textfield / string searchable
|
Can't Post
|
|
Hello,
I made a new textfield / string and input the place hold thing:
<!-- templateIf : $article.productnumber$ ne "" -->
<b>Product Number:</b> $article.productnumber$ - (if applies)
<!-- /templateIf -->
It works fine however there will be matching product numbers to help people get all the peice of the project they need. Is there anyway to add make a new search page for people to only search for product numbers? So when they enter the product number all matching product number show up.
Or ~ make the product number a link so when they click it all the matching number show?
could it been done like related articles but with related product numbers?
Example of product numbers:
P - 8974784
W - 8974784
T - 8974784
P for printable, W for word doc and T for tutor etc...
Thanks
Kimberly

Hi Kimberly,
In that case you should be able to follow the related articles tutorial pretty much as it is - you won't really need to do anything different.
http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/doc.cgi?/articlemanager2/tutorials/related_articles.html
Let us know if you have any questions while setting that up!

Since I already have this tutor done as related articles.
I do I do the same tutor but change the:
Field Label: Article Keyword
Field Name: keyword
Field Type: text field
to fit the products field names. Correct?

Hi Kimberly,
Right - if you've already set this up, then you would need to create the exact same type of field, but just give it a different name and description.

Hello,
I have a few questions after trying this.
First here is the information:
Add new article field:
Field Label: Product Number
Field Name: productnumber
Field Type: text field
Create a custom search results template
I named the page relatedProduct.html
- Does any of this need edited? I cound not se anyting to edit.
<!--StartFragment--> <b>Related Product:</b><br>
<!-- template insert : $articleList$ -->
<div class="summary">
<!-- templatecell : articleRow -->
<a href="$published.articlePage.url$"><b>$article.title$</b></a> - <span class="summary_date">$article.date$</span><br>
<!-- /templatecell : articleRow -->
</div>
Edit the articlePage.html template
I will highlight what I changed but got an error message so need to know what I did wrong:
<!--StartFragment--> <!-- templateIf : $article.keyword$ ne "" -->
<!--#include virtual="$/printable/search.cgil$?action=search&keywordSearchFields=keyword&keyword=$article.productnumber$&template=searchEngine/relatedProduct.html&perpage=10" -->
<br>
Thoughts?
Thank you
Kimberly

Hi Kimber!
What error message are you getting?
One thing to doublecheck is that the new template is in the searchEngine template directory, since that's what you're specifying in the search path.

Hello, I started over from scratch to I could find my error. I got related articles working fine. But on related product I get error [an error occurred while processing this directive]
Go to Admin > Database Editor and click "edit table & fields" link for Articles.
I put:
Field Label: Product Number
Field Name: product
Field Type: text field
-- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
relatedProduct.html is the file in the /templates/searchEngine/ and in that file I have:
<b>Related Products:</b><br>
<!-- template insert : $articleList$ -->
<div class="summary">
<!-- templatecell : articleRow -->
<a href="$published.articlePage.url$"><b>$article.title$</b></a> - <span class="summary_date">$article.date$</span><br>
<!-- /templatecell : articleRow -->
</div>
- - - - - - - -
in articlePage.html I put:
<!-- templateIf : $article.product$ ne "" -->
<!--#include virtual="/printable/search.cgiaction=search&productSearchFields=product&product=$article.product$&template=searchEngine/relatedProduct.html&perpage=10" -->
<br>
<!-- /templateIf -->
- - - - - -
Any thoughts what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks
Kimberly

Hi Kimber,
Yep, you've got a teeny typo. In this line:
<!--#include virtual="/printable/search.cgiaction=search&productSearchFields=product&product=$article.product$&template=searchEngine/relatedProduct.html&perpage=10" -->
You're missing the "?" after the filename. It should be:
<!--#include virtual="/printable/search.cgi?action=search&productSearchFields=product&product=$article.product$&template=searchEngine/relatedProduct.html&perpage=10" -->
Right now, it's getting that error because "search.cgiaction" isn't a filename on the server. This is basically a fancy "file not found" error. :)

I hate tiny typos (thanks) and now I have another problem. It works but it showing the last 10 added articles instead of the ones with matching product numbers. And this is on all articles but I only have product numbers I put in two articles.
http://www.printmefree.com/printable/halloween/Halloween_story_school_lesson.shtml for a sample. Under Related Products:
Any ideas?
{ Hope I am not driving you all crazy, if this is not possible then that is ok. Just something we like to add }

Hi Kimberly,
Would you be able to download the "Halloween_story_school_lesson.shtml" file, view the source and see what's being output there? I can't quite see what's happening without seeing what the browser sees (which will be the source of that file.) If you can let me know what it's coming up with, we should be able to track down why it's not displaying correctly. :)

Hi Kimber,
Nope, that's the source code of the page -- what we need to look at is what's actually on the server. It should just be an SSI string, but with the placeholders replaced with the actual content. :)

I am really not for sure what you are looking for. I download the halloween file and opened in a txt pad. In the product section it is
<!--#include virtual="/printable/search.cgi?action=search&productSearchFields=product&product=843830&template=searchEngine/relatedProduct.html&perpage=10" -->
I can post the whole page if you want or send in a trouble ticket.
What ever you think is best.

Hi Kimber,
Yep, that's exactly what I was looking for -- mostly, I just wanted to be able to test the search myself... and ahah, I see the problem!
In the tutorial, where it has the word "keyword" ... most of those are actually required to stay as keyword, but you've changed them to product. So, change your SSI to this:
<!--#include virtual="/printable/search.cgi?action=search&keywordSearchFields=product&keyword=$article.product$&template=searchEngine/relatedProduct.html&perpage=10" -->
Article Manager doesn't know what "productSearchFields" means, and it wasn't getting a keyword passed through at all... so it just gave back the last ten articles instead. Switch it to the above, and you should be good to go. :)
The URL that it'll be bringing in will be this:
http://www.printmefree.com/printable/search.cgi?action=search&keywordSearchFields=product&keyword=843830&template=searchEngine/relatedProduct.html&perpage=10
So you can view that page and see that you get the appropriate results.
