Any way of getting this module for Joomla 1.5 without activating the Legacy mode?

Greetings.

So I decided not to invest the effort to make this plugable as I am no longer interested in supporting Joomla projects, but I did validate the hack for Joomla 1.5.23 and updated the component model and content search plugin to exclude other search plugins that might get called and appended to your section search.

Just extract the archive to your site root and you should be good to go.

What version of Joomla are you using? Did you set a section search ID in the module?

Could you add print_r($row); on line 188 and tell me what you get?

It's

Code: Select all

print_r($row);
not

Code: Select all

$print_r($row);
. You should see the output in your browser when you search using your section search module. It should be some sort of Joomla content/article object.

I've only tested this for Joomla 1.5.23 - but I doubt a minor version change would make a difference. Do you have articles related to section 1?

If

Code: Select all

print_r($row);
doesn't give you any output then just add
exit;
on the next line. That should give you a blank page when you search. Then at least we know the code is being called.

That doesn't sound right. Could you post your plugins/search/content.php file?

Hm, the file looks right. I'll have to do a fresh install of 1.5.24 to try to duplicate the problem you are having. Probably wont get to it till the end of the week, though.

I allso tried to implement to limit search by category. And it all went without problem.
Now I have option of limiting search by categories or sections... Yeeaj!!! 8)
If you need solution, see my attached file (it is tested on Joomla 1.5.10!!!!!)

Yekibud thanks again!!!
Hi.

It works fine, but when you do a second search with the searchbox on the resultpage (not the module), he searches the complete site again. The parameter section_id is shown in the url, but the value remains empty.

How can be fixed?

@macastillo:

Glad to hear it's working for you (at least on the first search). That's how it works for me, too. It's probably just not a popular feature on my site, since nobody has complained for two years. But, it's still a bug, so I should probably fix it. I'll see if I can at least take a peak at it in the next couple days.

What version of Joomla are you using, btw?

People usually don't complain, just says at their mind "this doesn't work..." ;-)

I'm using Joomla v1.5.17. I don't know about PHP... I was a programmer 15 years ago, so I can read code but I can't fix it :-(

I also tried with hidding searchForm, but it only shows the results, not how many results do you have (if you have 0 results, it only shows an empty page).

Regards.
