Developer Tips: How to Enable Prestashop CMS Search. Part 2

Last Monday we have described how to enable PrestaShop CMS search. Today we will explore how to make this search more flexible and how to create module settings (remember, that we have already posted the module to enable PrestaShop CMS search).

Let’s start with updating the module to 2.0 version. To do that, change the $this->version = ‘2.0.0’ parameter in the module constructor. Now we need to write a module with function, similar to standard search in PrestaShop. Create two tables, belvg_cms_search_index and belvg_cms_search_word, to be used for articles indexation. Don’t forget to add the indexed flag, noting that the article is indexed.

$sql[] = 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `'._DB_PREFIX_.'belvg_cms_search_index` (
`id_cms` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`id_word` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`weight` smallint(4) unsigned NOT NULL default 1,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id_word`, `id_cms`)
) ENGINE='._MYSQL_ENGINE_.' DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8';

$sql[] = 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `'._DB_PREFIX_.'belvg_cms_search_word` (
 `id_word` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`id_lang` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`word` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY  (`id_word`),
UNIQUE KEY `id_lang` (`id_lang`,`word`)
) ENGINE='._MYSQL_ENGINE_.' DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8';

$sql = 'SELECT * FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'cms`';
$check_array = Db::getInstance()->getRow($sql);
if (!array_key_exists('indexed', $check_array)){
		if (!Db::getInstance()->Execute('ALTER TABLE `'._DB_PREFIX_.'cms` ADD `indexed` TINYINT( 1 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT \'0\''))
			return false;
	}

$sql[] = 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `'._DB_PREFIX_.'belvg_cms_search_index` (

`id_cms` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,

`id_word` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,

`weight` smallint(4) unsigned NOT NULL default 1,

PRIMARY KEY (`id_word`, `id_cms`)

) ENGINE='._MYSQL_ENGINE_.' DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8';

$sql[] = 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `'._DB_PREFIX_.'belvg_cms_search_word` (

`id_word` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,

`id_lang` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,

`word` varchar(15) NOT NULL,

PRIMARY KEY (`id_word`),

UNIQUE KEY `id_lang` (`id_lang`,`word`)

) ENGINE='._MYSQL_ENGINE_.' DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8';

$sql = 'SELECT * FROM `'._DB_PREFIX_.'cms`';

$check_array = Db::getInstance()->getRow($sql);

if (!array_key_exists('indexed', $check_array)){

if (!Db::getInstance()->Execute('ALTER TABLE `'._DB_PREFIX_.'cms` ADD `indexed` TINYINT( 1 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT \'0\''))

return false;

In order to index an article while saving and updating articles, we change CMS class by extending the functionality of add () and update () methods:

public function add($autodate = true, $nullValues = false)
	{
		$success = parent::add($autodate, $nullValues);
		if ($success)
			CMS::indexation(false, $this->id);
		return $success;
	}

	public function update($nullValues = false)
	{
		$success = parent::update($autodate, $nullValues);
		if ($success)
			CMS::indexation(false, $this->id);
		return $success;
	}

public function add($autodate = true, $nullValues = false)

{

$success = parent::add($autodate, $nullValues);

if ($success)

CMS::indexation(false, $this->id);

return $success;

}

public function update($nullValues = false)

{

$success = parent::update($autodate, $nullValues);

if ($success)

CMS::indexation(false, $this->id);

return $success;

}

indexation () method enters data about articles in index tables.

public static function indexation($full = false, $id_cms = false)
	{
		$db = Db::getInstance();

		}

getArticlesToIndex () method returns a list of articles, needed to be indexed, or if the article identifier was transferred, it checks whether the article requires indexation. saveIndex () method is responsible for recording new indexes data in the database. SetArticlesAsIndexed () marks the indexed flag we created earlier in cms table.

To allow users to customize the module, you need to implement a getContent () method in the belvg_cmssearchfree.php file, which should return the html, containing a form with settings.

We have updated the CMS Search module for Prestashop 1.5. Head to our store to get it – http://module-presta.com/cms-search.html.

But that’s not all – we will be offering the new version of the module for free to several blog readers who were interested in it’s appearance enough to ask us about it. If you wrote a comment to this post – please contact us at [email protected] and we will give you a special download code.

Is there already a solution for 1.5? Would be very nice.

Elaine,

Yes, we remember about this module. We will try to remake it this month since there are already
several users who have been waiting for this.

Hi Alex,

Have you had any progress on updating the module for 1.5?

Thomas,

This module works only with Prestashop 1.4, but I am going to update it in the nearest future. So stay tuned!

I’ve sent it on email.
Thanks-

Pawel,

This problem has probably occurred because of incorrect module installation and/or configuration. Would you please send us on [email protected] or via Live Chat tab FTP and admin accesses so that our developers could check out and fix your issue?
Pawel W. says:

On my it is not working.
I think that problem is that module is not indexing my pages.
When i am using reindex all button i am getting page just to path bar and then it is cut.
Where is the problem laying?
I am using 1.4.4.1
