vs.flexigridsearch 0.2.1

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)

Usage

• visit the http://host:port/path/to/plone/custom_search URL for your site

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:

    • getId (this should be always included if you want a clickable link to the content object)
