Search results in a custom template

Thursday 11 March 2004 9:44:14 am

I am using ez publish v3.3 and have a template which is used to display a list of items (say widgets). I use the simple search for various keywords i.e colour, shape etc which works fine. The problem is I want the results to display using either the custom template as used by the item listing or a copy of it. I have tried to override the searchresult.tpl template but this doesn't work (probably my fault not the software). can anyone point me inthe right direction as the default template only lists the item name and the class whereas I want more details.
I am a relative newbie to ez publish but have managed to work my through all the problems (many, many problems) by referencing the forums and the documentation. Please, please, please help.

Hi Hans,

many thanks for your prompt reply it worked out a treat. I simply copied the original template override, created a new blank override for the (correct) search template and pasted. The only bit I didn't quite understand was having to remove the table tags but I assume this template is called similar to a subroutine from the searchresult.tpl file.

thanks again you have saved hours of trial and error.
