Very good widget.

May I suggest one thing?
You may want to expand it a little if you add a widget setting to include other blogs, like all blogs from this owner or some defined public blogs or something.

Do subscribe it to BOPIT (contact ¥åßßå for that), add yourself to Sourceforge evocms-plugins (contact blueyed for that).

Thanks

Thanks

I'll try to add an option to include other blogs.
I already have BOPIT access, will ask about Sourceforge later today.

you might like to change that to "if only 1 ticked then hide them all and add the ticked option as a hidden input", then users can select there own "default" action

In TODO list ;)

Why don't you like a double space padding ;) ?

I'm now trying to figure out how to include posts from other blogs. And I also want to add a date field.

Do you mean something like this?

Code

It takes a lot of space, but I'll try it after/if I make a search by blog thing.

Updated again :)

this is very cool, i can now simply add a search area consisting of only search button and text field ;) i am looking forward to date search func.

and Ed hey, if you want to update a lame widget, i d like to see a better online list too (: like online members, staff or showing user groups and how many user online on each group etc..

I would like to know if I can use this plugin 'advanced search' with pagination and how.

Many thanks

what do you mean pagination ? in every page of a post , or in every page of the blog ?

in both case, you will simply have to add a container where you want the widget to be displayed and insert the widget in that container

You can change 50 to 10 if you want so, but it won't follow page links anyway.

is there any way to solve this problem?

Not in this version of plugin :(

a nice feature would be : don't display all the 'options' in the front, just 'do them' as the admin choose in the backoffice
that way you can have a very clean searchbox with 1 button 'go' (a css desingable button offcourse)

that way you can have a very clean searchbox with 1 button 'go' (a css desingable button offcourse)

This is how it works, just untick all "display" boxes and you'll get a searchbox with 1 button 'go'.

You can use this code in skin

PHP

I may be bollocks wrong, but I seem to recall that you can also do

PHP

hi sam2kb, would you think of implementing sth like [url=http://b2evo.astonishme.co.uk/plugins.php?s=am_search]Search Highlight II v. 2.3 by ¥åßßå [/url] into this plugin, and oh btw, i remember you mentioning search between dates thing, is it doable yet

Search Highlight doesn't work with Russian text, it was reported to ¥åßßå some time ago ;)

Bugger, I keep forgettin' to try and fix that :p

thanks for the update.. but after updating the search still does not highlight the retrieved results ..give it a shot [url=http://www.tilqi.com/anasayfa.php?s=hitler]here[/url] did i have to do anything further else than updating the plugin ?

sam2kb wrote:

The plugin didn't use rendering functions before, but now it does and you have to manually set Apply rendering to "stealth" or simply Restore defaults.

i did. nothing changed :/

It works good, but it doesn't highlight post titles http://www.tilqi.com/anasayfa.php?s=budur.

I'm now fixing it

sam2kb wrote:

There's no way to highlight post title.

it does not highlight the post content either it seems

Check this link http://www.tilqi.com/anasayfa.php?s=i%C3%A7in

Your posts have 2-3 pages, if you don't see highlighted text on some posts it means the word(s) is on the other page.

BTW why don't you want to display results in google-like style, this is the main plugin's feature which you don't use :)

aah i see, i kept trying keywords in the titles.. it'd be better if it could highlight titles and tags, i mean almost anywhere, wherever the term was used..
¥åßßå's plugin is very cool actually and does not clash with yours, it d be great if it didnt have that special character problem..

Hello.

I just installed this plugin as it looks really neat.

How can I restrict certain authors from being searched, starting with demouser? :?:

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, sam2kb.

I just did a search for 'templates' as an example whereby the only public blogs are demo Blog A and Blog B.

I noticed the URL (not live) at the end of the one result found, that due to its length, it overlapped the right column in FF 2.0.x but not in IE 6 nor IE 7.

Is there a way to force word-wrapping at a certain# of characters? :?:

Thanks again in advance.

I didn't test it yet, but the code I wrote above should exclude the author from dropdown menu.
I'm gonna work on it today.

Thanks for your reply and the update, sam2kb.

I should (hopefully) install this tonight.

One thing I thought of after my last reply was that I plan on having multiple blogs and multiple bloggers.

If, from time to time, any of the bloggers want to exclude an author(s) from their blog's 'Advanced Search,' I'd really prefer it be done via the Admin interface versus them contacting me to modify the code for each instance.

Granted, I am not sure how you updated the plugin; I assume it is via adding a new 'case' or similar via editing the code as you mentioned previously.

