Installation

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

Examples/Usage

The selectsearch plugin is a “non-fancy” copy of the fancysearch plugin. It is possible to define a list of namespaces in the plugin config (via the config manager) from which the user can choose when doing a search in the wiki. The results will be restricted to the chosen namespace.

To use the Plugin you have to include the searchbox in your template:

$selectsearch = plugin_load('action', 'selectsearch');
  if (!is_null($selectsearch)) {
      $selectsearch->tpl_searchform();
  } else {
      tpl_searchform();
  }

Configuration and Settings

In the configuration manager you can define a list of namespaces to be selected by the user when doing a search.

The syntax for the option is the:name:space>Text to display in dropdown

The options are comma separated. For having an option to search the whole wiki, you have to add an empty namespace like this: >whole wiki</tt

The default value gives a good impression how this works:

$conf['searchnamespaces'] = ">All pages,portfolio>Portfolio,hilfe>Help";

FAQ

[discussions should ideally be deleted and turned into FAQ entries along the way]

Discussion

  • The Quick result pop-up no longer appears when this plugin is activated. Is that intentional?
  • Within what template file(s) would you add the searchbox syntax?

Vector template

Doesn't appear in the correct place in the vector template.

language for search button

The parameter to change the language of the search-button is missing. As workaround it is possible to change line 55 in action.php to
echo '<input class=“button” type=“submit” title=“Search” value=“Suche”>';
(example for the german language)

The better way would be to introduce a new parameter for the settings.php

set of namespaces

It would be great if the plugin would accept a set of namespaces as searchnamespace. Alternatively it would be helpful to exclude a certain namespace from the search.

We are missing this too.
