Advanced Search as a sidebox

[cincin]

I found a mod to mess with that got the job done thanks so much

Hey Nikki, I am looking for a way to put it horizontally as well, can you share the solution?

I just installed this contrib...When I perform a search with a keyword it gives an error regarding £0 amount searchs and I have to enter a value, have you come across this before? Also, to change the length of the input boxes do I change that via the css or is there another way of achieving this?

Thanks
Pet

I have this problem too, although if there is a way of having a default digit in the "Price from" say the number "1" this issue goes away.

I am also having trouble fixing the size of the box, or really just fixing the manufac. size. Any ideas here?

I hope someone here can help me. I installed the advanced search sidebox and as you can see the Manufacturer part of the sidebox is overlapping into the center column. Is there a way to adjust this? Ideally I would like this to cut off some of the names unless it is clicked, just like the default Manufacturer sidebox.

Any ideas here?

open your stylesheet.css

add the this code to the end of your stylesheet.

#advancedsearchsbContent select {
width:125px;
}

hope this helps.

Thanks, that worked great. Now is there anyway using the same sidebox to view all items from one Manufacturer without typing a keyword. It throws back an error if you click on a Manufacturer or a category, without at least a keyword or price. Thanks

Thats the job of the manufacturers sidebox. Why dont you just turn that sidebox on?

i've got the advanced search installed and mostly working. it doesn't show on my main page though, only subpages is it possible to display advanced search sidebox on the main storefront?

also, i have very deep category levels. is it possible to limit the by category pulldown to one or two layers?

[bh_scripts]

Yes it is possible to display on main page. Instructions are in the readme.txt file.

As for the Categories pull down menu - it uses the zen_get_categories function and that doesnt have a depth limiter. So to limit the depth would require some custom code.

thanks for re-pointing me to those instructions. i found them and it's working great.

bummer about the categories, but thanks.
