[Plugin: FoxyShop] Customizing the search template

    Hello,
    The search template has a place to enter a string, and the search results return products that contain that string. My first question is: How do you search by category? My second question is: say I have product variations on some items, such as “size” with S,M,L. How can I search for all smalls? These would be drop downs.

    Finally, this would need to work together – I’m searching in the category “skirts” for all “smalls” and I’m getting the correct and total results.

    Hope you can help!

    This will take some customized coding. I’d recommend that you look at customposttype.php around lines 206-215 for some code to make a dropdown of all categories. In your actual product search you would do something like "product_categories" => YOURSEARCHVALUE. That may take some tweaking.

    The variation is a little trickier. It’s stored as a custom field and it’s all serialized inside of _variations so you could search for a custom field with the name _variations that contains a value “small” or something like that.

    WordPress search is not too customizable so if you can’t get it working you might have to roll a custom query using $wpdb.
