About

A WordPress plugin for WooCommerce products AJAX Search with filters.

SpeedSearch themes

To add a custom SpeedSearch theme, add it to your WP theme under speedsearch/themes/ directory.

You can see an example of the theme in samples/example-theme/ dir. So its path should be wp-content/themes/my-theme/saffy/themes/example-theme/ (and don’t forget to run npm install and npm run build for it).

And then select a theme under SpeedSearch settings in “Themes” tab (you don’t have this tab if you have no themes installed).

Other Notes #

  • There are 3 levels on filtering:
Level Description
0 When you select “how to treat empty categories and attributes” (saffy-setting-how-to-treat-empty option) or “hide unavailable tags” setting.
1 When you select category. Its behaviour is also affected by level 0 setting to a full degree.
2 When you select filters (tags, toggles, attributes) inside the category. Its behaviour is also affected by level 0 setting – but it doesn’t hide, just disables (even if the level 0 option is set to “hide”), and doesn’t work when it’s set to “show”.

Dev Notes / TODO #

  • Be aware of possible filters’ data-name collisions! Use ‘attribute’ or ‘pa_’ prefixes for attributes.
