Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
|
Step 1: Setup and Prerequisites
To begin, ensure that you have:
- A WordPress website with WooCommerce installed.
- A basic understanding of HTML, JavaScript (jQuery), and PHP.
No external plugins are required, though familiarity with the code is essential.
Step 2: Create a Custom Search Form
The first step is to build a custom search form that will handle the AJAX requests. In your theme’s directory, create a custom template file for the search form.
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">
<input type="text" value="<?php echo get_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" placeholder="Search products..." autocomplete="off"/>
<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="product" />
</form>
<div id="product-results"></div>
This simple search form will collect the user’s query and pass it through AJAX for product searches. The #product-results
div will later display the filtered products.