I'll check out what you have tonight.

Thanks again as this is an nice plugin.

There's no easy way to exclude some authors when search within "All" without hacking the core.
I'll probably rewrite the search function some day.

Hello.

I'm using this plugin and just noticed that upon performing a search, when the results are displayed, in addition to the current blog's highlighted post dates, the calendar also then highlights a date on the calendar not belonging to the blog the search is performed in, but from one of the other public blogs.

When clicking on that highlighted date, the results say, 'Sorry, there is nothing to display...'. This behavior is also seen even when the blog results includes a post from that other blog posted on that day.

What might be the purpose of this? :?:

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply, sam2kb.

I'll PM it to you as it is not yet 'Live'.

Edit the following in inc/items/model/_item.funcs.php #58

PHP

Good luck

i just installed this plugin, looks great, thanks!

with it placed within my sidebar, the drop down fields run off the sidebar and disappear.... is there any way to make the drop downs shorter in width? is this what blogmeister was referring to with word-wrapping?

Is there a way to force word-wrapping at a certain# of characters?
Thanks again in advance.

@blogmeister
To wrap the link open plugins/advanced_search_plugin/inc/_adv_search.disp.php on line 47 and change the number of characters from 250 to whatever you need.
You can also try to play with CSS in plugins/advanced_search_plugin/adv_search.css

Good luck

i adjusted this, and changed 250 to 25, but it doesn't seem to have had any effect.

also, is there a way to change the text "root site" to categories or something else?

here's a [url=http://shitledger.com]link[/url]

i couldn't find the #cat any where in the file, but what i did find was this:

.bSideBar {
margin: 0;
padding: 57px 0 0 0;
width: 204px;
float: right;
overflow: visible;
background-image: url(img/right_col.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right top;

i changed the width from 204 to 259 and the entire sidebar disappeared! then i tried changing overflow from hidden to visible, which also caused the sidebar to disappear. any ideas?

also, anyone know how to get rid of the text, "root site" in the category drop down?

also, is there a way to change the text "root site" to categories or something else?

There's no easy way to change it :( but you can remove this option by changing 'true' to 'false' in the following code around the line 300

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Hi,

B2 2.4.6

I've set my blog to display 1 page at a time, full posts no excerpts.

Now, I would like the search function to only display a clickable list of results, not the full posts or pages one by one.

Any clue?

Thanks!

But this plugin isn't flawless...

If the searched word appear in an <IMG SRC="....THE_WORD..." /> tag, then the picture isn't displayed, plus the source name is partially displayed up to the "/>"

If the search word appears in a menu item, the menu css is destroyed too.

And finally, the full post is displayed, not a list.
And if more than 1 post, then a seamingly endless page is displayed!

Too bad!

Suggestion: To display the page title (clickable to go to the full post), plus say 50 words before and after the 1st occurence of searched word.

...Rendered content...
That would be nice. Put me on your beta testers please :-)

Quote: "What menu..."

Not a B2 menu, but a <UL><LI> list of mine that my css renders as an extra horizontal menu...

Not that display is also destroyed, alas.

The plugin highlights and destroys html tags.

If you search for "green" the following code

becomes

Put me on your beta testers please :-)

It still has some bloats, just watch the plugin's topic, I post updates there. BTW you can try a dev version [url=http://www.sonorth.com/travel/tours/?types=&s=garden&locale=en-US]here[/url]

Besides, can you give a date for the finam version, that won't search the links or picture titles?

I've not found any line in the .css file to fine-tune how the submit button should be displayed.

Add the following in adv_search.css

Code

Besides, can you give a date for the final version, that won't search the links or picture titles?

Some day B)
I'm currently working on another 2 huge plugins and don't have time for this one.

are there any updates on this plugin? I'd like to give it a try. Google XHTML and Dynamic thing is crappy.

Great stuff. I enabled it on our blog.

By the default - I would suggest having the single search box (like google).

i love the highlighting of the searched terms.

I would also add the class statements on the actual inputs so it's easier to find them in the css or rename them to match your own.

I also switched the search text box to be inline with the search button.

Thanks. <this should be the default search engine in b2evo 3.2..

You still don't use the main feature "google-like styled results".

I just saw that in your blog. Yeah those google like results look great. how do I enable them?

I'm reading the thread here in the meantime... the readme.html file seems a bit out of date or my skin doesn't have the " MESSAGES GENERATED FROM ACTIONS" section.

yeah, sorry - I forgot I got fancy and separated my skin main.index into a couple of 'php' files.

i have the results looking like google now - except that when I click on them i get an error.

