Hello.
I'm just experimenting with the nopAccelerate Search plugin on our site to see if it meets our needs and have a question about how I should be handling theming to make the presentation fit in with the rest of the site (which uses a paid theme).
So it looks like the plugin has added a number of views in Nop.Web\Views\SolrSearch (_CatalogSelectors, _FilterAttributeBox, _FilterCategoryBox, _FilterManufacturerBox, _FilterStockAvailabilityBox, _ProductBox, CategoryNavigation, Search, SearchTemplateLayout).
So usually with Nop I'd just copy these views into Nop.Web\Themes\MyThemeName\Views\SolrSearch and make any modifications to the views that are required to fit in with the theme. The site would then automatically use the views from the MyThemeName folder instead of the original views from the \Views\SolrSearch folder.
This approach doesn't seem to work with the nopAccelerate Search plugin so the only way I've been able to theme it is by making changes directly to the original views. This is obviously less than ideal since it only allows a single version of the views even though the site or sites may use multiple themes. I've also tried adding a MyThemeName folder in the \Views\SolrSearch folder to see if it'll pick up the customised views from there but without any luck.
Is this type of theming supported by the plugin or is it only possible to customise it by editing the original views?
Best regards, Pete.
