Advanced Search Question (limit to category box)

[gazag]

Hello,

I have a slight error in my store somewhere that i can't figure out - when you go to advanced search the Limit to Category box has one of the categories in it - i would like it to default to All Categories.

Where do i change that?

link to the site is wwwDOTlimelightproductsDOTnet/index.php?main_page=advanced_search

It is an inherited behavior of the template you are using and not the normal behavior of zen cart.

Delete the tpl_advanced_search_default.php from your template/templates and let the one out of template_default take over and the issue should take care of itself.

OK that doesn't make any difference - i'm pretty sure it must be something to do with HideCategories that i installed it started happening after that!!

But i have no idea where to start looking!!

Any help appreciated!

I just downloaded that add on and in your instructions it says

Folders can either be hidden from the main menu (sidebox and main page) or you can go a step further and hide them from All Products, New Products, Featured Products, Advanced Search, and Best Sellers as well.

Can you log into admin and unhide it from advanced search?

The default is down to the last category instead of the top which is all.

Does anyone know what i need to search for to edit the default value for that drop down box?? It must be an easy fix because this is ZenCart but where abouts do i find it??

What happens if you turn off the SEO/rewrites?

What happens if you switch to the Classic Template?

It's not hideCategories.. Though it is entirely possible that you have installed hideCategories incorrectly, what you are reporting is not an issue ANYONE has ever reported having nor is it an issue I have ever had.. I've installed this mod a TON of times..

Latest example of a site with hideCategories installed: http: // clientyourplateormineincshop . overthehillweb .com/advanced-search

As you can see, the issue you are reporting does not occur here.. Not sure what else might be the cause, but I see Linda is on the case, so I KNOW you are in good hands..

I search for:
Apple

What should I be seeing or not seeing that is showing?

The regular search works fine! but... if you search for something that has no results it brings up the advanced search screen... That also works great....

The problem is most people just type something different in the search box and try searching again and....... The limit to category box defaults to my 'western decor' category (the last on the list) instead of 'all categories' (first on the list) so all my customers keep getting not found when there are products out there!!!

Hope that makes sense?!?!?!?!

Is there anyway to disable to advanced search page so it is no longer available!???

That might be an easier option!!
