A new version released today with all bugs in IE fixed. If you have an old version please download mod_virtuemart_live_product_1.1.2.j15.v0.6.zip and replace the previous one. (uninstall/re-install) Added an option added in the backend to input the folder for url-redirect if your installation is not in the root. The language string for no results has to be changed as well. See below.  A simple module for live VirtueMart product searches. This is based on the excellent mod_pixsearch live search module designed by Henrik Hussfelt You can try it here - Demo ... and download it here - Download How it works -
Installation -
Configuration -
Fine tuning if a non-standard VirtueMart Browse template is used. The module uses Javascript to extract the product names and urls from the returned search results. If you have changed the standard distributed templates the Javascript needs to know in which elements it has to look for this information. To do this you need to look at the source code of a returned search result and find which element is unique to the product name. ExampleDo a normal VirtueMart search in your shop for a search phrase that will return more than one result. Then display the source code of the results page and find the first product title. In this example it is contained within a h3 tag. So that is the element we would insert in the "Other Template Element" field. Code extract
<td><div class="browseProductContainer"> <div class="jamod module"><div><div><div> <h3 style="border-bottom: none;padding:10px 10px 0px 10px;text-align:center;min-height:30px"> <a style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;text-decoration:none;" href="/Piatnik-Deutschland/Spiele-fur-Familien-Freundeskreis/ab-4-Jahren/Activity-Kinder.html?keyword=kinder"><b>Activity Kinder</b></a> </h3> <p style="height:53px"> <span class="productPrice"> EUR 18,89 inkl. 19 % MwSt. </span> etc etc ..... UpdatesPaypal Donation
Version 0.4 Better handling of no result - now the "no result" message is displayed in the results box Version 0.5 Now able to select via the back-end whether you want to search only for "Product Names" or "Product Names, Descriptions and Categories". Version 0.6 All bugs in Internet Explorer fixed. Option to add non-root installation folder. If you have any comments, suggestions or need any help please leave a comment below. If you use it on a commercial site (if it's Virtuemart I guess it's got to be commercial  ) please leave a small donation. Thanks.

Thanks!!!
You download FREE software that has a long and proven history, i.e. that WORKS but then because of some sort of conflict on YOUR COMMERCIAL site you would like me to spend MY time helping you fix it for free..
ha ha.. when you start giving away your products for free I will start giving you my time for free..
Can you help me
It's not a case of fixing, it's doing exactly as it's designed to...
If you give send me an email from my contact page I will see if I can send you a version where this behaviour is switch-able..
Cheers
I am also having the problem with the redirect, otherwise I love the module. It is automatically jumping to the search results page before I hit enter or click submit.
My website is: www.supplementcave.com
I currently have the module on the left hand side of the page in the bottom location (for testing). If we can get it fices, I will move it to the top and make a donation to your site.
Thanks!
If you contact us by the contact page with full details we can have a look..
When I try to use the search, I type 3 or more characters inside the search box, the "loadingcircle.gif" is rotating and finds the results if any (small detail: when I click inside the search box the "Search... 3 letters min" disappears and I start typing).
After a while (I haven’t find out when – it seems randomly) the search stops to work. The "Search... 3 letters min" does not disappear when I click inside the box (so I have to delete it and afterwards to write what I want), the "loadingcircle.gif" does not appear, and after pressing the Enter (keyboard button) or click the search button my site's home page is displayed.
If I go at the Module Manager (joomla backend), disable the mod_vm_live_product and enable the mod_virtuemart_search, and then enable the mod_vm_live_product and disable the mod_virtuemart_search, sometimes it works (until it stops again)
The same behavior is both at Internet Explorer 8 and Mozilla Firefox 3.6.2.
Especially at IE I get the following error:

When the search is returning more than 1 result, the data are not displayed ... what should I do?
I've already downloaded ur module and it's great.
I want to place it at the top, just like your website. Can you explained me how to do that? or maybe a link that discuss about that.
thank you.
GJC (Admin)
The module works fine for my default language 'dutch' but not for other countries.
For example:
I have a category "Omslagen" which is translated by Joomfish to "Enveloppes" in French. When I have choosen the French language for my site and type 'enve' in the search module it does'nt find any records. When I type 'omsl' in the dutch site it returns all the products.
I am using Joomla 1.5.14, Virtuemart 1.1.3, Joomfish 2.0 and the latest version of VM_LIVE_PRODUCT_SEARCH.
Can somebody help me please?
If you want you can mail me via the Contact page.
Try it here on the site, the results are identical with AJAX or "Enter"
Email me via the contact page with details....
This is a great module but if a user enters a keyword and then return/enter or the search button before the results are displayed it displays returns results by reverting to the 'standard' search...
Is there anyway to change this so that the button or return gives the same result??
If I can do this I am happy to donate becuase it's a great module... but without this ability my client does not want to use it as he wants 'consitent' results. Thanks
any ideas?
I yesterday set your module of living search for Joomla.For me Joomla of version is set 1.5.14 and Virtuemart of version 1.1.3.
A situation consists in the following:
When I enter in the field of search for example "Nokia" that Your module finds automatically, that in my catalogue there is a commodity, which is named as "Nokia" and shows that one product is found, although commodities with the name of "Nokia" at least about 5.
How to do so, that when I enter a searching word and search finds accordance, for example two products, represented so, that is found two products, but in any way not one, but if it is found five, represented, that is found five. The question is now not about searching results, but about inscription in a pop-up window, which does not change and if that is found, it always shows that one product is found.
It is necessary to notice that when a page appears already with the results of search, there all is represented right, and all found commodities are present.
The second problem consists in that when I edit the CSS file and propose necessary me position of the module of search, both all is represented right, but as soon as I produce the first search or the module of search is displaced a bit upwards and to the right. But after a subsequent search, position does not change.
If you are not heavy, prompt me that is responsible for CSS of searching line and button of search, when man-hunted information. How to set position of the module in the static mode, I understood, bringing in small changes in CSS file and equalizing the line of search and button of search in one row.
If necessary, I can deport you the proper pravlenye by me files. With kind regards, Andrey!
but I have a problem with translating. when I click on advance search, there is a new page with English text (
Advanced Search according to Parameters
You can further refine your search by adding...) how can I translate this?? any help
here in this module i want to change the length of the search box.
how can i change it .
which file i need to modify...
please help me...........urgent
Sorry, but after nearly 1,500 downloads and 1 donation if you would like further help then the donation button is above.

