Hi everybody, how're ya?!

one of my friends asked me to do a little hack on the search component to give the searchers the ability to select which section/category they'd like to search in, not just simply searching the whole site! So, I made this which does the job perfectly for Joomla 1 and Manbo4.5.2

I just wanted to share and know your idea about it!

hello bijan!

its nice to hear you made this! already posted a wishlist/request of this function to be incorporated with the core it self.. but the core mentioned that this would be integrated in future joomla release. this hack is very good for someone who needs this specific function while this is not yet available in the core.

i already downloaded the file and see how it runs.. any bugs i find... i'll le t you know via pm. if i run without a glitch.. i'll post it here on this thread. by the way,..

btw.. i'll be asking fellow global mods to transfer this thread to the the 3PD section of the forums which it is more appropriate than to be here in the custom development. NOT unless youre planning to release this under common creative licsense or commercial liscense.

Thanks for testing my sort of modification and I'm looking forward for any bug or ... No, I don't wana make it CC or Comercial, after all I only added some few lines, which would be nothing in comparision with the whole Joomla!

Cheers,

Well, if this is your picture, then you really do not need any effect my dear, you're WAAAAAAAAAAY beautiful!

I didn't make much changes, just putting those 2 relative combo boxes (selecting section/category) was a little bit hard at the beginning coz I had to find out how they actually made it and where's the JS and blah blah, but now that I figured it out it's very easy! I also added some WHERE conditions to the SQL queries which was very easy. And then I disabled all the mambots except the Contents mambot if the user is searching in a special section/category, coz he/she's interested in the contents not the user contacts and ... So, I only added one "if" condition at the beginning of all the mambots to return NULL if my user selected a section or category.

That's all, BTW I know this post was moved, thanks, I don't know why I didn't see this part of the forums while posting!

PS: I really didn't think anybody would read what I wrote, even though I tried to be clear, but sometimes I don't use some good language in my comments, so, forgive me for them if I forgot to delete anything!

Hi bijan,

I really appreciate your effort and I am glad you took the time to implement this feature.

For at no so technical person as myself, can you explain what to do if I want to have this feature shown on the frontpage together with the searchbox?

Like this - |All Sections|  |All Categorys|  |Search...|

Peter

Hey Peter, how're ya doin'?

I'm glad that you liked it. I don't quite seem to understand the situation, are you telling me that you wana have the 2 Sections/Category combo boxes shown in your front page below the search box? If this is the question that I should tell ya that you have to modify the Search module to show these stuff. And again if this is what you want tell me to take a look at it and see if I can be of any help. I'm not a Joomla developer myself, I mean I only know some basic stuff about how to make comonents and ... But I never actually wrote anything complete! If you know what I mean ;)

Well, not quite. I need to show the section/category options next to (as right in front of horizontally) the search box on the frontpage. Sure I have to modify the following code so that drop down boxes call the functions from the component but this is what I don't know how to do. If you got anny idea please let me know otherwise thanks for adding the feature to the Joomla! component.

Code:
<td><form action="index.php" method="post">
  <div align="center">
    <input class="inputbox" type="text" name="searchword" size="15" value="<?php echo _SEARCH_BOX; ?>"  onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='<?php echo _SEARCH_BOX; ?>';" onfocus="if(this.value=='<?php echo _SEARCH_BOX; ?>') this.value='';" />
    <input type="hidden" name="option" value="search" />
  </div>
</form>
</td>

Hi guys

While were around this one, what do you think of a new weighted search that attempts to provide the most likely sought matches----for example, by displaying text from titles and heading tags first (I guess in order of menu level and heading level). As far as I can fathom no one is doing this yet, not even the fancy 3pds. Took me a little by surprise, that one.

yes, it could be a good one. You can even write something to do match..against sort of search in mysql, which gives the most probable result, I think using match..against gonna be more elegant due to its algorithem

...a more immediate issue for this implementation, as far as I can tell it bypasses permissions, so guests for example can access sections which are meant to be restricted to registered users...unless I am doing something wrong?

..should be clearer: it only checks security on the items, not the access permission on the categories and sections. Pr maybe its the other way round.

Hi,
I am also looking to modify the search function so it can be refined by section, or category, or both.
Is this file mentioned above available, or does anyone know of something I could use?
Regards
Dave

ACLs change in 1.6...Not sure If simple condition would work for both versions. Might need to be more complex.
