Showing products by price range

chrisinoz · #1 10-27-2005, 05:22 PM

My client has seen a site (not xcart) where you can click on $0-$200 etc and it shows all products in that range.

He would like that.

I know I can do an advanced search for that but that gives me no distinct url I can paste into a new menu.

An easy mod?

Thanks for any help here.

Cheers
Chris

Create a file named shop_by_price.tpl in the /skin1/customer/ directory. In this file put this code:

Code:

{capture name=menu}

<form style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" method="POST" action="search.php" name="productsearchform1">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="search">
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_min]" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_max]" value="100">
$1-$100
</form>

<form style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" method="POST" action="search.php" name="productsearchform2">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="search">
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_min]" value="100">
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_max]" value="250">
$100-$250
</form>

<form style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" method="POST" action="search.php" name="productsearchform3">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="search">
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_min]" value="250">
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_max]" value="500">
$250-$500
</form>

<form style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" method="POST" action="search.php" name="productsearchform4">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="search">
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_min]" value="500">
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_max]" value="1000">
$500-$1000
</form>

<form style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" method="POST" action="search.php" name="productsearchform5">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="search">
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_min]" value="1000">
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_max]" value="10000">
$1000-$10000
</form>

{/capture} 
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title="Shop by Price" menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

Then just where you want this menu, call it with:

Code:

{ include file="customer/shop_by_price.tpl" }

tela,

what does this do:
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title="Shop by Price" menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

and how do u do it so that is language compatible and not hard coded language?

Shop by Price is hard coded?

How bout when we want it in a different language?

This is a great tool. I have followed the instructions and it does indeed put the menu where I wanted it. Just one problem - when you mouse over the price range items, there is no hyperlink, it is just text. Could it be that this doesn't work with the latest branch 4.0.7? Our store is at www.swisswatchstyles.com/shop .

Regards,
Jay

Jay, this thread is almost 2 years old...it probably doesn't work with the 4.1 branch of X-Cart.

Also, if you could add your version to your X-Cart signature per the forum guidelines that would be great. Thanks!

digiemp · #8 11-10-2007, 12:45 PM

Is there a similar mod/patch that does work with the 4.1 branch of X-Cart? This is something I am very interested in implamenting on my site.

Thanks

Okay, I just tried this with version 4.1.8 and it works, sort of.
It added a nice box under my main category box titled 'Shop by Price' as expected.
The price values are there and they are clickable and everything so at first glace it appears to work. When I click any of the price values I get taken to a page full of items in that price range, so again, it appears to work...
Until I click on any of the 'sort by' options.
If I sort by price, no matter which price range I'm supposed to be browsing, it displays ALL of my products and sorts them by price.
If I sort by product, it does the same thing only sorting by product name, but it includes ALL of the products on my site not just the ones specific to the price range I requested.

Anyone know a way to make the 'sort by' feature stay within the price range that was just clicked?

Thanks,
