etc_search: when the default search is not enough

lazlo · 2015-06-28 23:32:40

Hi Oleg

Your old code managed to work perfectly with rah_repeat I only had to change the search field. Thank you very much. I think I just created a too complex call in my mind and went back to the simpler one where I just listed the contributors other books without sorting them by role.

regards
Les Smith

This is the rah_repeat from code

<txp:if_custom_field name="contributors">

<txp:rah_repeat value='<txp:custom_field name="contributors" />' delimiter="~||~">

<txp:rah_repeat value='<txp:rah_repeat_value />' delimiter="~|~" assign="onix_code,contributor_role,contributor_full_name,contributor_full_name_reversed, contributor_name_before_key,contributor_key_name,contributor_country" />

<h1>Also by<br /><txp:variable name="contributor_full_name" /></h1>
<txp:etc_search_results id="3"  form="book_title" limit="40"
	query='<txp:variable name="contributor_full_name" />' />
</txp:rah_repeat>


</txp:rah_repeat>

And this is the search call.

{custom_59} AND Section='Books' AND ID != <txp:page_url type="id" /> ORDER BY custom_4 DESC

with these parameters

{"OR":";"}

Glad it works, but it’s pity to use a full-power plugin just to filter out the current article. If article_custom had exclude attribute, you could call it this way:

...
<txp:rah_repeat value='<txp:rah_repeat_value />' delimiter="~|~" assign="onix_code,contributor_role,contributor_full_name,contributor_full_name_reversed, contributor_name_before_key,contributor_key_name,contributor_country" />
	<h1>Also by<br /><txp:variable name="contributor_full_name" /></h1>
	<txp:article_custom exclude='<txp:article_id />'
 		section="books" form="book_title" limit="40"
		contributors='%<txp:variable name="contributor_full_name" />%' />
</txp:rah_repeat>
...

Other than that, the format you’ve chosen looks suboptimal: for each book by Some Author you have to input Author, Some and other repetitive information. It might be better to store it in a separate table (smd_user_info?)

Yo, my first pull contribution was merged into textpattern-master branch. If it stays there, one will be able to use <txp:article_custom /> as enhanced <txp:related_articles /> tag:

<txp:article_custom exclude='<txp:article_id />'
	keywords='<txp:meta_keywords format="" />' />

I like that at a lot. Just yesterday I was looking to grab all articles except those in a certain category… Could something like that work here without doing an article_custom as a tag in tag? In the end I went with an if_article_category construction in the article_custom’s output which works but is sub-optimal.

No plans to remove it. A great contribution, thank you. Very handy indeed.

No, I’m afraid, the current way would be

<txp:article_custom exclude='<txp:article_custom category="certain-category" break=","><txp:article_id /></txp:article_custom>' />

which is not optimal too, but cleaner and will respect the eventual limit attribute.

It is not difficult to extend exclude to something like ID : 1,2,3 | category : certain-category | ..., but it looks bloated. More general possibility is to instruct the parser to recognize “is different” patterns, say att!="value", and let each tag to decide what it does with it. But it’s mucho tags code rewrite, if we want to be coherent.

You can use the plugin aks_article , which supports SQL syntax where=

<txp:aks_article where="category1<>'certain-category' and category2<>'certain-category'"/>

You can specify additional attribute hideself="1" – Are excluded from the list of current article.

Hey, but you can use etc_search too, while we are here. :)

Hey Oleg (or others)

Is there a simple way to hide a search result that has no return?
“Sorry, no results found matching your search request”

EDIT: The answer for above question from Oleg is added here.
ANSWER:

<txp:etc_search_results id="8" form="book_title_only" limit="1" query='<txp:article_url_title />'>
<txp:else />
<!-- no match -->
</txp:etc_search_results>

Also maybe not so simple:
I have a Tab that is called “News” the code searches for related News using etc_search.
I would like to hide the tab as well.

<div class="tab-v1">
                    <ul class="nav nav-tabs">
                        <li class="active"><a href="#profiles" data-toggle="tab">Contributor Profiles</a></li>
                        <txp:hide><li><a href="#reviews" data-toggle="tab">Reviews</a></li></txp:hide>
                        <li><a href="#news" data-toggle="tab">Recent News</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#events" data-toggle="tab">Upcoming Events</a></li>
                    </ul><!--=== End Tab Headers ===-->

further down is

<div class="class="col-md-12""><!--=== Interior Content ===-->
<txp:etc_search_results id="4" query='<txp:title/>' form="newslistExcerpt" />
</div><!--=== End Interior Content ===-->

Hi Leslie,

if you mean the output of <txp:etc_search_results />, try to wrap it (and surrounding tags, if necessary) in <txp:if_search_results></txp:if_search_results>. For live search this is trickier, though.

Edit: Try rather this:

<txp:variable name="search_results" value='<txp:etc_search_results />' />
<txp:if_search_results>
... surrounding code ...
<txp:variable name="search_results" >/
... surrounding code ...
</txp:if_search_results>

I tried that code exactly I couldn’t get a result. I am not sure <txp:etc_search_results /> plays well with <txp:if_search_results>

I tried a version without the variable and couldn’t get <txp:if_search_results> to trigger but I could get <txp:if_search> to trigger.

<txp:etc_search_results />
<txp:if_search>
DISPLAYS TEXT
</txp:if_search>

but

<txp:etc_search_results />
<txp:if_search_results>
DISPLAYS NO TEXT
</txp:if_search_results>

They both should display text if there are search results but only <txp:if_search> does.

Sorry Les, can not reproduce. Are you sure the concerned <txp:etc_search_results /> is not preceded by <txp:article /> or other <txp:etc_search_results /> in this part?
