Joomla 1.0.15
Mambots option in module parameters are set to NO for all modules but all frontpage modules are loading in the search results page.
How can I prevent them from being loaded?

could you please elaborate you question? It's somewhat confusing. What do you mean by "all frontpage modules"?

I mean all modules that are loaded on the frontpage (home page of the web site).

Is your problem solved?

Hi sural98

I am not aware joomla has that option. But for search engine's you can give a commant by Robots(google it and see the options and ways). Robots is the file you will mention all the url which your not willing to display in search.

Thanks

I think he means that...well kinda hard to explain...Let's say I have a google search module on my home page. Plus, there are 3-4 modules on left and right columns, like, latest news, or something. When I type my keyword and hit the "Search" button it will open a new page with the search results in between 2 columns with modules. What if I want that search results page be all search results and don't want the modules on left and right columns to show. I mean to disable the modules on search results page.

The first thing you need to know is that modules can be displayed or hide when they are assigned to menu items. (ie if they have ItemId).

In case of search results, the search results are displayed without an item id. That is the reason why your modules are showing up on front page even if they are set to NO.

If you have some coding knowledge you can edit the com_search component and hard code the itemid.

Has anyone found a solution to this?

I have several modules and menu on my frontpage, and when I do search none of the modules show up on search page at all. It used to back 5 months ago. Since then I don't have this problem anymore. Maybe I fixed it, I don't know what I did, I forgot! Maybe it was fixed by itself... LOL But I will post it as soon as I remember what I did to solve this problem.

Choose a module and choose menu assignment and choose te option: Select Menu Item(s) from the List and choose menu pages. That way it will limit the module being shown on search pages. If you choose "All" than it will show up in search results page. So, you have too choose which pages the module should appear and which pages not. In short, try not using the "All" use the "Select Menu Item(s) from the List" instead and test the search results page. Let me know if it worked. By the way, don't forget about clearing the cache and stuff, they might confuse you.

Thank you so much for your replies. I found a similar solution to this issue. This is what I did

1. Go to Menu Manager and create a new Menu.
2. Create a new Menu Module and assign it to the Menu you have created. (Module Parameters>Menu Name). Keep this module NOT enabled.
3. Add a new menu item to your menu. Choose the Search menu Type for it. Save it.
4. After you have created the search menu type item, go to Menu Item's edit page and copy the Link.
5. Paste this Link into the file /httpdocs/modules/mod_search/tmpl/default.php

line 3, replace:
<form action="index.php" method="post">

with this

<form action="menu_item_copied_link" method="post">

It's working ok till now and I am very pleased with that. Thank you again

Guys,

I've created a movie explaining the process of hiding modules on search page. It's an swf file and following are the links-

You need to really excuse me 'cos the movie doesn't have an audio. (I don't have a mic. to record).

cheers,

Thanks a bunch ktsixit, this saved my butt to finish a project and thought it was the Template I was working with...

I need to do the opposite: I want to display selected modules in the search results page.

I have created a menu item (on a menu that I am not using) of type search, and in module manager I have assigned certain modules to load on that page, but nothing is showing in the results page, besides the hardcoded stuff on my template.

me too! cheers :-)

In Joomla 1.5.11, I opening controller.php found in >>components>com_search and replace line 67 from this:
...into this:

It works for me.. cheers

Thanks rubira, that works just fine

Thank you very much ktsixit. Works perfect!

Thank you rubira sooooo very much! That just saved me from a lot of work!!!

Thanks rubira work on 1.5.14
Can we have some kind of control on that... I find that totally crappy that an important core function like search cannot have more control, only with hacking.... Crap!

If I want certain module to appear?????

I see that aticles that appear in a directory when search and click appear outside the directory itself. I will prefer that they appear in context... Any idea....

URL of the article with the Joomla search:
http://www.editionzoneshockey.com/ezh/i ... is&lang=fr

URL of the article in the directory:
http://www.editionzoneshockey.com/ezh/i ... 37&lang=fr

Just want to add my thanks to rubira. Worked for me (after clearing cache) so I'm very happy

It works for me.. cheers

Unfortunately, this solution completely trims out those modules appearing in selected categories.

I used the "menu method" for the standard joomla search and it worked fine.

Is there a chance i somehow can eliminate such modules using Custom Properties Search and Pix Search, because the "menu method' is not working with this search modules.

you don't need to do all that
Edit the third line of this file joomla\modules\mod_search\tmpl\default.php
this
<form action="index.php" method="post">

into this
<form action="index.php?option=com_search" method="post">

the above is true for joomla 1.5.x

I have this issue in 1.5.2
I've tried beipink's solutiion and the one posted above and the code on the higher up post here is not the same as mine. Still looking for a solution.

I have the same problem. Can not find the solution and it stopped my project
sural98, did you find the way to deal with that? Please help.

in my case I had the newsflash being called onto the home page in the top position. It was enabled only for Home, but was showing in search. I removed newsflash and disabled it, just organized the front page differently.

I see.
I need to load some modules to search page as now it appears only with the search results.

Go to the file:
joomla\modules\mod_search\tmpl\default.php

Change: to: It works for me...

I tried almost all solutions mentioned above, only rubira's works for my site. 1.5.12. Thanks a lot!
