Category Search

[Andy Ide]

Hi guys,

Have any of you guys coded a multiple category search?

Ideally I would want a visitor to click a few categories and then products are shown in all those categories.

I have asked around and a few have said they havent done it - but I want to check with you guys first, before I commit to coding it.


Thanks!

I just created a plugin that filters out any products in a particular
category from the results (my client wanted only show certain products
to logged-in users.)

Frankly, it can't be done with the plugin as it currently exists. I
had to comment out the call to wpsc_products_by_category (at the end
of wpsc_generate_product_query (wpsc_core/wpsc_functions.php)) because
it poops all over the query sql directly (yuck!)

Only then could I add the tax_query array to the wp_query with no
apparent negative impact on the query results.

I am happy to make my plugin code available if it would help. Creating
complicated tax_query is relatively easy.

Patches welcome!  I'm not opposed to seeing some of the querying mechanisms in core refactored to work with tax_query.  That parameter was made available in 3.1, PHP5 has been required since 3.2, and much of WPEC requires PHP5...ergo...tax_query!

Thanks,
