Was this information Helpful?

I searched for a solution to this and found a lot of mixed topics lacking direct content.

I know it has been suggested, but I would like to start this thread as a more organized topic.

We need to have the ability to show a small thumbnail when viewing site-wide search results. The product image would only appear for search results of actual products (logically), and that would be ok for me.

Let's get some info posted here and let's get this done!!

Re: Official Show Product Images when performing a site-wide sea

How we did it at http://www.illusionsystems.com was to to insert this in the template.php file in your theme:

function phptemplate_search_item($item, $type) {
  $output = node_view(node_load($item['node']->nid), TRUE);
  return $output;
}

WE also used the search restrict module to restrict search results to products only, this might not be the best in all situations but what the client wanted in this case.

Hmmmm this is pretty nice, as it does work, but I would rather only see the product Name and only 1 image (see this thread)

I might try to hack the results with CSS to hide the fields I'm not interested in, but definitely this is a valid solution!

Thank you very much!

Re: Re: Official Show Product Images when performing a site-wide

How do you put this code to use? I've inserted it in template.php but don't i need to call it up in the search-result.tpl.php?
I am trying to get images from ubercart to show up in my search results.

I am trying to get images from ubercart to show up in my search results.

I am using Drupal 5.x + UC 1.x and all I did was add it to the very end of my template.php. Nothing else is required.

Search results return full product nodes including description, price, attributes, and cart links which is rather messy. I am working on figuring out how to only display a thumbnail image to the left of each search result, if it is a product.

I tried playing with...  

I tried playing with...

  $type = is_string($node) ? $node : (is_array($node) ? $node['type'] : $node->type);

  if ($type == 'product') {

and also

    $output .= theme('imagecache', 'uc_thumbnail', $catalog->image['filepath'], $catalog->name, $catalog->name, array('class' => 'category'));

But I have no clue what I am doing so I gave up Smiling lol

for the n00bs...

replace "phptemplate" in the function name with the name of your function. For example i am using the garland theme, so i renamed this to "garland_search_item"

hope this helps some ppl. mc

Will this only return images for products only?

Re: markcheng wrote:replace

I just added that function to my template.php but nothing happens. Search results looks like always (after flushing all caches).

I also copied the search-result.tpl.php file into my theme, but I think I need the get the nid to do a node_load and then show the image. Isn't that an option?
I'll try to get the nid from the URL and then just print what I need...

Re: Re: markcheng wrote:replace

Same here. I added the following to themes/garland/template.php but no change in my search results:

function garland_search_item($item, $type) {
$output = node_view(node_load($item['node']->nid), TRUE);
return $output;
}

I also tried to name the function hook_search_item() but that did not help either.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: markcheng wrote:replace

this outputs teasers with pager in search results, but I don't know how to restrict output to particular fields.

<?php
function phptemplate_search_results($results, $type) {
    foreach ($results as $result) {
        $output .= node_view($result['node'], TRUE);
    }
    $output .= theme('pager', NULL, 10, 0);
    return $output;
}
?>

any ideas?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: markcheng wrote:replace

A very simple approach I just used and which I just posted in the how-to's which can be found
at http://www.ubercart.org/forum/tutorials/15568/i_got_pictures_my_search_r...

It was done by simply adding one line of code and overriding the default file.

add this to your search-result.tpl.php file and put the new copy in your theme folder...

<a href="<?php print $url; ?>"><img src="/sites/default/files/imagecache/product_list/<?php print $result['node']->field_image_cache[0]['filepath']; ?>"/></a>><br>

a bit more of an explanation is at my other post, but the above is all you need for a basic image in the search.

the sites i'm always breaking.... www.sew-la-fabric.com
http://lostpetsla.com (though i hope i never break this one too bad)