Seems like the link is constructed as:
?blog=6?highlight=st.+augustine and the question mark before highlight is throwing it off.

http://www.thechristianalert.org/index.php/2005/10/15/were_the_u_s_founding_fathers_christian_7?blog=6?highlight=st.+augustine

So that you know - I'm actually not using it as a widget. I enabled the widget and then cut the HTML and hard coded that into my skin. Perhaps this is throwing it off

EDIT: I fixed this error by going to Blog Settings and Choosing the :
"Extra path Option" so it shows index.php/BlogName instead of index.php?blog=5

Now I'm in business. thanks.

@esanchez

Cool, you found a bug ;) To fix it replace the following in advanced_search_plugin/inc/_adv_search.disp.php

PHP

with

PHP

Oh wait a minute ... Searching would be an action, so of course it needs a place to put a message from that action. Too bad. Does the core search feature do it that way?

It doesn't rely on "actions", it's just a marker for users, since the messages code is included in all submitted skins.

Unless advanced search replaces core search Smile Not many plugins exist that should move from hooks to the core. This is most certainly one of 'em

Thanks, but first I have to finish the version which searches in [u]rendered[/u] content.

Plugin updated to v1.1

Lots of bug fixes, now doesn't highlight/break HTML tags

Plugin updated to v1.5 ;)

New: Precise search (optional). If enabled, the plugin will search through [u]rendered[/u] content, and [u]outside[/u] of HTML tags only. This means that a lot of false positive results will be filtered out.
New: Search by post type (Post, Page, Podcast etc.)
Fixed: Widget "remembers" selected search params
Fixed: Works in b2evo 3.x

And then all pages will link to the latest displayed post ;)

We don't need to specify custom 'page_url', default $ReqHost.$ReqPath works perfect.

Didn't it work in your case?

Try this, you don't need to add any params to URL

PHP

Also I got an error saying "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted" which means you should increase PHP memory limit to at least 32M

To get the error (blank page) search for "a b c d" and select "some words"

Yeah, I see now, the 'sentence' param is not memorized for some reason.

Edit the line 256 in plugin file and see if it fixes the problem.

PHP

to

PHP

EDIT: this is weird, no params are memorized, actually!

thanks for all the help BTW.

that works.

Sam,
Have you tried that plugin in a 3,3,1 (latest release) version ?
because it's like 'something' is conflickitng with item_light.
It's not working with my custom skin, nor with a 'out of the box' skin

Try this, and you'll see the result
http://www.tenderfeelings.be/dagelijks.php?s=pit&sentence=AND

and when I try it on a brand new installation (no update' then it works fine... I'll be damned...

ok, even more finetuning :
I had to change back my tables to myISAM, instead of INNODB, and then the itemlight does not work. Does that makes any sence ?

and where can I find the svn version ?

YES YES YES
thank you so mutch!!!!

Make sure the rendering is set to stealth in plugin settings

Do you also know that it can display results much nicer than default b2evo search ?
http://ru.b2evo.net/show.php?s=blog+post&sentence=OR

yeah, in readme.html

Everything you need to get it working is written in that readme.html

Just copy the above code in skin file after the messages code.

Right, just add the new code

its allways PICNIC

Thank you very mutch!
after the 5th time I read the 10 lines in the readme.html, I finaly understood what was written there ;)

My b2evolution Version: 2.4.7 and 3.3.1

Hi! Maybe is nothing, but in my blogs, when I tried to "search" something usin the normal search plugin, as a result the blog disappeared and the only part that I could see was the header part.
And I don´t know the reason, but I got rid of the advanced search plugin and the search function worked again. And in other blogs that I have advanced search plugin 0.3 everything is ok.

Please remove both plugins completely, including files. Then install v1.5 from the first post, and then update 2 files from here http://evocms-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/evocms-plugins/advanced_search_plugin/trunk/
_adv_search.disp/php
_advanced_search.plugin.php

Can you also link to to your blog where the plugin is installed?

You should either enable PHP errors or look at Apache error log.
It's hard to guess what exactly caused the page to die.

Just add this to your php.ini

display_errors On

Plugin updated to v1.6

Fixed all known bugs

New version released: 1.7.0

A new "search in blog" panel is displayed if there are less than 7 public blogs in the system
[u]Compatible with b2evolution v4.1 and newer.[/u]

Note that older versions of b2evolutions are not supported since v1.7.0 of this plugin

Not search in Page. Only in Post... bad
