[SOLVED] Need AjaxSearch results on separate page

saplingdesigns — Oct 11, 2013, 12:58 AM

Hi There. In Evo 1.0.8 using ajax search snippet and have followed the instructions on: http://modx.com/extras/package/ajaxsearch. I have created a landing page (resource) with the snippet call: [!AjaxSearch? &showInputForm=`0`&showResults=`1`&ajaxSearch=`1`!]

I also created a chunk for the Search and have the following there:

[!AjaxSearch? &showResults=`1` &landingPage=`20` &showMoreResults=`1` &moreResultsPage=`20`!]

When I do a test search it generates results, but it shows up on the same page instead of going to a separate page. For example, if I'm on the home page and do a search, the results show there and push everything down below the header. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I am a newbie so I'm still trying to figure out how all this works. Can someone please help me?

That worked! I'm very thankful for your help Sottwell . Any chance you could help me on a few other issues I am having?

You need to specify &showResults=`0` in the upper right snippet. I presume this is in your template.

This may prove useful, although I'm not sure if there are more recent versions available now.

Thank you Sottwell. I will try this.

To show the results in a separate page you need to turn the AJAX part of AjaxSearch off for the search form:
[!AjaxSearch? &ajaxSearch=`0` &landingPage=`20`!] 
Then on your landing page you need another AjaxSearch snippet call to process the search form's values and (optionally) not show the form again:
[!AjaxSearch? &ajaxSearch=`0` &showInputForm=`0`!]

Thank you Sottwell! This worked great for getting the results onto a second page. Unfortunately, now there are two sets of results showing up - one above and below the nav menu (see screenshot). Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
