AjaxSearch, parameters and upgrade to next version(s)

Hi there,

I must edit many parameters in the AjaxSearch snippet. Sometime there is a modx upgrade with a newer version of AjaxSearch. When I upgrade after this I must edit all the parameters in AjaxSearch again, right? Or I have AjaxSearch in a multi-language site with texts included in parameters in more than one language. Must I have this snippet multiple with parameters for each language?

Shouldn’t be there a chance to edit parameters outside the snippet? With saving this parameters in the database? Or am I wrong and have misunderstood AjaxSearch?

You’re confused as to how it works i think. Do not modify the parameters in the code, but reference them in the calls you make to the snippet in your pages. Upgrades don’t touch those.

Confused a bit more now
If I’m right I can call parameters like &showMoreResults or &addJscript with the snippet for instance


But how I should call parameters like $searchButtonText, $paginationTextMultiplePages and so on? As I said above I work on a multi-language site (de/en) and need to have all texts in both languages. As I read about AjaxSearch 1.5 this version can handle dependencies on the manager interface language. But that’s not a solution because it’s only one language and where I can get the other?
confused, confused

rasc,
in version 1.5 the other language files still need to be created. I however only know English (at one point I had a decent grasp of Spanish, but its been too long). So if other people start translating the language file that is include with 1.5 I will include them. I think once 0.9.6 is out and 1.5 is included people will start getting all of it translated.

Hi kylej, you can grab the german language file here saved as txt.

But how I can handle AjaxSearch in a single website with two document trees in "de" and "en"?
The web site I build up this time has two "master" folders in the root (de and en) including a tv that determines the specific language for the tree. All child documents inside the trees check for needed language dependent parameters/content parts/whatsoever this tv and set accordingly the right pieces.
CAN AjaxSearch handle two languages in one single web site?

in the snippet call you can set the parameter &language

so for the German part you would have &language=`german`

and for the English part just have &language=`english`

if this parameter is not specified it gets the language specified in the manager and looks to see if the file exists for that language.

Great, will give it a try. Tnx for your work and help.
