    Hi there,

    We’re looking for a way to add a shortcode (or php code into a page template) so that particular products in our store appear within a page, without using the search. So, the URL for our search is:
    http://www.site.com/?sfid=139925&_sft_product_cat=tool-boxes-tool-storage&_sft_product_brand=Faithfull

    How can we get that search result in a page using a shortcode or php within a page template?

    Thanks! 🙂 Loving the plugin so far. Keep up the good work.

    Hey there, thanks for the kind words.

    I think what you are looking for is to display your results using a shortcode – which you can then embed in a page – check the docs here:

    Thanks

    thanks for the reply. No, that isn’t what I am after.

    I am essentially looking to show particular products/results based on a KNOWN filter (as per my example). I do not want users to need to perform a search. They just visit Page X and it will list the products/results. Similar to using a woocommerce shortcode to display a particular product ID or category. I want the bring in particular products/results, as per my example URL above (but without performing the search). Does that make sense?

    Hey there

    I’m afraid this is not an option really.

    The closest thing that exists in S&F is to:

    1) Create a search form,
    2) configure defaults, and include/exclude options
    3) set display mode to “shortcode”
    4) use the results shortcode to display the posts

    I think what you are looking for is something more dynamic.

    There is 1 way to achieve something similar using code. There is a fairly undocumented filter which means you can change the filter that gets applied to hte results.

    Please see here:

    http://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/2-0-upgrade-notes/#No_more_pre_get_posts

    This filter allows you to change most of the regular parameters that are passed to to WP_Query – which may do what you want (you would need to combine it with the results shortcode method described above).

    Hope that helps?

    Thanks
