SimpleSearch: Passing Parent Name

708 Posts

Revo 2.5.2

I have a picker that displays 3 top-level (folder) options: Folder A (id 2), Folder B (id 3) and Folder C (id 4) respectively.

<select data-placeholder="Search..." name="parent" id="parent">
<option></option>
[[!getResources?
	&parents=`0`
	&tpl=`Search Option`
	&where=`{"isfolder:=":"1"}`
	&sortby=`alias`
	&sortdir=`ASC`
	&depth=`0`
	&includeContent=`1`
]]
</select>

<option[[!getReqParam:is=`[[+id]]`:then=`selected="selected"`:else=``? &name=`parent`]] value="[[+id]]">[[+pagetitle]]</option>

The search results (or lack thereof) are shown on a different resource. For no (empty) results the sisea.no_results message returns this:

<p>The term [[+query]] can’t be found.</p>

It works fine.

To this message I would like to pass the name of the resource selected in the picker, e.g. Folder C.

I've tried UltimateParent, getResourceField and rootResource without luck.

Did any of the things you tried return the ID of the selected folder?

No id, no nothing.

If I'm understanding you, you have a form where the user selects the search term, and a snippet that processes the results on a separate page.

On that second page, you should be able to capture the Name from the $_POST or $_GET array (depending on the method in the form tab).

If the form method is get, is there anything to identify the parent in the URL of the second page?

Correct, the results are processed on a different page.

Yes, the form method is get and yes the parent id is part of the results page url. For example, if I search Folder A (id 2) for the term "modx" here's the (partial) url:

?parent=2&search=modx&id=21

Here's the entire search form:

<form action="[[~[[+landing:default=`[[*id]]`]]]]" method="[[+method:default=`get`]]">
	<fieldset>
		<select data-placeholder="Search..." name="parent" id="parent">
			<option></option>
[[!getResources?
	&parents=`0`
	&tpl=`Search Option`
	&where=`{"isfolder:=":"1"}`
	&sortby=`alias`
	&sortdir=`ASC`
	&depth=`0`
	&includeContent=`1`
]]
		</select>
		<input type="text" name="[[+searchIndex]]" id="[[+searchIndex]]" value="[[+searchValue]]">
		<input type="hidden" name="id" value="[[+landing:default=[[*id]]]]">
		<input type="submit" value="[[%sisea.search? &namespace=`sisea` &topic=`default`]]">
	</fieldset>
</form>

Try this on the second page:

Put this where you want the pagetitle:

[[!GetTitle]

Then create a GetTitle snippet with this code:

<?php
$fields = array('name' => 'id');
$docId = (int) $modx->runSnippet('getUrlParam', $fields);

$query = $modx->newQuery('modResource', $docId);
$query->select('pagetitle');
return $modx->getValue($query->prepare());

There is a tiny security issue here. A user can get the pagetitle of any page by manually altering the id in the URL, but I can't see much potential harm there. They can also get a list of links under any parent (including 0). If that's a problem, you can check the ID and forward them to the home page if it's not legit.

Using the code above the results page is completely blank (white).

Hmmm... now it returns the id of the results page, not the name of the selected folder being searched.

Coincidently this is also the same result I got with UltimateParent, getResourceField and rootResource. [ed. note: todd.b last edited this post 9 years, 9 months ago.]

Try:

$fields = array('name' => 'parent');
