Search Page no result redirect

[Sprenzy]

Hi,

 

When searching in Prestashop and no results are found, is it possible to then redirect to the Prestashop contact us form with some custom writing on the page (We apologies that the search result came up empty, please fill in the contact form below and we will try our best to assist you in getting the product you are looking for).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

and if you want to add message box with information that no result found in contact page

in this case you have to redirect user to page contact-us with additional get param, for example: &search=noresults

 

instead:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location="ursite.com/contactus";
//-->
</script>

 

use this:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location="{$link->getPageLink('contact',false,null,'search=noresults')}";
//-->
</script>

 

 

then in contact.tpl page use this:

 

{if Tools::getValue('search')=="noresults"}
<p class="warning">{l s='Sorry, no results found. please contact with us.'}</p>
{/if}

Thank you very much, your post helped me big time to get this working!

 

Just one question, is it possible to have the search query remain in the search field after the redirect? This will allow my users to edit their search rather than retype it out.

[vekia]

it is possible but in this case you will have edit .tpl file and also change the return page a bit. Just pass additional variable in the url

search=noresults&query=USER_QUERY_HERE

 

then in search field (block search module .tpl file) user {$smarty.get.query}

Hi Vekia,

 

Thanks for your fast reply.

 

Unfortunatly i am not understanding you 100%. Do you mean add

search=noresults&query=USER_QUERY_HERE

to the search.tpl or contact-form.tpl in the URL window.location={......}

 

And where should i add {$smarty.get.query} in the /modules/blocksearch/blocksearch.tpl?

Hi !

 

I need to do exactly the same things (redirect to a page when there are no results). But in the current version there is no search.tpl, and there isn't any of the files who looks like that. Can you help me ?

 

Thanks

Hi everyone!

In my case, I want that the search module show the results because now, always redirect to the home page and I don't know why! I mean, the search module doesn't work!

Can any help? I tried to uninstall, and reinstall, clean caché, etc ... but nothing, the same thing. When you search any thing always redirect to the home

Thanks in advance!
