Retrieve searched products data from Template

[NemoPS]

Hi,

I'm currently developing a search filter module, but i'm having issues retrieving searched products data. I first tried using Smarty funzion getTemplateVars('search_products'), but since Prestashop search engine takes care of pagination, i only get data for products in the current page. Is there a way for bypassing pagination? Else i'd have to query again Search::find and that would cost a huge amount of mySQL requests being performed almost uselessly.

 

I really hope somebody can help me

 

Best regards

Hi Nemo.

 

I'm trying to retrieve the search_products as you did it on this post.

 

In my module I tried getTemplateVars('search_products');

 

public function hookActionSearch($params)

{

   $my_var = $this->context->smarty->getTemplateVars();


    $var_dump($my_var);

}

The same on hookHeader,

 

public function hookHeader($params)

{

   $controller_name = Tools::getValue('controller');


   if ($controller_name !== 'search')

          $my_var = $this->context->smarty->getTemplateVars();


    $var_dump($my_var);

}

but in the dump I don't see the search_result.

 

The performed test it's on a non ajax search result page.

 

How did you get to search_products?

 

Thanks!
