Prioritise a certain category

Hi!

I’m sorry I have forgot to reply to your ticket on friday.

I have been trying to figure out a solution yet, that does not involve too much coding, but I couldn’t. The current state of the priority code does not work this way.

What I do in this case, is suggest a modification to the actual search code part. That solution would completely ignore all priority settings, and give a higher priority to the given category ID. I don’t know if that would solve your problem, because every other priority setting would be ignored. Let me know if that would be ok, and I will put together a modification.

Hi!

Sorry, I did look at the code but it seems like it might be an older version of the plugin. It’s going to be a bit more difficult, but try locating exactly this code:

[code]CASE WHEN " . $_prefix . "ajaxsearchpro_priorities.priority IS NULL
THEN 100
ELSE " . $_prefix . "ajaxsearchpro_priorities.priority
END AS priority,[/code]

and then replacing it with this one:

[code]IFNULL((
SELECT 1000
FROM $wpdb->term_relationships as xt
INNER JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy as tt ON ( xt.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id AND tt.term_id = 99999)
WHERE
xt.object_id = $wpdb->posts.ID
), 100) AS priority,[/code]

and replace the 99999 with the category ID you want to prioritize. ( end of 4th line in this code )

I’m not sure if this is going to work, but give it a try.
