[SOLVED]Get Category Id on SearchController.php

[Informatica Ros]

Hi

I moved the search module to the column left, and I set the column left only to be displayed on category view.

Then I edited Seach.php class to recive a new parameter for the category id, and use it on searches.

 

public static function find($id_lang, $expr, $page_number = 1, $page_size = 1, $order_by = 'position',
        $order_way = 'desc',$cat_id, $ajax = false, $use_cookie = true, Context $context = null)

 

//...

 

$results = $db->executeS('
        SELECT cp.`id_product`
        FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_product` cp
        '.(Group::isFeatureActive() ? 'INNER JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category_group` cg ON cp.`id_category` = cg.`id_category`' : '').'
        INNER JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'category` c ON cp.`id_category` = c.`id_category`
        INNER JOIN `'._DB_PREFIX_.'product` p ON cp.`id_product` = p.`id_product`
        '.Shop::addSqlAssociation('product', 'p', false).'
        WHERE c.`active` = 1
        AND product_shop.`active` = 1
        AND product_shop.`visibility` IN ("both", "search")
        AND c.`id_category` = ' . $cat_id.'
        AND product_shop.indexed = 1
        '.$sql_groups, true, false);

 

 

But no matter how I try, I can't get the category id on SearchController.php to send it to the find function.

Any one can help me?

Thanks

 

//EDIT

Ok, I solved by myself using:

        $url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
        preg_match_all('!\d+!', $url, $matches);
        $arr1=array_shift($matches);
        $cid=array_shift($arr1);

In SearchController.php

As the only way to go to search is in a category view, the referer url always contains a category id
