Search results direct to product detail page

Is there any way to have a search result to directly to the detail product information page?

If I enter a specific part number (or ask a customer to do so), it first goes to the search results page, shows just the one item, and the user has to click again for the detail page.

It would be slick if the search results would go direct to the detail page when just one result is found in the search.

Possible?

Thanks,

You could edit the file:
/includes/modules/pages/advanced_search_results/header_php.php

and add the code in RED so when ever there is only 1 Product found it goes to the product_info page ...

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE_2);

// bof: if only 1 search result skip listing and go to product_info
$chk_count = $db->Execute($listing_sql);
if ($chk_count->RecordCount() == 1) {
    zen_redirect(zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($chk_count->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($chk_count->fields['master_categories_id']) . '&products_id=' . $chk_count->fields['products_id']));
}
// eof: if only 1 search result skip listing and go to product_info

$result = new splitPageResults($listing_sql, MAX_DISPLAY_PRODUCTS_LISTING, 'p.products_id', 'page');

Great piece of code... Way above my coding ability, so thank you!

As for the other post, that was a different topic so I created a different thread. That was looking for a way to enter a list of items directly into the shopping cart without having to visit each product page first. Like a user entry box on the shopping cart page.

Thanks for the update that this worked ... :smile: sorry for the mix up on your other post ... :blink:

Some years ago we developed a ZC site for a supplier of teaching aids. Each year, he would send detailed printed product catalogs to schools, listing the Products, and (naturally) the Product Code.

We found and installed THIS module.

One drawback is that it does not handle products with attributes, nor products with quantity discounts.

Also... it hasn't been updated for some time.

You may consider installing it on a TEST site, and see if it works for you.

Thank you for the link. That sounds like what I was looking for. We don't use attributes but do use qty discounts, so we will look at that and run some tests.

Thanks again!

Thanks again for the referral to the Quick Order module. It seemed to work fine with our quantity discounts.

I did make one code change to allow users (and us) to enter the product_id instead of the product_model which, in our case, is much simpler.
