I would really appreciate if someone could help me on this; it’s my first post on the MODx board
.
I am trying to create a simple advanced search box with options to search either in the Page Title or by keyword (all content fields). I tried going to the demo site to see the examples, but the links to the config files seem to be down. I also don’t want to mess with the Ajax Search snippet itself or put my own PHP code in because I want to keep it easily upgradeable.
Here is what I have so far:
AjaxSearch Call:
[!AjaxSearch? &ajaxSearch=`1` &clearDefault=`1` &advSearch=`allwords` &showIntro=`0` &addJscript=`0` &jscript=`mootools2` &ajaxMax=`3` &pagingType=`1` &landingPage=`2297` &moreResultsPage=`2297` &asLog=`1:1:500` &parents=`176` &tplInput=`search_layout_advanced` &config=`product` !]
AjaxSearch input template (search_layout_advanced)
[+as.showInputForm:is=`1`:then=`
<form id="[+as.formId+]" action="[+as.formAction+]" method="post">
<fieldset class="inputAS">[+as.showAsId:is=`1`:then=`<input type="hidden" name="[+as.asName+]" value="[+as.asId+]" />`+]
<input type="hidden" name="advsearch" value="[+as.advSearch+]" />
<input type="hidden" name="searchField" value="content" />
<div class="radio">
<input id="pagetitle" type="radio" name="searchField" value="content:pagetitle" /><label for="pagetitle">Search by Page Title</label>
<input id="content" type="radio" name="searchField" value="content" /><label for="content">Search by Keyword</label>
</div>
<div id="[+as.radioId+]">
<input id="[+as.onewordId+]" type="radio" name="advsearch" value="[+as.oneword+]" [+as.onewordChecked+] /><label for="[+as.onewordId+]">[+as.onewordText+]</label>
<input id="[+as.allwordsId+]" type="radio" name="advsearch" value="[+as.allwords+]" [+as.allwordsChecked+] /><label for="[+as.allwordsId+]">[+as.allwordsText+]</label>
<input id="[+as.exactphraseId+]" type="radio" name="advsearch" value="[+as.exactphrase+]" [+as.exactphraseChecked+] /><label for="[+as.exactphraseId+]">[+as.exactphraseText+]</label>
<input id="[+as.nowordsId+]" type="radio" name="advsearch" value="[+as.nowords+]" [+as.nowordsChecked+] /><label for="[+as.nowordsId+]">[+as.nowordsText+]</label>
</div>
<label>
<input id="[+as.inputId+]"class="cleardefault" type="text" name="search" value="[+as.inputValue+]"[+as.inputOptions+] />
</label>
[+as.liveSearch:is=`0`:then=`
<label>
<input id="[+as.submitId+]" type="submit" name="sub" value="[+as.submitText+]" />
</label>
`+] </fieldset>
</form>
`+]
[+as.showIntro:is=`1`:then=`
<p class="ajaxSearch_intro" id="ajaxSearch_intro">[+as.introMessage+]</p>
`+]
And, finally, my config file (product.config.php):
<?php
/*
* categConfig : To define the display of categories (output)
* Add a category as a switch item. 'uncategorized' item describe the results outside of any category
* Add a switch for a new site. The default site is named 'defsite'.
* Allowed config parameters : grpLabel, tplResult, tplAjaxResult, display, extract, rank ...
*/
function searchField($field){
$config = array();
$site = strtolower($field);
switch($field){
case 'pagetitle':
$config['whereSearch'] = 'content:pagetitle';
break;
case 'allfields':
$config['whereSearch'] = 'content:longtitle';
break;
default:
$config['whereSearch'] = 'content:pagetitle';
}
return $config;
}
?>
I’ve also tried it several other ways (having just functions as radio input values and creating two different functions, one for each option), but nothing seems to work. No matter what I do, I may as well pretend the radio buttons are not there. The search still works - it’s just not filtered.
It’s hard because I don’t have the example config files to follow off of (except ones to create categories in the output). I would really appreciate it if someone could answer as fast as possible, as the search needs to be up as fast as possible.
Thank you!
