Search Results show code

[UnSub]

When I do a basic search, the result grabs the css code, instead of the body with information. Any ideas

www.dizzydeals.net search for "paint" for example

JMH Painting Contractors 15%-20% Discount
@media print { input#printButton { display: none; } } table.sample { border-width: 2px; border-spacing: 2px; border-style: dashed; border-color:...

The HTML is stripped from the products_description ...

In your case, that is leaving in half the code for your description and stripping out the the part needed to display it ...

1 you need to set the description length to be longer than your longest products_description so that nothing is cut out ...

2 you need to change how the products_description is managed so that it does not clean out the HTML if you want to display everything ...

How do you change the product description to just show the description and not the code?

[Ajeh]

You can change the configuration settings for the Product Listing in the Configuration ... Product Listing ...

0= OFF
150= Suggested Length, or enter the maximum number of characters to display

then using your templates and overrides you can change the module for the product_listing.php for the output of the products_description field to be as you need it ...

Around line 98 you should see:

        $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id'] > 0) ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>';

Using your templates and overrides, you can change that line to something like:

//        $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id'] > 0) ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>';
        $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id'] > 0) ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_products_lookup($listing->fields['products_id'], 'products_description') . '</div>';

the first line being the original code commented out and the second line displaying the full products_description ...

Works perfect for the search, now the only problem is when you look at it from the product listing stand point, it shows everything. I like when i showed a quick list of product then you clicked on that product for more details.
Any ideas?

You would need to fix the code further where if the main_page is advanced_search_result then show it one way and if that isn't true, show it the other way ...

Thank you, if anyone can offer the coding for that suggestion it would be greatly appreciated

You can use an IF statement to test if the main_page is the advanced_search_result with:

        case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME':
        $lc_align = '';
if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'advanced_search_result') {
// use full products_description
        $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id'] > 0) ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_products_lookup($listing->fields['products_id'], 'products_description') . '</div>';
} else {
// use original cleaned products_description
        $lc_text = '<h3 class="itemTitle"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . (($_GET['manufacturers_id'] > 0 and $_GET['filter_id'] > 0) ?  zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['filter_id']) : ($_GET['cPath'] > 0 ? zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($_GET['cPath']) : zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($listing->fields['master_categories_id']))) . '&products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $listing->fields['products_name'] . '</a></h3><div class="listingDescription">' . zen_trunc_string(zen_clean_html(stripslashes(zen_get_products_description($listing->fields['products_id'], $_SESSION['languages_id']))), PRODUCT_LIST_DESCRIPTION) . '</div>';
}
        break;

Unfortunately, the problem you are going to have is you will still have the mess on the products_description in the navigation of your Categories ...
