Hi,

Could someone tell me please how to exclude a K2 category from search results?

I have 2 categories (‘Vacancies’ and ‘Candidates’ ).

When using the dropboxes to perform the search all works correctly – only ‘Vacancy’ results appear – but when using a keyword all results appear – I only need to see ‘Vacancies’.

thanks in advance

Can anyone assist? I had hoped there would be some level of support since this was a paid plugin.

Hi tjckelly, rsystems

For now, module can’t exclude a K2 category from all categories. It will show all categories of k2 component.

Regards

I have discussed with the devs and we will explore the possibility to add the option to select / multi-select categories to show in the frontend drop down.

I will get back to you with confirmation on this pretty soon.

Appreciate the response, thank you.

I have been looking around some of the forums for other K2 searches and there are some examples of altering the php code as a workaround, for example:

”
if ($this->site) {
$where[] = ‘a.published = 1’;
$where[] = ‘a.trash = 0’;

Now add this code immediately below:

$where[] = ‘NOT a.catid = 12’;
”

I was wondering if I could do something similar in the meantime with the JAK2 search – but don’t know where to look to place the code – I’m not a programmer!

regards

Hi darvinDC,
I was serching something similar… and it comes perfectly in time. Good work.
I just reinstalled this brand new release: it works fine, but I’m confused about the expected working.
When I select the category search option in the frontend I correctly get the dropdown menu with my choosen categories, so I can search in my specific categories.
The unexpected is that for a blank search (all items) the module displays results for all categories and not only for the selected ones.
I think the categories you select in the backend should also restrict the default search…
Is there anything wrong in my installation?
How can I restrict my default search to specific categories?
Thank you very much.

Hi @iway2011,

– Pls open file: /components/com_jak2filter/models/itemlist.php, find this function:

[PHP]
function prepareSearch($search) {
[/PHP]

go to line 816 change
[PHP]
if(JRequest::getInt(‘category_id’)){

$ja_cid = JRequest::getInt(‘category_id’);
$category = JTable::getInstance(‘K2Category’, ‘Table’);
$category->load($ja_cid);
$cparams = class_exists(‘JParameter’) ? new JParameter($category->params) : new JRegistry($category->params);

if ($cparams->get(‘inheritFrom’))
{

$parent = JTable::getInstance(‘K2Category’, ‘Table’);
$parent->load($cparams->get(‘inheritFrom’));
$cparams = class_exists(‘JParameter’) ? new JParameter($parent->params) : new JRegistry($parent->params);
}

if ($cparams->get(‘catCatalogMode’))
{
$where[] = “i.catid = “.$db->quote($ja_cid).” “;
}
else
{
$categories = $this->getCategoryTree($ja_cid);
$where[] = “i.catid IN (“.@implode(‘,’, $categories).”) “;
}
//$sql.= ” AND i.catid = “.$db->quote(JRequest::getVar(‘category_id’)).” “;
}
[/PHP]

to

[PHP]
//Search by Category
if(JRequest::getVar(‘category_id’)){
$ja_cid = JRequest::getVar(‘category_id’);
$ja_cids = explode(“,”,$ja_cid);
$category = JTable::getInstance(‘K2Category’, ‘Table’);
foreach($ja_cids AS $cid){
$category->load($cid);
$cparams = class_exists(‘JParameter’) ? new JParameter($category->params) : new JRegistry($category->params);

if ($cparams->get(‘inheritFrom’))
{

$parent = JTable::getInstance(‘K2Category’, ‘Table’);
$parent->load($cparams->get(‘inheritFrom’));
$cparams = class_exists(‘JParameter’) ? new JParameter($parent->params) : new JRegistry($parent->params);
}

if ($cparams->get(‘catCatalogMode’))
{
$where[] = “i.catid = “.$db->quote($cid).” “;
}
else
{
$categories = $this->getCategoryTree($cid);
$where[] = “i.catid IN (“.@implode(‘,’, $categories).”) “;
}
}
//$sql.= ” AND i.catid = “.$db->quote(JRequest::getVar(‘category_id’)).” “;
}
[/PHP]

– Open file: modules/mod_jak2filter/helper.php, find and replace this snippet of code:

[PHP]
public function getCategories($groupcategories){

$cat_id = JRequest::getInt(‘category_id’,0);

$categories_option[]=JHTML::_(‘select.option’, 0, JText::_(‘SELECT_CATEGORY_FRONT’));

$categories = $this->categoriesTree($groupcategories,NULL, true, true);

$categories_options=@array_merge($categories_option, $categories);

$attribs = array(‘option.attr’ => ‘rel’, ‘option.key’ => ‘value’, ‘option.text’ => ‘text’,
‘list.attr’ => array(‘class’ => ‘inputbox’, ‘onchange’=>’jak2DisplayExtraFields(this);’),
‘list.select’ => $cat_id);

//Important Note: do not add more parametter after $attribs, add them into $attribs
$categories_html = JHTML::_(‘select.genericlist’, $categories_options, ‘category_id’, $attribs);

return $categories_html;
}
[/PHP]

With

[PHP]
public function getCategories($groupcategories){

$cat_id = JRequest::getVar(‘category_id’,0);

if(is_array($groupcategories)){
if(($key = array_search(0, $groupcategories)) !== false) {
unset($groupcategories[$key]);
}
$categories_option[]=JHTML::_(‘select.option’, implode(“,”,$groupcategories), JText::_(‘SELECT_CATEGORY_FRONT’));
}else{
$categories_option[]=JHTML::_(‘select.option’, 0, JText::_(‘SELECT_CATEGORY_FRONT’));
}
$categories = $this->categoriesTree($groupcategories,NULL, true, true);

$categories_options=@array_merge($categories_option, $categories);

$attribs = array(‘option.attr’ => ‘rel’, ‘option.key’ => ‘value’, ‘option.text’ => ‘text’,
‘list.attr’ => array(‘class’ => ‘inputbox’, ‘onchange’=>’jak2DisplayExtraFields(this);’),
‘list.select’ => $cat_id);

//Important Note: do not add more parametter after $attribs, add them into $attribs
$categories_html = JHTML::_(‘select.genericlist’, $categories_options, ‘category_id’, $attribs);

return $categories_html;
}
