Different search instances for different users

[jens021Participant]

Hi

I have created two different search instances. I want one of them (B) to be used only if the page body contains the class “wholesale_customer”, that is a wholesale customer is logged in, otherwise the other instance (A) should be used. I have now put the search instance (A) in the page with a short code.

The only difference between the two search instances is that one instance (A) excludes one product category (product_cat)

Hi Stefan,

Actually, this might be doable simply, because of that body class. So I’m assuming that search instance ID=1 is the one for the non-wholesale, and ID=2 is for the wholesale customers. To solve this, place both search shortcodes into the same place, where you need them.

Then, use this custom CSS code:

.asp_m_2 {
     display: none !imporant;
}

.wholesale_customer .asp_m_1 {
    display: none !important;
}

.asp_m_2 {
     display: block !imporant;
}

If you have different search bars with different IDs, then just change the numbers in the code.

This is also doable with a single search bar & a different custo mcode, if it is somehow possible to check programatically if the current customer is a wholesale customer, but I think this should work as well.

Best,
Ernest Marcinko

Thanks for your answer.

I solved it through JavaScript in a similar way.
——-
if (jQuery(‘body’).hasClass(‘wholesale_customer’) ){
jQuery(‘.asp_m_1’).css(‘display’, ‘none’);
jQuery(‘.asp_m_2’).css(‘display’, ‘block’);
}
