Blank Search Results

axelheyst · 2006-10-18 04:25:25

So when I run a search I can get the:

[txp:search_result_count text=“Hits” /]

to return a number (i.e 4 or 5) but no search results appear on the form.

Here is the page: http://www.dumic.org

The search is on the left.

Here is some of my code on my default page in the TXP admin:

(The search part of the code is right after [div id=“righter”])

Thanks for any help!

Based off of this aricle, you can try:

<txp:if_search>
	<txp:article status="live" limit="0" pageby="1" />
	<h2>
			<txp:php>
			global $thispage;
			global $q;
				if ($thispage['total']==0) {
					echo 'No results were found for “'.$q.'”';
				}
				else {
					echo 'Search: '.$thispage['total'].' result(s) for “'.$q.'”';
				}
			</txp:php>
	</h2>
	<div id="content">
		<txp:article form="search_results" limit="999" />
	</div>
</txp:if_search>

Just tried that, still getting no results with a positive integer after the results counter.

Example

On a side note, how did you get HTML and TXP code to show up in your post. Thanks :)

To clarify, this is not a post about showing users some sort of “No Results Found” message. I actually am not getting any results to display when I run a search where it shows I HAVE results. (By “it shows” I mean using the [txp:search_result_count text=“Hits” /] tag).

Again, here is the code:

Thanks all!

I know, that was just the most accessible piece of working code (for me).

Things to try:

Put your site into debugging mode (Admin>Prefs) – do any errors come up?
I think that the <txp:if_article_list> before <txp:glx_if_search> is causing the problem. Move all the non-default templating to another template (copy), and move your standard HTML to forms to simplify and declutter.

page: default

<txp:output_form form="header" />
				<txp:if_search>
					<h1>Search Results</h1>
						<txp:search_result_count text=?Hits? />
						<txp:article form="search_results" /><!--does your default form have provisions for search results?-->
				</txp:if_search>
				<txp:glx_if_frontpage>
					<h1>Homepage</h1>
					<!--
					Consider using a sticky article: 
					http://textpattern.com/faq/84/how-do-i-keep-a-post-at-the-top-of-the-page
					-->
				</txp:glx_if_frontpage>
<txp:output_form form="footer" />

form: header

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

	<title><txp:ob1_title order="%article,%section,%sitename" separator=" | "/></title>
	<script src="/mint/mint.js.php" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="cont">
	<div id="main">
		<div id="header">
			<img src="/header_images/rotator.php"></img>
		</div>	
	<div id="textpattern_content">

				<!--consider using an unordered list <ul>, and perhaps <txp:linklist /> and <txp:section_list />-->

				<p><a href="/search">Advanced Search</a></p>

			<h1>Modern Orchestral System</h1>

			<h1>Hornbostel-Sachs</h1>
				<txp:linklist form="Links" category="Hornbostel-Sachs" />
			<h1>The Collections</h1>
				<txp:linklist form="Links" category="Collections" />
		</div><!--//lefter-->
		<div id="righter">

form: footer

 
			</div><!--//righter-->
		</div><!--//textpattern_content-->
		<div id="clearer"></div>
	</div><!--//main-->
	<div id="footer"></div>
</div><!--//cont-->	
</body>
</html>

You don’t need to serve the content-type meta tag—Textpattern sends out the appropriate header with PHP.
You can post your code with bc. – Posting Code

Thank you. I am going to try this.
