So I flat out refuse to pay 40 bucks for a license that does nothing but save you a couple hours time. Don’t be lazy coders!

In a previous post I told you how I got into WP eCommerce to get products by ID.

Now I’m going to show you how to get a product search using the normal WordPress search.

Firstly create a file in your theme folder called loop-search.php

Done that? Great, well done.. Now paste the below code into it

<?php
if ( have_posts ( ) )
    while ( have_posts ( ) ):
        the_post ( )?>
				<i id="post-">
                                    <a class="entry-title" href="">
                                        <?php the_title ( )?>
                                    </a>

                                    <div class="entry-content">
                                        <a class="product-thumb-price" href="">
                                            <img class="product_search_thumb" src="" alt="" />
                                        </a>
                                        <div class="product_search_description">
                                            <p class="product-search-description-text">
                                            <?php
                                                #Echo a snippet of the content/description
                                                echo substr( get_the_content ( ), 0, 400 )
                                            ?>
                                            <a class="product-search-more-link" href="">[...]
                                            </p>
                                            <span class="product_search_price">
                                                <?php echo wpsc_the_product_price ( )?>
                                            </span>
                                            <div class="search-product-buttons">
                                                <?php echo wpsc_add_to_cart_button ( get_the_ID ( ) )?>
                                            </div>
                                        </div>
                                    </div>
				</li>
<?php endwhile?>
</ul>

Tada! Product search, that’s probably broken for actual wordpress post searches… But its a work in progress. Only works in WP eCommerce 3.8+ as well so no bitching it doesn’t work, pull our finger out and dig/mess around
