ($m){
$parts[0] = "merchant";
$parts[1] = $m;
$parts[2] = $q;
}
else
{
$parts = explode(":",$q);
}
That's the basic functionality sorted. Next, look for the following line of code that constructs the base URL used in the change sort order links (approx line 111):
$sortHREF = $config_baseHREF."search.php?q=".urlencode($q)."&page=1&sort=";...and change it to this:
$sortHREF = $config_baseHREF."search.php?q=".urlencode($q)."&m=".urlencode($m)."&page=1&sort=";Finally, in html/navigation.php, do a SEARCH and REPLACE as follows:
SEARCH:
"?q=".urlencode($q)."REPLACE:
"?q=".urlencode($q)."&m=".urlencode($m)."Hope this helps,
Cheers,
David.
