Search API using Views with Fields instead of Rendered entity

This question was asked before and was not answered so I am bringing it up again in the event any progress has been made since the original post about a year ago. KC used a rendered entity to display the product details. However, I want to use Fields for a number of reasons. Anyway, It seems I can get all of the product information except images. I have included a field_product relationship as well and still can't get images to be displayed by the view. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks. Kevin

I've just run into the same thing. On my CK install it seems that nothing is available from product variants when using fields - are you able to access other variant fields?

Will post back if I come across a solution...

I notice that it works fine with Commerce Kickstart. But it does not work with Commerce module by itself. So I guess CK is adding a module or something is configured differently. If you create a relationship with indexed node field_product and then add the field product_image it will display the images in Kickstart but not just Commerce. I guess I have no choice to go through all of the modules and configurations in Kickstart to try to find where the issue is. I will let you know what I find. Please do the same if you get it figured out too. Cheers Kevin

I notice that price field does not display data either. Is that the same for you DNZ?

Spent a little time on this today - seems I modified the search on the CK install I was working on and could no longer access variant details. Reverted it and things got a bit better.

I can get to the name of the image, but not a styled/rendered version - would have to do that through theming. You seem to be able to get a rendered & styled image from a variant? Currently I can only get rendered images that belong to the node, I've tried the relationship with indexed node field_product and it made no difference.

I can get to the pricing of the first variant: Product » Price: Amount (decimal) (indexed) (Amount (decimal) (indexed)). I believe this is related to the "Search API ranges (Min): field_product_commerce_price_amount_decimal_as" in the search index at admin/config/search/search_api/index/product_display/fields

You any further along?

Hi,

No solution yet on my side. I am guessing this is a bug in search API or commerce search API. I have opened an issue but have not had a response yet. Perhaps you can go there and comment that you are experiencing same problem. Hopefully others with same issue will escalate the issue priority. Here they are https://drupal.org/node/2193771 and https://drupal.org/node/2193767. Please make some noise there as well. Cheers. Kevin

Many thanks for posting back! Looks like entity version 1.3 is in Kickstart at the moment, good to know how to work around that.
