  • Prestashop: Search does not index product reference numbers properly

    The native Search.php class would only index characters that appear before ‘-‘ hyphen or other punctuations, so if your products have reference numbers for example like ‘ABC-123’, only ‘ABC’ is indexed for the product. The workaround is to edit the Search.php class and use it as override.

    use class Search extends SearchCore {} as a wrapper for public static function sanitize ()

    Find $indexation and remove the hyphen from preg_replace like so:

    if ($indexation) {
    $string = preg_replace(‘/[._]+/’, ‘ ‘, $string);
    }

    Reindex the products completely after upload.

    For additional reference, the database tables to cross check are ps_search_word and ps_search_index

  • Prestashop: change to 2 columns product listing for bootstrap theme in mobile

    Additional issue: because it is now 2 columns, and the original one column layout, height is not fixed, sometimes some products require more height, while some are shorter. When split side by side, this causes the grid to be broken if the combo is a tall and short product height.

    Fix: change the min-height in theme’s product-list.css to a value that fits the layout.
    (Product list(Grid) Styles) for @media (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px)
    ul.product_list.grid > li .product-container
    In this case, min-height: 460px;

    This is what I did and it worked for me.

    In your product-list.tpl file there should be a line like this:

    <li class=”ajax_block_product{if $page_name == ‘index’ || $page_name == ‘product’} col-xs-12 col-sm-4 col-md-3{else} col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-md-3{/if}

    for me it was line 49.

    change the col-xs-12 to col-xs-6 instead and it should show up in two columns.

  • Prestashop: category pages noindex

    Due to layered navigation block disabling robots by default…

    Solution: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/866411-category-pages-noindex/

    Hi, the problem comes from the “Layered navigation block” module. After the update to v2.2.1 something has changed.

    To Fix the problem for Prestashop 1.6 go to Modules and Services >> Layered navigation block >> Configure
    Scroll down to the CONFIGURATION section and set to YES the “Allow indexing robots….”
    This action will change the metatags for all category pages to “indexed, follow”

  • Prestashop: Add tags to the product list

    Source: http://nemops.com/prestashop-product-list-tags/#.XPt5M7hS-Ul

    1) Product.php class (use override)

    Insert code at the last part of public static function getProductProperties($id_lang, $row, Context $context = null)
    /* add product tags to product list */
    $row['tags'] = array();
    $tags = Tag::getProductTags($row['id_product']); //show product tags in listing
    if($tags && isset($tags[$context->language->id])) //show product tags in listing
    $row['tags'] = $tags[$context->language->id]; //show product tags in listing

    2) product-list.tpl (in theme folder)
    <div class="product-tags">{if $product.tags}{foreach from=$product.tags item=tag}<a class="btn bth-default" href="{$product.link|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$tag|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" >{$tag}</a>{/foreach}{/if}</div>

    3) global.js (in theme folder) add this above the product-reference html in 3 views (grid, table, list) it looks for product-tags name in div so make sure that matches in product-list.tpl
    html += '<div class="product-tags">'+$(element).find('.product-tags').html()+'</div>';

    Note: no all products have tags, so may mess up the listing layout. Add a min-height to the product-container to e.g. 500px
