Re: Search problem with static page
Yes, it is part of sed_section_fields v0.5.3 which provides admin interface field customisation on a per-section basis.
If I understand correctly, the “Treat as a static section?“ (“Yes”) means that you can’t save a new article in a “static” section – ie only one article is allowed – great for “About”, “Contact” pages etc. Also, its corresponding section is only visible, in the Section dropdown in the Write tab, if your user permissions are that of Publisher.
I believe this version was modified by Gerhard who wrote glz_custom_fields v1.2.3 (which I also have installed).
I tried changing the option to “No”, and also tried disabling sed_section_fields, but I am still having the same problem. So I doubt this is the issue.
Grateful for any other suggestions :)

Re: Search problem with static page
Problem appears to be solved!
It seems that the <txp:if_category> tag in page “default” was the cause of the problem. I am not using categories for the About article.
I tried adding default categories to Category 1 and Category 2 in the About article “Sort and Display” to see if that worked, but it didn’t. So I had to delete the category tag in page “default”. Not sure why. Does that make sense?
Anyway, my final question in this thread is:
How can I output the search result url so that it reads:
http://domain.com/about/
rather than:
http://domain.com/about/about
Thanks in advance.

Re: Search problem with static page
Some possible solutions, off the top of my head:
A) If this is the only case you need to fix, you can resort to some ad-hoc/specific code, like:
On your article form (adapt the code to your desired output)
<txp:if_article_id id="XX"> <!-- XX is the id of your "about" article -->
<a href="/about/"><txp:title /></a>
<txp:else />
<!-- for any other article -->
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
</txp:if_article_id>B) For a more generic solution (code yet to be tested), you could try this:
On your article form:
<txp:variable name="article_url_title" value='<txp:article_url_title />' /> <!-- we save the article URL title of current search result inside a variable -->
<txp:if_variable name="article_url_title" value='<txp:section />'> <!-- we compare the variable value against the section to which the current search result belongs, and if it's true, then: -->
<txp:section><txp:title /></txp:section>
<txp:else /> <!-- not true, that is, article_url_title isn't equal to the section the article belongs to-->
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
</txp:if_variable>Of course, this will depend on keeping a convention: articles that are used as “static pages” must have their url_title matching the name of the section.
A shorter variation, using smd_if plugin (a must have) and without the need of creating a variable:
<txp:smd_if field='<txp:article_url_title />' operator="eq" value='<txp:section />'>
<txp:section><txp:title /></txp:section>
<txp:else />
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
</txp:smd_if>BTW, notice that when nesting txp tags inside txp tags, you have to use single quotes.
Let us know if any of the above worked as expected.

Re: Search problem with static page
Many thanks maniqui.
Works like a charm!
This is the content of my search_results form:
<h3 class="entry-title"><txp:smd_if field='<txp:article_url_title />' operator="eq" value='<txp:section />'>
<txp:section><txp:title /></txp:section>
<txp:else />
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
</txp:smd_if>
</h3>
<p class="published"><txp:posted /></p>
<p class="entry-summary"><txp:search_result_excerpt /></p>
<p class="small"><txp:smd_if field='<txp:article_url_title />' operator="eq" value='<txp:section />'>
<txp:section><txp:site_url /><txp:section />/</txp:section>
<txp:else />
<txp:permlink><txp:permlink /></txp:permlink>
</txp:smd_if></p>
<div class="divider"><img src="<txp:site_url />images/1.gif" width="400" height="1" alt="---" title="" /></div>Much appreciated :)
