An A to Z, 0 to 9 (Alpha-numeric) search/listing module for VirtueMart.Search for VirtueMart products by first letter or number and display the results in the standard VirtueMart search results page. If only one result is found it redirects to the product page. You can try it here - Demo ... and download it here - Download How it works -It just utilises the standard Virtuemart search but filters it by product name and 1st letter or number.It needs the installation of this module and two very small hacks in classes/ps_main.php and html/shop_browse_queries.php The module installs as normal and publish it somewhere. The only only parameters are pre and post text and module classes. It's simply a list of search urls and is very simple to style differently directly in the mod_az_virtuemart.php file or with css. 
StylingGive the module a class then style the resulting menu classa.mainlevel-az {
... An image for each letter would be even better.padding-left:5px; text-decoration:none; } Source Changes NeededThe change needed to html/shop_browse_queries.php is to make a new $search_limiter parameter so it only searches for the 1st letter.around line 110 insert after switch($search_limiter) { case "az":
so it looks like
$sq .= "\n `#__{vm}_product`.`product_name` LIKE '$searchstring%' "; break; switch($search_limiter) {
In the file classes/ps_main.php the function "vmGetCleanArrayFromKeyword" ignores the search unless there's more than 2 letters.case "az": $sq .= "\n `#__{vm}_product`.`product_name` LIKE '$searchstring%' "; break; case "name": $sq .= "\n `#__{vm}_product`.`product_name` LIKE '%$searchstring%' "; break; I change this to 1 letter to get it to work. I tried to use a different keyword parameter e.g. keyword3 but I couldn't get it to work but this would be a "nicer" way to do it rather than hook in to the already used parameter. Perhaps someone can achieve this? So in classes/ps_main.php around the line 1260 change the if( $strlen > 2 ) {
to
if( $strlen > 0 ) {

Thank you for a very good module!
How i can to make az search for category?
Quite happy to hack it for you to provide by cat filtering.. if you pay my time of course..
Contact me via my contact page,
GJC
I have the same question that 'IndiaPhpExpert'. I want only filter by the current category and this module give me the results by all the categories.
Another question is: I can filter directly by subcategories.
If my questions can't be answered and somebody knows a similar module or component even if payment, thank you
Please tell me how can I do that when user click on the letter displayed immediately all the goods by default, but not only four first items.
You would need to get the current category and include this in the search string
This module always display result of all products from all categories, is there a way to show only search result from the current category only.

Joomla Versión 1.5.18
VirtueMart 1.1.5 stable

When I tried to install it, show me this message:
JFolder::create: Path not in open_basedir paths
Added to the download as mod_az_virtuemart_1.1.2.j15.ver0.4
Regards and thanks for the donation!
HOwever, it lacks the generation of the proper ItemId for Joomla.
Inserting
$parentmenu = JSite::getMenu()->getActive()->tree[0];
and changing URLS to
...."&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=".$parentmenu."'>"....
Do the trick
Thank!
// changed while running a function
$cart = $_SESSION["cart"];
$auth = $_SESSION["auth"];
$parentmenu = JSite::getMenu()->getActive()->tree[0];
?>
for($i="A";$i.$i." \n";
}
If your interested drop me a mail from the contact page..
