Plone search results through flexigrid
Project description
vs.flexigridsearch
vs.flexigridsearch provides a drop-in replacement for the search.pt template of Plone 3/4. The search results are presented as a sortable table using the jQuery flexigrid plugin.
Installation
add vs.flexigridsearch to the eggs option of your buildout configuration and re-run buildout
create a new Plone site using the related Plone3 or Plone 4 extension profile of vs.flexigridsearch
or import the related profile for an existing Plone site through portal_setup (Import tab) (there are dedicatd profiles for Plone 3 and Plone 4 since we need different flexigrid versions due to different jQuery versions in Plone 3 and 4).
Usage
no special usage: perform a search and the result should be rendered using the flexgrid jQuery add-on.
Configuration
vs.flexigridsearch uses a property sheet under portal_properties/flexigridsearch_properties for its configuration:
portalTypesToSearch - a list of portal types to be searched (a future version of the software will use the configuration of Plone)
sort_limit - maximum number of hits to be retrieved from portal_catalog. The parameter name is kind of misleading but the portal_catalog will really limit the number of returned rows
columns - defines the columns of the flexigrid table. In general vs.flexigridsearch can support all searchable indexes of the portal_catalog:
Title (this should be always included if you want a clickable link to the content object)
Description
getId
created
Creator
start
end
effective
expires
location
Subject
getObjSize
review_state
portal_type
Requirements
tested with Plone 3.3.X, 4.0.X
not compatible with Plone 4.2 or higher
Translations
Due to the lack of a proper i18n framework in Plone we provide our own home-grown i18n translation functionality in skins/vs_flexigridsearch/vs_flexigridsearch_translations.js. Please add your translations directly here. If you want to contribute translations for other languages then please make the changes directly in the collective SVN.
