Hi,

I am trying to explore the features of Cart Viper  with my DNN 9 portal. I want to customize DNN site search to show products and categories from Cart Viper  along with DNN site contents. Could you please suggest how to make it possible? Are Cart Viper provides any API facility to query the products and categories search results?

Thanks in advance,
Shino

Hi,

If you're looking to write some custom search module that searched for products and categories and integrated these into your result set you could reference our CartViper.Modules.Store.dll in your project.

The below code would allow you to search for products:

LuceneSearchIndexer indexer = new LuceneSearchIndexer(this.PortalId, 
                                                                                HttpContext.Current, 
                                                                                StoreLanguage.LocaleToDisplayInStoreUI(PortalId));

 string searchTerm = HttpUtility.UrlDecode("test search value");

 int totalMatches;

 var facetFilter = FacetUrlParser.LoadFacetFilterFromUrl();

 IList<ProductInfo> searchResults = indexer.Search(searchTerm, 
                                                                           CatalogNavigation.SearchSortSelector.Relevance,
                                                                           1,
                                                                           30,
                                                                           facetFilter,
                                                                           StoreLanguage.LocaleToDisplayInStoreUI(this.PortalId),
                                                                           out totalMatches)
                                                                   .Where(r => !r.Archived)
                                                                   .ToList();

We don't have anything in built to search categories so you would need to write the search part yourself but the below would get you all the active categories. 

CategoryController catController = new CategoryController();
 var categories = catController.GetCategories(PortalId, false, -3, true, StoreLanguage.LocaleToDisplayInStoreUI(this.PortalId));

Regards
Nigel.
