Looping the [-- PRODUCT --] tag in search results

[natez311]

Hi,

I am working on displaying products in the search results page but I am a bit confused on how it all works. What I would like to generate is a loop of 8 products resulting from a search query. Would this be possible using the [--LOOP--] and [-- PRODUCT --] tags within a search template. The [-- PRODUCT --] tag contains the exact layout I want for the thumbnails.

Would there be a combination of rules I would have to use to allow this? For instance:
[-- VAR.anyresults "yes" --]
<ul>
[-- LOOP PRODUCTS 8 --]
<li>[-- PRODUCT --]</li>
[-- END_LOOP PRODUCTS --]
</ul>

Any input input on this would help, thanks!

You need to use the search template specification for search results pages.
See: http://shopsite.com/help/10.0/en-US/sc/ ... earch.html

It will use the product template that you assign under Preferences > Search Settings > Search Layout. So you could use the same product template but the actual Search template is different than a page template as described in the help page above.
