Change the Category Listing SQL


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am trying to find where I can change the sql that produces the category listing. 

I found getProducts in Category Class but it seems that it is not called at all.

I want to change the query in order to show different colour combinations of products as different products in the listing.

Thank you!

I found out that this is created via the definition of the object class:

    public static $definition = array(
        'table' => 'category',
        'primary' => 'id_category',
        'multilang' => true,
        'multilang_shop' => true,
        'fields' => array(
            'nleft' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedInt'),
            'nright' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedInt'),
            'level_depth' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedInt'),
            'active' => array('type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool', 'required' => true),
            'id_parent' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedInt'),
            'id_shop_default' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT, 'validate' => 'isUnsignedId'),
            'is_root_category' => array('type' => self::TYPE_BOOL, 'validate' => 'isBool'),
            'position' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT),
            'date_add' => array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isDate'),
            'date_upd' => array('type' => self::TYPE_DATE, 'validate' => 'isDate'),
            /* Lang fields */
            'name' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isCatalogName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 128),
            'link_rewrite' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isLinkRewrite', 'required' => true, 'size' => 128),
            'description' => array('type' => self::TYPE_HTML, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isCleanHtml'),
            'meta_title' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 128),
            'meta_description' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 255),
            'meta_keywords' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 255),
        ),
    );

So I need to change this somehow.

Step One done:

 

I made an override of the ps_facetedsearch module class.

Specifically the getProductByFilters function, 

I changed the sql and I get the color cobinations correctly.

I still have to Change the total number of products query, the links to the products and the images.
