Advanced Search Question (limit to category box)

**gazag** · 10 Dec 2011, 07:25 PM

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.

Doesn't make any difference

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?

SEO - makes no difference

Classic template fixes the problem! so it is something to do with my template but not the tpl_advanced_search_default.php as i replaced the one in my template with the default and it made no difference!

I have another problem i have just found! the login page has quit working - when i enter my login info as a customer it just refreshes the page but doesn't log me in. If i add something to the cart and then checkout - the small login page shows up and logs u in fine!!!

I would turn off the SEO/rewrites and work on fixing these issues ...

I really cannot test anything as your site is down for maintenance ...

Turned down from maintenance off......

Both errors are confusing me completely!!!

Can you look at the file:
/includes/modules/pages/advanced_search/header_php.php

What do you see on the file for:

Code:

  $sData['categories_id'] = (isset($_GET['categories_id'])    ? zen_output_string((int)$_GET['categories_id']) : 0);

is that set to 0?

Can you edit the file:
/includes/templates/template_dir/common/tpl_main_page.php

and under the <body add the line:

Code:

<?php echo 'I SEE: ' . $_GET['categories_id']; ?>

I just want to see what it thinks that value is when on the Advanced search

NOTE: if you have that file in your templates and overrides, then edit that one ...
