I am new to islandora. I have it integrated with solr and it works fine but the results only show on the page with the following URL:
somesite.com/islandora/search
This is fine but I would like the results to show on a different page inside a view or a block.
Is this actually possible?
After reading the documentation it doesn't seem like it is. But I believe this should be a rather slandered requirement.
I have tried using URL Aliases, with no luck.
Has anyone done this??
If you have integrated the apache solr with sit Search then there is a module named Search API Page Block, which can help you showing result in block but it will only work for title of the nodes.
As it explains -
Currently, this module is only useful when placing search result
blocks on node pages, since it currently only uses $node->title as the
search keywords. Future development can lead to other uses, including
using Taxonomy terms, Context module, or custom fields to set the
keywords.

I want to define a new template called "product".
This template calls an external service and retrieves the information about that specific product. That is easily done with a custom plugin that access the product information. Information on how to do that has been found here.
However, I would like that the URL of the page would be something like:
/product/<id>/<seo-friendly-description>
So I can retrieve in the Twig template both <id> and <seo-friendly-description> which will be used later to retrieve the specific product information.
I have tried to find something that could help in the documentation, without success. Could someone either point me to the right doc section or highlight the basic steps that shall be achieved so I can start solving this issue?
Just in case it helps, I am trying to find something similar to how bottle or other web frameworks work:
#route('/hello/<name>')
def greet(name):
return 'Hello ' + name
I've been building a family recipebook into my own website and I've been working through a similar problem. I haven't quite worked out all the kinks, but my solution is mostly working if you want to checkout my github repo.
In short, you need the plugin to watch what the active route is. If the route matches, you then create the page and populate it using your plugin data.
I haven't quite figured out how to get the active page to highlight in the navigation menu for generated pages, but you might still find this solution helpful.
I've never used Drupal before (development or managing content). I was asked to extend the admin content page to have a filter and simply don't know enough to get moving quickly.
Can anyone tell me if adding a search by text filter in the admin content area requires code or is there a CMS feature like adding a node for this task.
If code is required, is there something like a hook for this area? Not sure where to start. I will be investigating on my own but pointers to get me oriented to Drupal would help.
By default Drupal provides search mechanism ready to use. But there are also additional module which can improve search experience. You don't need any coding to use that search. You already have search form block ready to use.
Go to Structure -> Blocks and find block called "Search form". Now all you have to do is to put that block in some region and it will appear on front-end. Of course if it's not already styled by your theme it may be needed to put some extra CSS to make it look nice. There are also some template files which you can override and put some your HTML if you need.
There's also template file for search results page (which of course will work out of box also).
You may also need to create new block region if you want to place your form at some specific place, not covered by any existing region defined by your theme (easy thing to do!).
See https://drupal.stackexchange.com/q/30633/101329, the "Admin Views" module lets you configure the search form as you like.
I'm trying to do paging of results from a Cloudant database.
I've tried using bookmark, but the fact that the final page of results still has a bookmark is a problem for me, since it means that apps using the database can't tell if there's a 'next page' or not without requesting it.
Instead, I've tried using skip with a URL like this:
https://samdutton.cloudant.com/mydb/_design/mydesigndoc/_search/mysearch?
q=foo:bar&skip=10
However, this isn't working: I always get the first page of results.
Am I doing something wrong, or should this work?
Skipping results isn't supported in search. See the search documentation for the full list of supported options.
I need to produce facet block from two vocabularies in my site. I am using Views and a patched version of Views infinite Scroll to generate the search page, using my search index, and I have tweaked everything I could in the facet display settings to see if I could produce the requested results, to no avail.
I do not need keyword searches. I need to show all taxonomy terms in each facets at all times and to be able to select a single criteria at a time from each vocabulary. So, never more thane one selection at a time from each facet block.
Why are you using Solr to store data and generate your search page, if you do not need keyword search and are trying to go against the native working of solr Facets, I hear you say? For performance reasons, it is the reason why I am using Solr to store & serve the results, I have even gone as far as pushing renedered node to the index with the help of the somwhat obscure search_api_solr_view_modes module.
I could take two separate routes
Create a custom block, load all the taxonomy terms, alter the output of the term link to point to the view and provide the TID for the View. The active filter data could be obtained from the view arguments. I know how to do that but feel it is the wrong way to go about it, if I am working with Solr, I should be using a facet, not a custom block.
Build a custom Facet block that has this exact behaviour. After reading a lot of documentation, I git kind of dicouraged with the possibility of doing this simply without having to develop a Facet plugin, which is kind of out of my league.
Any advice is appreciated.
Here is a screenshot of the interface I have to produce.

Each taxonomy term has to be persistent, i.e., produce a link event if there are no nodes indexed under this term.
Selecting a term in one of the vocabularies will deselect previously selected terms
Clicking on the x next to a term will remove it form the active search criterias.
Have a look at this. https://drupal.org/project/ajax_facets This might get you to where you need to be. Sans you infinite scroll. There is a youtube video that goes with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBj3OkXLyWs
I'd appreciate it if it works as I haven't tried it my self.
I have a slight problem I have been trying to address for a client I have been working with. We have 4 sets of single pages that are loading content from a database using PHP based upon a get string that is provided. These pages that are generated are optimized well for SEO and have alt tags for images and Content that we need to be able to search using a search feature.
Now i had assumed (An everyone knows what assuming gets you) that these pages by default would be able to be searched by the concrete 5 built in search feature. But it doesn't work. If I search for a word that I know is definitely on one of these pages even multiple times no results are found.
How can I make Concrete5 search these pages. If its no do able by a default or by a plugin, then can someone please offer some advice on how to fix this. This is an important feature and must be completed.
EDIT: See my comment below. I still need some help or direction here as CSE inst much of an option.
EDIT2: It may be viable for me to install a crawler and a custom search engine to address my problems. I was thinking of spider. Any other suggestions on that or other options are much appreciated!
Unfortunately C5 doesn't provide a way to do this -- the only way to tap into the search index is with blocks. And even if you created a phony block just to pass content from the single_page through to the search index, there's no way to say that some content is from one URL while other content is from another URL (which you'd need to do since your single_page controller is handling many different URL's).
I don't know of a way to achieve what you want to do (and it appears that nobody else does either -- http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/make-content-in-single-pages-searchable/ ), other than building your own internal search engine.
EDIT: I just did some digging, and thought that perhaps you could manually insert records into the PageSearchIndex table and specify the searchable content and the desired path there -- but this won't work because it relies on one cID (collection id, a.k.a. page id) per entry -- so you'd only be able to insert one record for the top-level single_page path.
I think the simplest solution here would be to create your own searching infrastructure for your single_pages (like some kind of function in the controller that would return an array of page paths and searchable content for each one), then override the search block and perform an additional search of your single_page -- then combine the results on the search results page there. Or just use google site search for your site, which will actually crawl the pages and hence find your various single_page urls: https://www.google.com/cse/
Best of luck.
I have not tested this, but maybe you can put a function getSearchableContent() in the single pages controller like you do for blocks. This would return the string to be searched. Would look something like this:
function getSearchableContent() {
// ... compose searchstring depending on the queried content.
return $searchstring;
}
But I don't know if this works for dynamic content. If not, I'd look into C5's search index core classes and try to extend them for your project.
