Set random Home but Search is random

  • Hi,
    I have problem with search result. It’s random following the index.php code.
    Here the frontpage (home):

    <div class="smart_content" align="center">
<?php query_posts(array('orderby' => 'rand')); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php include TEMPLATEPATH.'/product.php'; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?><div class="clear"></div>
<?php { wp_pagenavi(); } ?>
      <?php else : ?>
	<h2>Not Found</h2>
	<div class="bodycontent">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</div>
      <?php endif; ?>
</div>

    The search result is random.
    I’ve input
    <?php if (is_search()) { $posts = query_posts( $query_string . '&orderby=title&order=asc' ); } ?>
    before the random query but not work.

    How I split the query for the “home” and “search result” ?

  • I think you have to add wp_reset_query(); after the loop.

    For example:

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
               <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
               <!-- do stuff ... -->
               <?php endwhile; ?>
     <?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

    This will probably solve your issue.

    <?php query_posts(array('orderby' => 'rand')); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<!-- do stuff ... -->
      <?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
<?php if (is_search()) { $posts = query_posts( $query_string . '&orderby=title&order=asc' ); } ?>

    I’ve add this, but still random result in search. Can you explain where to put `<?php query_posts(array(‘orderby’ => ‘rand’)); ?> and <?php if (is_search()) { $posts = query_posts( $query_string . ‘&orderby=title&order=asc’ ); } ?>

    Oh, I’m afraid I didn’t understand you. If you want to select at random, except for the search-page you’d have to put it like this:

    <?php 

if(is_search()){
	// search query
	query_posts('orderby=title&order=asc');
} else {
	// others query
	query_posts('orderby=rand');
}

?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<!-- do stuff ... -->

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
