SKU in Search results

[Klarity]

Hi Guys,

I was just wondering if it is possible to show the SKU within the search results page?

Many thanks,

Hi,

This is a fairly large modification and would require you to have knowledge of PHP.

Step 1

At the basic level you will need to find this file sf-post-formats.php located swift-framework/content/sf-post-formats.php

Step 2

Inside this file, copy the whole function sf_get_post_item() into your child theme.

Step 3

Locate this comment // DETAILS SETUP and above that copy in the below code:

if ( $post_type == 'product' && is_search() ) {
	global $product;
	$sku_out = $product->sku;
}

Step 4

Depending on what blog layout you are using you can then echo the variable $sku_out into the one of the various layouts within that function. An example:

$post_item .= '<div class="search-sku"><p>'.$sku_out.'</p></div>';

Whilst we cannot do the modification for you, this should get you 99% of the way.

Thanks,
David.

Hi Barry, this will output the SKU for each product within the search results.

It will not search by SKU.

The Relevanssi search plugin will allow you to include the SKU in the search index. https://wordpress.org/plugins/relevanssi/.

This plugin will require you to configure the search options:

1) “Indexing options” include “Product”.

2) “Custom fields to index:” please add _sku,sku.

3) Save the options and build the index.

I have tried this on my dev version and can confirm it works.

Hi Guys,

I’ve just set this up and noticed that there are a few things not quite working – wondering if you can help?

– When the product comes through the page title shows 0 results in the title
– When you type the sku into the search box it doesn’t show the preview

see images below for a better explanation.

Many thanks,
Pete

Hi,

As this is an advanced customisation you would need to seek the help of a WP Developer to fully integrate this third party plugin.

Whilst I can offer you tips and small code samples as above to point you in the right direction I cannot provide custom full integrations.

1) To intergrate the search results counter with the Relevannsi plugin, please follow their documentation on this topic: http://www.relevanssi.com/knowledge-base/found-posts/

2) A WP Developer would need to assist you to modify the AJAX search.

WP Developers are available from one of the below resources:
