I am writing a new component which require content search functionality.
I would like to make use of the system search plugin to do the job.
I have done some google searching, and I found that I can trigger the search event in component, but I failed to implement that...
Can anyone help?
I am running Joomla 2.5
I end up using this code and it works
$dispatcher =& JDispatcher::getInstance();
JPluginHelper::importPlugin('search');
$results = $dispatcher->trigger('onContentSearch', array($_POST['q']));

What is the best way to create a menuitem (for the Gtk.MenuBar) that should open the default browser with a new tab and loading an URL?
Is it possible to do that in Glade directly or do I need to create that function in the program code itself? Is there a preferred way in Python 3 to do that?
After a lot of searching for a Glade-only solution, I think that Gtk.Menuitem doesn't have a URL-open option. I now just defined on_menuitem_clicked-function that uses:
webbrowser.open_new_tab()
from the standard library.
I have build several custom Joomla components and they all work pretty nice. Now I want to add social sharing buttons to my frontend view and I want to use an existing plugin to generate them. Does anybody know how to accomplish this. How can you enable contentplugins in your own component. (The plugin I want to use is ITP-SocialButtons.)
You have to enable content prepare and import your plugin:
$plugin = "{pluginname parameter}";
echo JHtml::_('content.prepare', $plugin);
You could also use JpluginHelper class:
$plugin = JPluginHelper::getPlugin($type, $name);
echo $plugin->variable;
Good Luck!
Hello please read the whole question, this isn't just solved by enabling the modules only for the search page:
I have a few modules that are exclusively shown on the search page in Joomla.
I created a hidden menu entry for the search as well in order to tell modules to only show on this page. This works alright, but when I click one of the results and get redirected to the actual result, then the modules, which should only show up on the search page are still shown in the result page.
Any clue how to fix this? Really annoying as I use 3rd party search enhancing modules, and they are showing on the results.
Using standard Joomla, there's no way to target modules to only the search results page and none of the pages that link off the results – but I know you knew that! The hidden menu item is a help, but does not change the menu item of some of the links off that page. It's all to do with the allocation and use of "Itemids" in Joomla.
To be able to target modules more specifically, you need to use a 3rd-party extension. I developed MetaMod (www.metamodpro.com) to cope with exactly this use case. MetaMod is a wrapper module that can then decide just which other module to include in itself (or not). So you assign the MetaMod to the page, then put a snippet of code inside the MetaMod which decides which other module to include.
In this case, I'd use the following in MetaMod:
if ($core_genius->check("pagetype = search, searchresults")) return XXX;
// replace XXX with the module id of the module to include
// ONLY on the search page, or the searchresults page, but
// no other type of page.
Hope that helps,
Stephen
Although MetaMod is great (I've used it myself & Stephen's support is great!) there is another way to do it without using 3rd party extensions.
You could create new module positions in your template above (or below) the module positions you wanted to use and wrap them in an if statement like so:
<?php if(!isset(JRequest::getString('searchword'))) : ?>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="right-search" style="xhtml" />
<?php endif; ?>
I am working on a JavaFX 2.0 application and i want to save a website and it's content by depth, but i do not know how to do this. For example if i want depth 0, it will save the first html page. If the depth is 1 i will save the first html page of the website and all the Subpages of it with their content! I do not know how to do this.
I have this project as homework. I am student!
Anyone can help me out here? I will be very greatfull.
Thanks a lot!
I'm not sure that JavaFX has some special API for this task. The main idea of javaFX may be defined as "tool for builing really cool GUI", but not like "some special tool for some specific tasks on web". Maybe WebView component can help you with your task (as its purpose is working with web). If not - you should work with javaFX on this task just the same way you'll walk with some other framework on it: write your own parser for HTML pages (read a website as a string, parse it for finding all html tags... and so on... XPath can help you there), or find some already existing libraries and use them in your application.
So, javaFX can help you in this project as a framework for building GUI, but business logic must be done by some other frameworks.
I would like to make a content based sub navigation on some pages in Orchard 1.4, but i don't know how. Can I achieve this by using Advanced Menu Module or any other module?
Or is there a way to get this done without a module?
Thanks
You need a module. (some random text to make SO happy)
