Show discontinued items at bottom of search results...

[n_s_simpson]

Hi Everyone

 

We're running PS 1.6.

 

When items are discontinued we change the category to discontinued. We also remove the manufacturer, which stops it appearing in Adwords/Bing.

 

I don't want to hide the product because customers that search for it on our site might want related items. Plus, the product page is updated to show the replacement.

 

However, what I would like if for discontinued items to appear at the bottom of any search results.

 

Is there a way to do this?

 

Cheers

 

Nick

Of course, with some simple module that displays products from selected categories, all you would need to do is to hook it to the search page with some custom hook. If you are interested I can create such a module for you.

Thanks for the info. I can see expensive search modules available but not sure if they will do exactly what I need.

I think I got you wrong, you want to affect the order of products in the search results, not to display something below every search result. That should also be possible, you just need to think about the way that you want to sort the products.