When I type (min 3 chars), it redirecting to base root ( in this case I'm using xampp as localserver).
with the clue from Mukesh, I do some modification:
1. go to modules/mod_vm_live_product/js/vmliveproducts.js
2. in line 58 found:
var requrl = "/index.php?keyword1="+$('vmlp_search_str').value+"&Search=Search&Itemid=1&option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&search_limiter="+(_searchBy);
and change into
var requrl = "index.php?keyword1="+$('vmlp_search_str').value+"&Search=Search&Itemid=1&option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&search_limiter="+(_searchBy);
and the redirecting is perfectly ( not going to base root anymore)
Thanks for nice module (I just started learn with Virtuemart)
There is a problem and I'm nearly finished a new version that will be error free.
Just having a lot of problems detecting the "no result" in IE, as soon as that is solved I will release it.
I encounter a problem when i use IE8 to search, it show nothing or no result at all...
the error message like this:

Can anyone figure it out what is the happen? is it mootool conflict with this?
This is simple workaround
steps 1 :- go to the module directory in my case it was C:\wamp\www\joomla\modules\mod_vm_live_product\js
step 2:- you will find a js file vmliveproduct.js ,now go to the line where it says
var requrl = "/index.php?keyword1="+$('vmlp_search_str').value+"&Search=Search&Itemid=1&option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&search_limiter="+(_searchBy);
now here simply change the url to
var requrl = "/joomla/index.php?keyword1="+$('vmlp_search_str').value+"&Search=Search&Itemid=1&option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&search_limiter="+(_searchBy);
you will see that i have added joomla to the path thats becoz this is my root folder .. so simple you just have add your root folder name
Thats it .
Please note that this is only for those who is having the redirect problem ...
Have a nice day
All goes well when you work well
Can we move this conversation to email as this isn't an ideal way to talk..
Please mail me via the contact page so I can help you..
How can I manage that?
I only have 1 issue right now.
1. When you punch in words nothing happens. No redirections or anything. But when you punch enter it all work as it should.
Try it out on www.helseform.dk/butik
Thanks again
just copy one of the supplied language files, e.g. en-GB.mod_vm_live_product.ini (utf - without BOM), translate it into Danish and rename it dk-DK.mod_vm_live_product.ini.
Then ftp it to your language/dk-DK folder.
Please leave a review on Joomla extensions as payback..
Thanks very much!
That's the least of your worries, the search doesn't work....
Re the whitespace..
My div is surrounded by 5 other divs all with styling before you get to mine
mod-default
module default
module-2
module-3
module-4 deepest
form name pp_search
vmlpsearch
For why it doesn't work my first guess would be a javascript conflict.
There is a lot in your page, try disabling some until it starts to work...
For some reason I'm getting to much white space under the module :
http://www.loveandwisdom.net/shop.html
Any ideas?
Thanks
My module is not at this address...
Hi, can you give me the url of your site so I can have a look.....
Also have you got the latest version?
0.5?
GJC
love the search mod. but...
have installed the mod. & edited lang. file but when I type eg 'suit' i get no result and get automatically bumped back to the home page(and yes there are suits in the VM! lol)
standard VM search works fine however...
I'm using VM 1.1.3 & J! 1.5.10
any thought oh great ones?
cheers
Andrew
The good news is it does already if in the module parameters you've chosen the name, category and description option although I hadn't documented that.(Will now)
If you try in the VM Live Search above H02 you'll get the hammer (SKU is H02 in this case
Are you the same Ted that emailed me? I assume you got it working
There's already an AJAX search for 1.0.15 version out there, not as good as mine of course
Here's the link AJAX search for 1.0.15
Cheers
administrator/components/virtuemart/languages/shop needs to be update for the next section
'PHPSHOP_SEARCH_TEXT1' => 'De eerste drop-down lijst geeft u de mogelijkheid om een categorie te selecteren waarin u wilt zoeken.
Met de tweede drop-down lijst kunt u aangeven in welke productinformatie u wilt zoeken (bv. Naam).
Wanneer u een keuze genaakt
needs to be changed into gemaakt
Thanks for the comment.
If you've got the time a review to the Joomla Ext site would be nice
VirtueMart Live Product Search Review
Also I can't find the translation you refer to?
Only thing was the translation of the Extended search was wrong
genaakt should be gemaakt
thnks
Thanks
