How to add a price range related search link in side menu?

I want to add a Price Range menu in side bar, for example:

$1-$500
$500-$1000
$1000-$2000

when customer click these links, it will display relative products according to the price range.

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" }

Thanks! It works. 8)

Just wanted to say thanks. This was just what I was looking for. :D

Would it be possible to make this a subcategory?

I'd like to add a category called "Shop by Price" and when they click it they see subcategories as I've defined for the price ranges.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
Jennifer

Any way to get rid of the line that seperates the title form the price variables?

Gonna try and put in in my "main" screen" with Fashion Mosaic.

Nice work TeleFirma. cheers :lol:

I don't know about you guys but once the user is in the searched price range and they try to sort by price or anything it just lists all products...?

I had the same problem, i.e. once the search returens the products list, if you click on next page icon, the serach result just returns all products, anyone has a solution yet?

thanks for the mode. JUst installed it works great for the fist result page but the 2nd page and fter it shows all the products.

Any advise

tks.....
