Is there a way to implement negative keywords in the WP plugin?
I know that in PT you can edit some files but can you do the same for PTO?
Cheers
brillant thanks works like a charm
it was driving me nuts to have a totally unrelated item returned just because they used a word in the title!!
Hi,
The IN BOOLEAN MODE mod can be added to pto_search.php for negative keyword support. To do this, look for the following code beginning at line 256:
$where = "MATCH ".$matchFields." AGAINST ('".$wpdb->escape($parts[0])."')";$sql = "SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * , MIN( price ) AS minPrice, MAX( price ) AS maxPrice, COUNT( id ) AS numMerchants, MATCH ".$matchFields." AGAINST ('".$wpdb->escape($parts[0])."') AS relevance FROM `".$pto_config_databaseTablePrefix."products` WHERE ".$where.$priceWhere." GROUP BY name";
...and REPLACE with:
$where = "MATCH ".$matchFields." AGAINST ('".$wpdb->escape($parts[0])."' IN BOOLEAN MODE)";$sql = "SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * , MIN( price ) AS minPrice, MAX( price ) AS maxPrice, COUNT( id ) AS numMerchants, MATCH ".$matchFields." AGAINST ('".$wpdb->escape($parts[0])."' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AS relevance FROM `".$pto_config_databaseTablePrefix."products` WHERE ".$where.$priceWhere." GROUP BY name";
You'll then be able to search for example
this +that -notthisSo in the above query, "this" - optional (no prefix), "that" - must include ("+" prefix) and "notthis" - must not include ("-" prefix)
Cheers,
David.
