Hi,

I am trying to make a search in sub classes of my ezp project.

I do add the following line in the search.tpl, ezfind fetch function section.

'class_id', array(38, 39, 40)

but it is not working.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advanced.

Actually my problem is that i have 3 main classes connected to 3 tpls. This part is being index well with the ezfind. The problem arises with 3 other sub-classes connected to another 3 tpls.

When i make a search all result for the 3 main classes are being return.

But not the 3 subclasses.

The 3 main tpls contain links to the sub tpls.

Can anyone help?

In this situation is the 'class_id', array(38, 39, 40) applicable

Thanks

You should also include the "sub-classes" in the class_id parameter. For example, like this:

'class_id', array(38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)

where 41, 42, 43 are the class ID's of your "sub-classes".

Dear Marko Zmak,

Thank you for the reply.

I have already tried the solution but it is not working.

I have made the changes in extension/ezfind/design/standard/templates/content/search.tpl and extension/ezfind/design/ezwebin/templates/content/search.tpl.

I am using the default ezwebin template.

Thanks

Few things to check:

  • see if all the classes you search for are set to be searchable
  • see if the attributes of the classes are set to be searchable
  • does the anonymous have the permissions to read all the classes (can you open the objects of this classes in frontend?)
  • are the nodes of this "sub-classes" maybe hidden?
  • are the objects of the "sub-classes" really indexed in ezfind? (do you get them in the search results when doing search in the admin interface?)

And you should make changes only in extension/ezfind/design/ezwebin/templates/content/search.tpl, but first check if this is really the template that is used.

Ok Marko Zmak,

It is now working fine. Except for telephone number. Generally telephone number contains spaces. So with space it do not return the result.

If i remove the space it work fine.

Can you please tell me, how i can modify the tpl to use space?

I don't quite understand your question about the spaces.

Could you clarify a little bit what exactly is the problem with the spaces?

The telephone number with space it does not work.

For example telephone number like 476264726, is OK but like 47 62 64 726. Not ok

I have tried to make some modification with this function in serach.tpl but it does not work.

function ezfTrim( str ) { return str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '') ; }

Can you please help?

Thanks
