   I'm using a child theme and have wp e-commerce installed. As you may or may not know, the normal WP search does not search for your products in wp e-commerce and the wpec *only* searches the products.

   There is a plugin called Simple Unified Search for WP E-Commerce and the instructions give this bit of code to add to modify the search loop:

   <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
         <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
             <?php if (!psp_isProduct($post)) : ?>
                 <!-- Normal post display code goes here -->
                 ...
             <?php else : ?>
                 <!-- Here goes product display code -->
                 <a>">
                     <img src="<?php psp_productImageName($post); ?>" width="56"
                          alt="<?php psp_productName($post); ?>"
                          title="<?php psp_productName($post); ?>" />
                 </a>
                 <a>">
                     <?php psp_productName($post); ?></a>
                     On product category
                     <a>">
                         <?php psp_productCategory($post); ?></a>
                 <?php psp_productData($post); ?>
             <?php endif; ?>
         <?php endwhile; ?>
     <?php else : ?>
         Not Found
     <?php endif; ?>

   My question is, should I wrap this in a new search function and put it in the functions.php file of my child theme? How would I do this? Otherwise, how would I modify the search loop in Thematic to allow for this modification?

   FYI - I've tried Search Unleashed and I got an error on index with one of the wp e-commerce dynamically generated pages...

   I'm still a bit new to this so could really appreciate the help.

   Hi joshuaiz,

   Look into thematic/library/extensions/content-extensions.php for the contents of thematic_search_loop

   You'll want to remove it in your child theme's functions.php with:

   function child_remove_searchloop() {
        remove_action('thematic_searchloop','thematic_search_loop');
   }
   add_action('init','child_remove_searchloop');

   Next you'll want to rebuild you're version of it:

   function child_create_searchloop() {
        // add your modified loop here
   }
   add_action('thematic_searchloop','child_create_searchloop');

   Thanks Gene...

   I added the function to remove the thematic search loop and then added the function to create my search loop but I'm getting a syntax error...I just copied and pasted what was in the plugin documentation but I don't know enough to figure out what's wrong with the code:

   function child_create_searchloop() {
        // add your modified loop here
   
        <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
        <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
            <?php if (!psp_isProduct($post)) : ?>
                <!-- Normal post display code goes here -->
   
            <?php else : ?>
                <!-- Here goes product display code -->
                <a>">
         <img src="<?php psp_productImageName($post); ?>" width="56"
              alt="<?php psp_productName($post); ?>"
              title="<?php psp_productName($post); ?>" />
     </a>
            <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
    <?php else : ?>
        Not Found
    <?php endif; ?>
   
   }
   add_action('thematic_searchloop','child_create_searchloop');

   I'm also not sure what goes into the 'Normal post display code' area...would I just insert the code that's in the thematic searchloop in content-extensions.php?

   This is the only bit I'm having a lot of trouble with on the site I'm working on. If I can get this unified search working, I'm golden.

   Try this:

   function child_remove_searchloop() {
        remove_action('thematic_searchloop','thematic_search_loop');
   }
   add_action('init','child_remove_searchloop');
   
   function child_create_searchloop() {
   	// add your modified loop here
   
   	if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   		<?php if (function_exists(psp_isProduct) && (psp_isProduct($post)) ) { ?>
   			<!-- Here goes product display code -->
   			<a href="#">
         			<img src="<?php psp_productImageName($post); ?>" width="56"
         				alt="<?php psp_productName($post); ?>"
         				title="<?php psp_productName($post); ?>" />
     			</a>
   		<?php } else { ?>
   			<!-- Normal post display code goes here -->
   			<div id="post-<?php the_ID() ?>" class="<?php thematic_post_class() ?>">
   				<?php thematic_postheader(); ?>
   				<div class="entry-content">
   					<?php thematic_content(); ?>
   				</div>
   				<?php thematic_postfooter(); ?>
   			</div><!-- .post -->
   		<?php } ?>
   	  <?php endwhile;?>
   	<?php endif;
   }
   add_action('thematic_searchloop','child_create_searchloop');

   I think this addresses what you're trying to do.

   Thanks Gene - you are awesome. Unfortunately, the Unified Search Plugin is not working...

   With this function, and without the plugin activated the search works as it did before but as soon as I activated the Unified Search for WP E- Commerce plugin (which is not really a full fledged plugin) the search is hosed. I just get blank images with a question mark and the urls don't point to anything.

   Since I've created a page structure that augments the dynamically created pages in wp e-commerce the normal WP search (without the plugin activated) is still grabbing those page titles so it kind of gets people to the products. I can live with this for the time being.

   I just feel like having two search boxes (one for products and one for posts) is a wholly inelegant solution. Hopefully Instinct (the developers of wp e-commerce) will build a unified search into a future version.

   That said, if I could get Search Unleashed working that would solve my problem as well, I get an error related to one of the wp e-commerce functions on index and then the index fails...no one on the getshopped.org forums can figure it out...

   Anyway, thanks for your help!
