search : Advanced option button appears if not on home page

Hello

you have not mentioned which FLEXIcontent version you are using

but yes this is fixed, because:

-- the search module now takes a menu item id parameter
and the target of the form is the SEF url of this menu item,
so this menu item configuration will be used, when performing a search via the module

Hi!

I'm using version "2.0.3 beta2 r1686" with J2.5.14

Perhaps we misunderstood because of the topic name. Here is what i met :

I create both a fc search menu item well configured (test below) and a fc search module linked to the menu item.

Hre is what i have if i use the menu link (or the "advanced search" link, under the search field) :

[attachment=2:308djje3]<!-- ia2 -->sok.jpg<!-- ia2 -->[/attachment:308djje3]

Here all is ok, i have 15 results, wich are in the right category.

Now, if i use the module :

[attachment=1:308djje3]<!-- ia1 -->asnok.jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:308djje3]

i make the same research, i obtain :

[attachment=0:308djje3]<!-- ia0 -->snok.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:308djje3]

As you can see, i know have 76 results, and some are not from the right category... and advanced options checkbox, that i don't want, has appeared...

What can you advice me?

Thank you!

Hello

please backup and use:
v2.1.0 r1763

code.google.com/p/flexicontent/downloads

Hi and thank you!

I just upgrate to v2.1.0 r1763

And it's much better : Now, the result of a search via module looks like the one with the menu item search: advanced Options can be hidden, filter are well displayed... great!

However, i still encounter some problems

1. The results aren't the same : when i look for "test" with the module, i found 76 results, in different categories, whereas i only want the results of ONE category, which is selected in the menu item parameters (this one works well, and give me 15 results).

2. The display of result isn't as defined in the menu item : for exemple 'fc_search_result_fields' aren't displayed...

(for information, i created a new search item and search module after installing new version of FC).

please (in field configuration) also check alternative appearance e.g. (multi-toggle button= checkboxes or date picker range for date field etc ...)

but search menu item has no option to limit search to a specific category, so you need to explain this, is this is menu item a search menu item or is not? (search module has a parameter to use the configuration of search menu item= this menu item gets ACTIVATED when user clicks search button in the search module)

the information included in the results list of the search, is configured in the SEARCH menu item, and you can also include custom fields,
so what do you meant with this?

In fact, the only filter i use is categories and type of content. Nothing to add, then, i think...?

Yes, you are right : it's a FC search menu item (index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view=search), and the filter i apply is on the TYPE (not the CATEGORY, my mistake). And the FC search module (mod_flexiadvsearch) is well linked to the fc search menu with the ID of this item (Custom menu itemid)...

2 screen captures to show what i mean :

Here is the result using the menu item link (url of the result page : www.mysite.fr/recherche-avancee?searchword=test ) :

[attachment=1:3j1l2sot]<!-- ia1 -->c1.jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:3j1l2sot]

And here the result if i use the search module (url of the result page : www.mysite.fr/recherche-avancee?searchword=test , the same, so):

[attachment=0:3j1l2sot]<!-- ia0 -->c2.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:3j1l2sot]

As you can see, both numbers of results and fields displayed are different...

best regards!

Hello

please test without the joomla template override
e.g. temporarily rename folder 'search' that contains the overridden files

Hi,

I just tried that (but the only file i modified was default_result.php) but without difference in the result...

By the way, you told me in mp (with an older version of FC "when you update to v2.0.2 ,please remember to go to Component Configuration and set this menu item id there !". That's what i done...

Does the fact that in the site there are 2 differents FC search menu items, and 2 FC search modules (each one linked to one FC menu item) can have a link to the problem?

Thanks

Hello

only if different menu items are activated

Hi,

Yes, i have 2 differents FC search menu items activated (=published)... is this a problem?
