Hi - I have the current search result display hidden link

Is it possible to have the detailed search results layout above AND a second result display option for mosaic thumbnail gallery with product images linked to individual product pages?

I need to show 4 columns and 4 rows of just product featured image thumbnails without text.

Hello,

Will the mosaic images be related to the individual posts or will they just be the same posts that would normally be displayed when the search is done.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

I'm not sure I understand your question. I'm pretty much open to suggestions on this. What I do know is that we need a faster way to browse through the product images alone (with no text like below the current detailed search).

The objective is an alternate search result displaying just images (4 columns/4 rows with a total of 16 per page) that link to their source product page.

I would like for the visitor to have the option of using the current detailed search or browse the mosaic gallery.

Any ideas on how to approach this?

Hi Charles,

I wouldn't recommend adding all this on one page.

I would suggest having the mosaic page separate where they can browse the items rather than having them on the search page.

This is because it can affect the load speed of the page when there are so many images being displayed. Let me know what you think of this.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

I would like to place a link on the home page "Quick Browse" which will target a page where all products are displayed 16 featured images per page with arrow pagination. Each image should link to its related product page.

Would it be possible for you to give me instruction on how to achieve the above workflow?

Hi Charles,

Yes this is totally possible.

The button you should be able to add it with the Divi module and then add the link to the page.

For the page with the gallery this will be as simple as adding a view to the page that will just be listing out the images of the featured items.

So what you would need to add to the view would be.

<a href='[wpv-post-url]'><img src='[wpv-post-featured-image output="url"]' /></a>

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

I duplicated the view used for the original search form and results and set it for hidden link and I added a button module link to the original search form for an extended search option.

This quick search would work great but what I do not understand is, if I duplicated the original search view which displays the "Reset and Submit" buttons as centered, why do they not appear so in the duplicated view?

Hi Shane,

I was able to resolve the issue of the button links and pagination displaying centered and I think the layout looks pretty good.

Hi Charles,

Awesome !!

I took a look at this and I like how it turns out.

Is this resolved now ? or do you need further clarification.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,
Shane
