Searchbox with suggestions

[VSG]

Thanks, that did the trick!

Now I just have to customize it to blend it in with the website as my standard-search ...
Great idea!

Thanks again and best regards,

One more question: is there a way to define a color for your suggestions? I can't seem to find it. Was able to define most of the colors though ...

Thanks in advance for any tip!
Best regards,

Hi,

the links use your standard link color from your css. If you want other color, you will have to style .suggestionList class

Very cool - is there any way to limit the suggestions to a certain sub dir:
e.g. for my multilingual site I use the search_path value as /en/ to limit the search to just my English section, and do the same with my Spanish /es/ etc

(More info here:

How would I go about limiting the suggestions in a similar fashion? Thanks in advance,

Hi,

try to replace

Code:

$query = $database->query("SELECT * FROM `".TABLE_PREFIX."pages` WHERE `page_title` LIKE '%$queryString%' LIMIT 20");
WITH
$query = $database->query("SELECT * FROM `".TABLE_PREFIX."pages` WHERE `language` = '".LANGUAGE."' `page_title` LIKE '%$queryString%' LIMIT 20");

in php file..

Thanks for your prompt response crnogorac081. Apologies in advance, I'm probably missing something obvious, but I can't seem to get that code to work.

I tried replacing the line you mentioned with the following:

Code:

$query = $database->query("SELECT * FROM `".TABLE_PREFIX."pages` WHERE `language` = '".LANGUAGE."' `page_title` LIKE '%$queryString%' LIMIT 20");

And it didn't work, so I thought maybe I have to specify the language, so I tried:

Code:

$query = $database->query("SELECT * FROM `".TABLE_PREFIX."pages` WHERE `FR` = '".LANGUAGE."' `page_title` LIKE '%$queryString%' LIMIT 20");

then tried:

Code:

$query = $database->query("SELECT * FROM `".TABLE_PREFIX."pages` WHERE `language` = '"FR"' `page_title` LIKE '%$queryString%' LIMIT 20");

then:

Code:

$query = $database->query("SELECT * FROM `".TABLE_PREFIX."pages` WHERE `language` = '".FR."' `page_title` LIKE '%$queryString%' LIMIT 20");

As you can tell I'm not a programmer =/, can you provide some assistance?

So I'm assuming there is no way to limit the suggestions based on the sub directory? I'll have to go through my multi-lang site and make sure each page has the correct specified language (in the meantime I've set a few sections to French... I have a fairly large site and was hoping there would be another way)

Thanks,
-Mike

Hi, create me a temp admin account and send me to PM, I will take a look

Hi,

I have this code in /search/search_convert.php to show special chars in local language in standard search, and it works ok.

Code:

$t["š"] = array("š", "s");
$t["s"] = array("š", "s");
$t["đ"] = array("đ", "dj");
$t["dj"] = array("đ", "dj");
$t["č"] = array("č", "c");
$t["c"] = array("č", "ć");
$t["ć"] = array("c", "ć");
$t["ž"] = array("ž", "z");
$t["z"] = array("ž", "z");

In search suggestion SQL I have this code which works ok :

Code:

$database->query("SELECT * FROM `".TABLE_PREFIX."pages` WHERE `page_title` LIKE '%$queryString%' LIMIT 20");

What I need is help to combine these two..could someone give me a hint or help ?

for example it title is: my name is saša , if I type both sasa or saša to work.

cheers,
Ivan
