[Snippet] FlexSearchForm. Modified to hide private docs and add weblink feature.#

Update 05//02/2007: Fixed two problems whereby php complained that a function was being declared twice or didn't exist.

Update 11/07/2006: I've replaced the attached zip file with 3 new ones - a zip, a gzip and a txt - because people were having problems unzipping the original.

Hi all.

I've modified the FlexSearchForm snippet to support the following:

[list]
• Access control, i.e. hide private documents if the user doesn't have permission to view them. This functionality uses code lifted from the MODx getDocumentObject method in document.parser.class.inc.php.

• Added better support for weblinks.

[/list]

The new parameters are as follows:

&useWeblink - [ true | false ] If true and the doc is of type 'reference', link to the doc's weblink (it's 'content' field) rather than to the doc itself. Defaults to false.

&weblinkClass - [ string ] CSS class for a weblink's anchor. Defaults to "weblink".

Note that the code I modified was that of MadeMyDay's (posted on the MODx forums at http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,2762.0.html) which added support for showing an extract of the context with highlighted search terms. The display of content extracts makes it particularly important to prevent private documents being listed to those without permission to view them.

Hi

Thanks for sharing, but the zip seems to corrupt when i download it, is it a problem for anyone else?

Just tried downloading and unzipping. Worked fine for me. Can you try a different zip program?

no joy for me with winrar or winxp's own zip uncompress thing, i'll PM you my email address.

Same error with me. I´m using 7-zip.

Opens ok with winrar though..

Doze, can you post the snippet code here? I still can´t open the file...

Thx.

Done. See original post.

Thanks guys. Now I can view the snippet (only the txt). But after changing the snippet code, the following error ocurrs:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare preparesearchcontent() (previously declared in C:\Apache2\htdocs\manager\includes\document.parser.class.inc.php(705) : eval()'d code:466) in C:\Apache2\htdocs\manager\includes\document.parser.class.inc.php(705) : eval()'d code on line 475

How to correct this?

Function PrepareSearchContent is being declared (aka defined) twice. Are you using two different versions of the FlexSearchForm at the same time?
