Broken Search?

Tuesday 03 February 2009 3:42:24 pm

For some reason, when trying to search from the front end, I get...

Tried solving this myself but can't work it out, any ideas?

-------------------------------
Page redirects to: index.php?SearchText=test and error shown below:

Error / kernel (20)

Module not found
The requested module SearchText=test could not be found.

Possible reasons for this are:

The module name was misspelled, try changing the URL.
The module does not exist on this site.
This site uses siteaccess matching in the URL and you did not supply one, try inserting a siteaccess name before the module in the URL .

I did as you said and selected to override with the VirtualHost setting - then tried a search again, now I get a 404...

------------------------------

http://www.**********.co.uk/eng/content/search?SearchText=pierce

Not Found
The requested URL /eng/content/search was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'll try changing the search to post then - but where/how do I do this?

Incidently, adding the VirtualHost setting stopped all pages/links in the site working!?

Yep, it's recommended always to clean cache after any serious changes. You can do it manually, purging folders:

var/cache/ (...) (especially var/cache/ini)
var/ezwebin_site/cache/template/compiled/

As for my working routine, I usually copy override and siteaccess folders from settings folder before making any significant ini changes. If it breaks the site, then it's enough to copy these folders again (or corresponding ini files only) and purge the ini cache.

In addition, edit the site.ini.append.php file in your override folder (if you set ForceVirtualHost as override) or in siteaccess/your_siteaccess folder, and set ForceVirtualHost to false.

As for changing GET to POST, you have to edit a template, either in your own design, or by making template override, or if you plan using only ezwebin design, change it in:

extensions/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/pagelayout.tpl (for search in the site banner)
extensions/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/content/search.tpl (for search)
extensions/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/content/advancedsearch.tpl (for adv. search)

There are also admin search tpls, these are located in design/admin folder, do a little search please, don't have time to check that out. ^^

The eZ Staff member said "IF you're running in Vhost mode". You most probably aren't, so you don't need to enable it. Anyway, Vhost mode is recommended for security and nice urls setup, there are many topics about it... too bad not everyone can controll vhost settings.

Yep, it was difficult to grasp all of this for me as well, but the more I sit with eZ, the better it gets :) Also, the documentation and articles were very helpful for me.
