Hi,

I’ve been trying for many hours using the VC Grid Builder to get the search results page displaying the way the standard Archive page does on the site. If I could get php code in the Grid builder it may work, but have not figured out a way to achieve it.

So I thought, why not modify the search.php page instead to look like the archive page. However after a few unsuccessful attempts I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind helping by showing me where in the code on the search.php page it should be inserted? Here is the code from the archive loop…

/* === START ARCHIVE LOOP PAGE CONTENT === */
<?php

global $mk_options;

$output = ”;

if ($view_params[‘thumbnail_align’] == ‘left’){
$align_class = ‘ content-align-right’;
}else{
$align_class = ‘ content-align-left’;
}

$image_height = $view_params[‘grid_image_height’];
$image_width = 400;

$post_type = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_single_post_type’, true);
$post_type = !empty($post_type) ? $post_type : ‘image’;

$attachment_id = mk_get_blog_post_thumbnail($post_type);

$featured_image_src = Mk_Image_Resize::resize_by_id_adaptive($attachment_id, $view_params[‘image_size’], $image_width, $image_height, $crop = true, $dumm = false);

$image_size_atts = Mk_Image_Resize::get_image_dimension_attr($attachment_id, $view_params[‘image_size’], $image_width, $image_height);

$post_width = Mk_Image_Resize::is_default_thumb($featured_image_src[‘default’]) ? ‘full-width-post’ : ”;

$output .= ‘<article id=”‘ . get_the_ID() . ‘” class=”mk-blog-thumbnail-item ‘.$post_type.’-post-type mk-isotop-item ‘ . $post_type . ‘-post-type’.$align_class.’ ‘.$post_width.’ clearfix”>’ . “\n”;

if (!Mk_Image_Resize::is_default_thumb($featured_image_src[‘default’])) {
$output .= ‘<div class=”featured-image” > false)) . ‘”>’;
$output .= ‘ false)) . ‘” title=”‘ . the_title_attribute(array(‘echo’ => false)) . ‘” src=”‘.$featured_image_src[‘dummy’].'” ‘.$featured_image_src[‘data-set’].’ width=”‘.esc_attr($image_size_atts[‘width’]).'” height=”‘.esc_attr($image_size_atts[‘height’]).'” itemprop=”image” />’;
$output .= ‘<div class=”image-hover-overlay”></div>’;

$output .= ‘<div class=”post-type-badge” href=”‘ . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . ‘”>’.Mk_SVG_Icons::get_svg_icon_by_class_name(false, $post_type_icon).'</div>’;
$output .= ‘</div>’;
}

$output .= ‘<div class=”item-wrapper”>’;

// start: [mk-blog-meta]
$output .= ‘<div class=”mk-blog-meta”>’;
if ($view_params[‘disable_meta’] == ‘true’) {
$output.= mk_get_shortcode_view(‘mk_blog’, ‘components/meta’, true);
}
$output.= mk_get_shortcode_view(‘mk_blog’, ‘components/title’, true);
$output.= mk_get_shortcode_view(‘mk_blog’, ‘components/excerpt’, true, [‘excerpt_length’ => $view_params[‘excerpt_length’], ‘full_content’ => false]);

$output .= ‘<div class=”mk-teader-button”>’;
$output .= do_shortcode( ‘[mk_button dimension=”outline” corner_style=”pointed” outline_skin=”dark” margin_bottom=”0″ size=”medium” align=”left” url=”‘ . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . ‘”]’.__(‘see artwork’, ‘mk_framework’).'[/mk_button]’ );
$output .= ‘</div>’;

$output .= ‘</div>’;
// end: [mk-blog-meta]

$output .= ‘</div>’; // end: [item-wrapper]

$output .= ‘<div class=”clearboth”></div></article>’ . “\n\n\n”;
echo $output;
/* === END ARCHIVE LOOP PAGE CONTENT === */

Thank you very much.
