How can I add Layered Navigation to the Advanced Search result pages?
Magento Version 1.7.
The patch below will display the layered navigation in Advanced search result and will work fine with layered navigations.
The layered navigation and search result are displayed based on two separate product collections, one created by catalogsearch/Model/Layer.php and the other by catalogsearch/Model/Advanced.php.
So we need to override few functions of both these models to make layered nav work in Advanced search.
1- In your local.xml under catalogsearch_advanced_result tag add.
<reference name="left">
<block type="catalogsearch/layer" name="catalogsearch.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
</reference>
Override prepareProductCollection function of catalogsearch/model/Layer.php with
public function prepareProductCollection($collection){
if(Mage::helper('catalogsearch')->getQuery()->getQueryText())//for normal search we get the value from query string q=searchtext
return parent::prepareProductCollection($collection);
else{
$collection->addAttributeToSelect(Mage::getSingleton('catalog/config')->getProductAttributes());
/**
* make sure you cross check the $_REQUEST with $attributes
*/
$attributes = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product')->getAttributes();
Mage::log(print_r($_REQUEST,1));
foreach($attributes as $attribute){
$attribute_code = $attribute->getAttributeCode();
//Mage::log("--->>". $attribute_code);
if($attribute_code == "price")//since i am not using price attribute
continue;
if (empty($_REQUEST[$attribute_code])){
//Mage::log("nothing found--> $attribute_code");
continue;
}
if(!empty($_REQUEST[$attribute_code]) && is_array($_REQUEST[$attribute_code]))
$collection->addAttributeToFilter($attribute_code, array('in' => $_REQUEST[$attribute_code]));
else
if(!empty($_REQUEST[$attribute_code]))
$collection->addAttributeToFilter($attribute_code, array('like' => "%" . $_REQUEST[$attribute_code] . "%"));
}
$collection->setStore(Mage::app()->getStore())
->addMinimalPrice()
->addFinalPrice()
->addTaxPercents()
->addStoreFilter()
->addUrlRewrite();
//Mage::log($collection->getSelect()->__toString());
Mage::getSingleton('catalogsearch/advanced')->prepareProductCollection($collection);
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($collection);
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInSearchFilterToCollection($collection);
}
return $this;
}
Override getProductCollection, getSearchCriterias function of catalogsearch/model/Advanced.php with
public function getProductCollection(){
if (is_null($this->_productCollection)) {
$this->_productCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalogsearch/advanced_collection')
->addAttributeToSelect(Mage::getSingleton('catalog/config')->getProductAttributes())
->addMinimalPrice()
->addStoreFilter();
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($this->_productCollection);
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInSearchFilterToCollection($this->_productCollection);
if(isset($_GET['cat']) && is_numeric($_GET['cat']))
$this->_productCollection->addCategoryFilter(Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_GET['cat']),true);
}
return $this->_productCollection;
}
public function getSearchCriterias()
{
$search = parent::getSearchCriterias();
/* display category filtering criteria */
if(isset($_GET['cat']) && is_numeric($_GET['cat'])) {
$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_GET['cat']);
$search[] = array('name'=>'Category','value'=>$category->getName());
}
return $search;
}
There is no quick solution for this. The standard search and the advanced search use two different methods to search.
If you compare the layouts in catalogsearch.xml you see that for catalogsearch_advanced_result the block catalogsearch/layer is not included. If you copy the block definition from catalogsearch_result_index and change the root template to 3columns.phtml various errors are thrown.
In my 1.6.2 the layered nav showed up after setting a 0 (Zero) to System -> Configuration -> Catalog -> Catalog Search -> Apply Layered Navigation if Search Results are Less Than
This link goes to Magento website should help. You need to create attributes from Catalogues. Then see the settings under Frontend Properties (Catalogues>Attributes).
Simply adding following line in catalogsearch.xml advance search results left area helped me to get it visible on my EE site, however I haven't checked it in CE version.
<block type="catalogsearch/layer" name="catalogsearch.leftnav" before="-" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
So my full left area looks like this on advance search area on xml file:
<reference name="left">
<block type="catalog/navigation" name="hello.leftnav" as="hello.leftnav" template="catalog/navigation/hello_left_nav-search.phtml" />
<block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" before="-" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
</reference>
Hope it helps others.

Any one please help me if know about it and is it possible or not
thank you
First add below code under catalog.xml (app/design/)
<catalog_product_view>
.......

