I am using the mod xdirectory and if I have a category called Carpentry, and I do a site search for Carpentry, I get nothing back unless the word carpentry appears in the description of a listing. Is there any way to make the category (Carpentry) get listed when doing a search?

Thanks.

I want to have category names show up when you do a site search. Any ideas.

Thanks in advance

I have a solution for you but I don't know if it's exactly what your looking for.

In this file: modules/xdirectory/include/search.inc.php contains the SQL statement that XOOPS uses for searches. I've added the category title but when it does a search it lists every result as a category name and not the name of the actual busines.

see my example here and tell me if that is what you're looking for. http://www.folsomliving.com
If it is I'll send you the code.

Thanks,

I'm very interested, right now I return nothing with the search.

By the way your site looks real good, nice work. I saw it a while ago and it is filling up nice, hope I have that happen for me.

Thanks for the compliment! I'm also a member of the local chamber of commerce which helps generate interest in the our site.

anyway here's the code that searches the categories:

You can replace the contents of this file /modules/xdirectory/include/search.inc.php
with the code here.

good luck

Thanks alot, I thought it worked once, then I was doing other stuff with the site and when I tried it later it didn't work,
not sure if I used a category with the same key word as in the description, or if it really worked. But now it doesn't work. I changed it back to original, made changes again and still won't work. Just curious but could that change be made in the file:

search.php

Thanks again

The file should be named: search.inc.php
and it should reside in this directory: /modules/xdirectory/include/

You shouldn't have to touch the main search file located in the root.(/search.php)

Let me know if you still have problems.

It does work , I was using a category that had no listings in it so it brought back nothing. I was thinking if there were sub categories, that would count as something, and return something. But It works if there is a listing in the category.
Thanks.

Hi to all xdirectory fans!

I found a very easy fix to the search problem in xdirectory. Builderb mentions that with the 'new' search code you can only view the category names and not the name of the business when you search the module.

This trick fixes the problem:

In include/search.inc.php on line 36 move the "c.title" part to the beginning of the sql string (just after the word SELECT that is).

Now you'll see the name of the business instead of the name of the category in search.

Thanks for a wonderful module, builderb!
