Ajax Search not searching MaxiGallery (image gallery items)

18 Posts

tabor.carlton Reply #1, 17 years ago

It states in the wiki that the Ajax search (I am using it in non-Ajax mode) will:

Search in title, description of images of maxigallery. Display the images found as search results with a link to the image in the gallery

I don’t know if I have something incorrect in my search snippet listed on my results page:

[!AjaxSearch? &ajaxSearch=`0` &AS_showForm=`0`!]

or if I am missing a parameter in my gallery. I have the page that the gallery is on searchable and published. Any ideas out there?

For a search only in maxigallery:

[!AjaxSearch? &ajaxSearch=`0` &AS_showForm=`0` &whereSearch=`content:null|maxigallery` &tplResult=`withMaxigalleryResult`!]

If you want a search in documents (content,tv) AND maxigallery:

[!AjaxSearch? &ajaxSearch=`0` &AS_showForm=`0` &whereSearch=`content|tv|maxigallery` &tplResult=`withMaxigalleryResult`!]

Notice the difference in the &whereSearch parameter wink

With withMaxigalleryResult chunk:

<div class="[+as.resultClass+]">
  <a class="[+as.resultLinkClass+]" href="[+as.resultLink+]" title="[+as.longtitle+]">[+as.pagetitle+]</a>
[+as.descriptionShow:is=`1`:then=`
  <span class="[+as.descriptionClass+]">[+as.description+]</span>
`+]
[+as.gal_idShow:is=`1`:then=`
  <br />[!MaxiGallery? &pic_query_ids=`[+as.gal_id+]` &galleryPictureTpl=`subSearchGalleryPictureTpl`!] 
`+]<br />
[+as.extractShow:is=`1`:then=`
  <div class="[+as.extractClass+]"><p>[+as.extract+]</p></div>
`+]
[+as.breadcrumbsShow:is=`1`:then=`
  <span class="[+as.breadcrumbsClass+]">[+as.breadcrumbs+]</span>
`+]
</div>

Notice the embedded Maxigallery snippet call to display the image

[!MaxiGallery? &pic_query_ids=`[+as.gal_id+]` &galleryPictureTpl=`subSearchGalleryPictureTpl`!]

In this example I have redefine the galleryPictureTpl template too.

See the With Maxigallery and Jot demo (ajax mode) as example.

Thanks for the reply coroico,

Search is working, but the image is not being shown in the search results - just a link to the image gallery in which the image lives.

I don’t have a chunk called subSearchGalleryPictureTpl (as below in the code) - is this a default template or a custom chunk?

[+as.gal_idShow:is=`1`:then=`
  <br />[!MaxiGallery? &pic_query_ids=`[+as.gal_id+]` &galleryPictureTpl=`subSearchGalleryPictureTpl`!] 
`+]<br />

You’re right coroico,

This chunk IS provided by maxiGallery - I cleared cache after trying both as &tpl but neither worked. I’m going to review the wiki again and see if I’m missing something, but everything but the image is showing up... got me puzzled.

Thanks for your help, I’ll post back when and if I can uncover something.

Regarding the displaying of Maxigallery thumbnails, I have set up a new demo on the AS demo site. See: http://www.modx.wangba.fr/index.php?id=379

And may be see this related post: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,46257.msg272820.html#msg272820