<block type="catalog/product_view" name="catalog.product.rightprice" before="-" template="catalog/product/view/rightprice.phtml"/>
</reference>
</catalog_product_view>
Create a phtml(rightprice.phtml) under catalog/product/view
code of rightprice.phtml is
echo Mage::registry('current_product')->getFinalPrice();
Also get More details ,you can try this
if(Mage::registry('current_product')){
$product=Mage::registry('current_product');
$displayMinimalPrice = false;
$idSuffix = '-right';
$type_id = $product->getTypeId();
if (Mage::helper('catalog')->canApplyMsrp($product)) {
$realPriceHtml = $this->_preparePriceRenderer($type_id)
->setProduct($product)

I have a category for shoes on my website. The meta title,description and keywords that I give under Catalog/Category for that category are not reflected. This is not specific to a category , I'm just quoting shoes as an example.
I dont want to use settitle,setkeyword,setdescription on layout files to set the above. Why is the default magento functionality not working.
It'd be great help if you could point out the area where the default values are applied.
For category layouts in the default magento theme, the area where the meta tags are set is :
//file: app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Block/Category/view.php
//class: Mage_Catalog_Block_Category_View
//function: protected function _prepareLayout()
//...
$category = $this->getCurrentCategory();
if ($title = $category->getMetaTitle()) {
$headBlock->setTitle($title);
}
if ($description = $category->getMetaDescription()) {
$headBlock->setDescription($description);
}
if ($keywords = $category->getMetaKeywords()) {
$headBlock->setKeywords($keywords);
}
//...
So I think the questions to ask yourself are why is $category->getMetaTitle() falsey or what, later on in the layout, is overwriting $category->getMetaTitle() or does my theme rewrite the function Mage_Catalog_Block_Category_View::_prepareLayout().
You may want to search all your .xml files for code like this:
<reference name="head">
<action method="setTitle" translate="title" module="catalog"><title>Site Map</title></action>
</reference>
Because any module can change the meta tags using XML.
We redesign a magento shop. That shop had a very costumized searchresult page.
Now, after the redesign, the search does not work anymore.
I broke down the problem to the List.php (Mage\Catalog\Block\Product\List.php) where the function _getProductCollection() is called to get the results. This function gets a layer $layer = $this->getLayer(); and there is the main difference to the old version:
public function getLayer()
{
$layer = Mage::registry('current_layer');
if ($layer) {
return $layer;
}
return Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer');
}
In the old version the Mage::registry('current_layer'); is set. In the new version its not set! And when it is not set it returns a new one return Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer'); with all the products in it.
I can't think any further. How could I find the place where this layer is set in the old version?
What else could I do?
The search layer model is registered by the catalogsearch/layer block, which is usually added to the search page by the catalogsearch.xml layout file :
<catalogsearch_result_index translate="label">
<label>Quick Search Form</label>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/3columns.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
<reference name="left">
<block type="catalogsearch/layer" name="catalogsearch.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
</reference>
<!-- ... -->
</catalogsearch_result_index>
As it has certainly gone missing, you should add it back to your layout.
In magento project, I have four categories and I have 2 template file for products
Like
1) catalog/product/view.phtml (original)
2) catalog/product/newview.phtml (new file)
Now I want to display product layout based on category
like category id 1 and 2, product display base on view.phtml
and category 3 and 4, product display based on newview.phtml
You can set this on each product in the backend in the design tab set :
<reference name="product.info">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>catalog/product/newview.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
Else you can also perform this through an Observer to get all product from category X in one shot.
Create your own module observing the controller_action_layout_generate_blocks_after event with a function like this one :
public function generateBlocksAfter($event)
{
$controller = $event->getAction();
//limit to the product view page
if($controller->getFullActionName() != 'catalog_product_view')
{
return;
}
$layout = $controller->getLayout();
$product_info = $layout->getBlock('product.info');
if(!$product_info)
{
Mage::log('Could not find product.info block');
return;
}
$id = Mage::registry('current_product')->getId();
$prod = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($id);
$category_ids = $prod->getCategoryIds();
if(in_array(3,$category_ids) || in_array(4,$category_ids))
$product_info->setTemplate('catalog/product/newview.phtml');
}
use this code for display according to categories id in local.xml files
<reference name="product_list">
<action method="setTemplate"><name>catalog/product/list_new.phtml</name></action>
</reference>
</CATEGORY_5>
I've got a custom module extending the customer account section. I've added a new link called 'My Uploads'. This link appears at the bottom of the My Account links sidebar. On the index page, the 'My Uploads' link is bolded and not selectable. However on my child pages none of the links are bolded or selectable. I am searching how to keep the same link functionality in my custom module (i.e. all parent and child pages show the same sidebar link as active.) _SetActiveMenu appears to only be a method accessible in admin controllers so I really don't know any way to do this. Anyone have any clues?
If I am not mistaken, you want to add a link in Customers "My Account" Sidebar. So, navigation.php which is available in /app/code/local/themename/customer/block/account/navigation.php controling those links. There are few function inside the file, some of them :
public function isActive($link)
{
if (empty($this->_activeLink)) {
$this->_activeLink = $this->getAction()->getFullActionName('/');
}
if ($this->_completePath($link->getPath()) == $this->_activeLink) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
public function setActive($path)
{
$this->_activeLink = $this->_completePath($path);
return $this;
}
You can do it within your layout.
Example for a link named 'changepassword':
<mycompany_changepassword_index_index translate="label">
<label>Change Password Page</label>
<update handle="customer_account"/>
<reference name="my.account.wrapper">
<block type="customer/form_edit" name="mycompany_changepassword" template="mycompany/changepassword.phtml">
<reference name="customer_account_navigation">
<action method="setActive"><path>changepassword</path></action>
</reference>
</block>
</reference>
</mycompany_changepassword_index_index>
