Hi there!
This is my very first msg here. I discovered XOOPS just 3 weeks ago, but i'm already enthusiastic about it!

I made a little improvement to XFS Module - well, it's an improvement for me! The goal was to make searcheable some elements of the article.

The first thing I've done was to give a name to the search form in the search template. I called it "fSearch" (<form name="fSearch" ...>)

The second one was to ad some tags to every article posted using the XSF Module:
<span ID="autore">Jonathan Coe</span>
<span ID="titolo">Ghiaccio 9</span>
<span ID="editore">Feltrinelli</span>

Then I wrote in the article template the following lines:
<a href="#" onclick="goSearch('autore')">More stuff about this author</a><br>
<a href="#" onclick="goSearch('titolo')">Altro materiale su questo titolo</a><br>
<a href="#" onclick="goSearch('editore')">Altro materiale su questo editore</a>

The last one was to add to the main template the following script:

<SCRIPT>
function goSearch(elid)
{
var obj=document.getElementById(elid);
fSearch.query.value=obj.innerText;
fSearch.submit();
}
</SCRIPT>


This is what allows me to search through my site for any author, title or books house written inside the articles.

bye!
Francesco

Hi Francesco and welcome to XOOPS forums. Thanks for sharing that hack for the XFS module. Really glad you like the XOOPS CMS ... Let me give you a little warning, XOOPS grows on you and it can become addictive!!

Hope you find this forum helpful and a place to share further your ideas of XOOPS.

Richard

thanks.

I've always been microsoft-addicted, but i have to admit that the open-source world it's beginning to appeal me... :)
