No Results Page for Search Filter

Hi There,

I'm using the Hikashop filter module, but I've got one small issue. If I do a search and there are no products found, it just takes me to a blank page.

For example, if you use my site www.craftkeg.com/ and tick EcoKeg and do the search it'll go to hikashop-menu-for-products-listing/product/listing which is not very helpful as it's blank, a customer might think the search is broken.

Is there a way to edit this page to insert some text to say "No products found, try again", or is there another way of handling search results?

Regards,

Matthew

Hi,

You probably can edit the view "product / listing_div" via the menu display > views and if "$this->rows" is empty display your message.

Hi There, thanks for your response.

I'm looking at the view and I can see all the PHP code, but I'm afraid I know it enough to understand some of it, but not nearly enough to write my own!

Could you give me a clue on what the PHP code would look like if I wanted to add a 'No Results Found' found message if "$this->rows" is empty?

Using some php code like this will probably do the job :

if(empty($this->rows)){
echo 'No Results Found';
}

Hi Again Mohamed,

That did the trick, however it displays the message twice. Is there a certain place I put the code or is there another reason that is happening?

If you look at this page www.craftkeg.com/index.php/all-products/view-by-brewer you can see the text appearing on the buttom. I assume this is because of the assosicated module (hikashop_category_information_module_199 according to Firebug), is there a way to hide this module appearing on the page without having to delete it, as I assume that will affect the category listings?

Hi,

The easiest way seems to be to change the code given by Mohamed by this one:

if(empty($this->rows) && !$this->module){
echo 'No Results Found';
}

Thanks Xavier, that worked a treat!

I've actually got something else to ask that I'm struggling with.

Under show_deafult view I'm using the following code to show the products brand (which I'm calling 'container') on a product page, like so www.craftkeg.com/index.php/hikashop-menu...ng/product/263-mocha

<p><strong>Container: </strong><?php $class = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $class->get($this->element->product_manufacturer_id);
echo $manufacturer->category_name; ?></p>
<span id="hikashop_product_price_main" class="hikashop_product_price_main">

If I wanted to add the brand to a product listing page ( www.craftkeg.com/index.php/hikashop-menu...ting/product/listing ) would I be able to use that same code into a different view to get the 'brand' displaying on this page as well?

Yes you can, you will maybe have to replace "element" by "row" but that should work.
The view to edit is probably "product / listing_img_title".

Hi Xavier,

I have added this code to.. and it worked.
If have two questions about this :

1. Can i add an image ?
2. Can i show random products below these row ?

This still works in 2.6.4 - three years later !
thx
Miles

Silly me!
Thanks Nicolas
