I can't filter in "Search Page" with ps_facetedsearch module

[Oktay]

Hello friends,

I would like to learn something from you if possible. The "Product Filter" (ps_facetedsearch module) module is running normally on my site. However, I can't filter in "Search Page" with ps_facetedsearch module. I opened the left column in Search Page and added the "Product Filter" module to the corresponding hooks, but could not activate the filter in the search page.This is a very important thing if we think that people are searching for products on the site. How can I activate filtering in Search Page? I'd appreciate it if you could help. (Version : 1.7.3.2)

Thanks.

Is there anyone who can answer this?

Hi,

My personal position is quite simple regarding version 1.7 of PrestaShop, it is mandatory to always have the latest version because, as 1.7 is a transition version in order to integrate the Synfony framework, each update contains hundreds of essential corrections.

So, in your case, the first thing would be to test an update to the latest version 1.7 available on a test installation that would be a carbon copy of your current store.

I know that this is restrictive, but it is the prerequisite for the 1.7 before the 1.7.5.2 that is starting to be really usable in production.

Hi again,
I installed and tried version 1.7.5.2 on Wamp player. It also works normally, but not on the search page.

I have seen the faceted search filters on search page on 1 shop from 1 dev I discussed with.

I dont know exactly how they did, he told me:
- he enabled it on search page
- he modified the search page layout: he told me something like "the search page takes all the place in the page, if you reduce it, the filters will appear on the left"

Not sure what it means

I don't understand why this hasn't been answered.
I've been looking into this and it seems possible if you edit the following line in "/modules/ps_facetedsearch/src/Hook/ProductSearch.php (line #54)" (PrestaShop 1.7.6.5):

if ($query->getIdCategory()) {

And update it to:

if ($query->getIdCategory() || $query->getSearchString()) {

Seems to do the trick of adding the ps_facetedsearch module to the search page.
You need to of course make sure that the ps_facetedsearch module is hooked into the appropriate display hook (displayLeftColumn for me), and that the search page uses your theme template that makes use of the left column.

Still investigating this, unsure if there are better solutions. This seems to be the easiest.

Kasaan was right

To make filters appear in a search page with ps_facetedsearch go in themes menu then customize_layouts and choice display in two column for search page.
