Has anyone created a thumb_list product in menu navigation?

JoAnne Low (741)

I have created a menu navigation that creates a thumb_list of products with a filter category such as Sale. This is working fine on the menu however when someone uses the search and it returns with an empty match, it breaks the page. Any of you with more experience with Neto have any ideas?

B@SE tags can need some black magic to work! This could take a bit of experimenting, but the first thing I'd try is adding ignore_keywords:'1' to the thumb_list:

[%thumb_list type:'products' template:'' filter_category:'153' ignore_keywords:'1' limit:'7'%]

 

All thumb lists on the page inherit the current context you're in - things like the current content type (product, article, etc), the category and any search terms. You're correctly overriding the content type and category, but not instructing thumb_list to ignore the current search keywords. So it's automatically filtering by those keywords and hence not returning any products.
