FlexSearchForm snippets don't works? have you set the result page?

[zi]

You have to create a new page for search results and then use the snippet like this

Code:

[!FlexSearchForm?FSF_landing=1234!]

Where 1234 = your new page created for search results

Hope it helps.

Code:

[!FlexSearchForm?FSF_landing=1234!]

Where 1234 = your new page created for search results

Cheched out - it was initially by default, in either search and 404 pages. Not working.
Results doc contains:

Code:

[[FlexSearchForm? &FSF_showForm=`0`]]

What is you site address ?

[cryptomancer]

What is you site address ?

http://modx at localhost.
I may search the docs how to open it externally, but this may be tricky - it has "virtual servers" for several projects, all written into hosts file to 127.0.0.1 IP.

[zi]

try with [!...!] uncached snippets..

Here what I did for my site (internal development)

1. I created a new page, named it Search Results, then I read its ID (e.g. 28)

2. Now I write this code in my template where I want to show the search box

Code:

[!FlexSearchForm?FSF_landing=28!]

3. Now go to the newly created page (e.g. page 28 named Search Results)

4. Put this code inside it

Code:

[!FlexSearchForm?FSF_showForm=0!]

5. make sure the result page is published

Now this should work (and it is working for me)

zi

No, it did not work.

[zi]

No, it did not work.

Try refreshing your site from menu too.

The last thing I can do is to see/check it myself, can you make it online ?

Otherwise I am afraid that I (or may be we) wont able to help you further in this regard unless someone already hit by the same problem and solved it.

I hope you can understand this

OK, today's workday ends in 30 minutes, but at Monday i can open it for you if you tell me your IP address. I'm afraid of being cracked by worms etc if i'll open to all Inet my development environment what is made with zero regard of security - authors of the package warn against this.

What is your timezone ? My comp is up Mon-Fri from about 9:00 to 18:00 GMT+3 (Moscow, Russia)

Hi cryptomancer,

We'll get this figured out, and also by Monday we'll have the first Russian translation done for you as well!

Thanx, it gonna be nice. I threw in RU file from Etomite, but MODx complains about it's incompleteness.

Do i need to open my host for your inspection ? Please tell me your IP adress !

It works just fine with me.

I just set the landing id for the search box, and set hat page to display the result, with the given snippet syntax by zi.

The only thing that concern me, when I use relevance searching, it won't displayed any result, but when I use partial, it is able to display the result. Why is that? Is it a bugs?

Another thing, is it possible to search on sub sites (specific folders), instead of the whole website found another thread about this, but it's been like a few months ago. Hope there is someone else who had implemnt it already.

The searching capabilities could use some improvement. xyzvisual has dome some work here, so you might search for some of his posts.

[jaredc]

For relevance searching to work, the words searched for need to be at least 4 characters long. So for instance a search for: "Ian has a red hat" will turn up nothing. Partial on the other hand will work. This is both a limitation of the snippet itself and of MySQL and how it handles searches. I've been meaning to give FlexSearchForm a boost in functionality to help alleviate this issue and make its search more natural... it's just finding the time to do it...

Also, I can't emphasize enough that your search results page CANNOT be cached. I've seen that throw more people off than any other "config" error. I hope that's the problem because it's an easy fix
