Works great, been waiting weeks to find a solution to that :)

 

Thank you so much

Thanks so much for this solution...working perfectly :)

I would also like to include an items extra fields in the Joomla search results.

Any idea how i might do this?

Many thanks, Emily

You saw where i added the extra field to the main query. There you can prepare extra variables. (i had to add the images to the results only).

Hi There,

 

I've signed up to say a massive thank you to jjozsika who solved the exact same problem that I had!

 

For anyone who may be stuggling to find the default_results.php file, it can be found in different locations, mine was:

 

components/com_search/views/search/tmpl

 

Also, whilst on the topic of searching, does anyone know how to modify the search results screen?

 

I.e Remove:

 

Search Keyword:         SearchAll words Any words Exact PhraseSearch Only:Activities Other group



I too am using K2 search filter

Ok,

 

Many thanks jjozika.

 

We now know how to put images on search results. Nonetheless It would be the ultimate help if you or someone could explain us newbies how to do the same with other extra fields, i.e. I understand we just need to put the field name like: $query = "            SELECT i.id,            i.title,            i.metadesc,

... but I'm not so clear about what to put on the default_results.php ? 

 

Can you help us please?

 

Many thanks in advance...

 

Francis

 

ps: Why would JA guys make the dificult part only to en up before developing the easyer part, i.e. costumizable results display... 

How do you add images to search if you are just using K2 Tools Search and not Joomlart?

Nevermind, I figured it out:

In this file:  /plugins/search/k2.php

add the id to the SELECT query (It has the SQL query with binary search, you have to add the id field to the selected list:

add the id field name):

$query = "             SELECT i.id,             i.title,             i.metadesc,

 

In this file:  /components/com_search/views/search/tmpl/default_results.php

AFTER THIS SECTION(or where you want to position the image) :

if ( $result->section ) : ?><br /><span class="small<?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('pageclass_sfx')); ?>">(<?php echo $this->escape($result->section); ?>)</span><?php endif; ?><?php endif; ?></div>

 

ADD THIS:

<?php             $row = './media/k2/items/cache/'.md5("Image".$result->id).'_S.jpg';             if(file_exists($row))             echo "<img src=\"$row\">"; ?>

Hi,

 

This is kind of related but not entirely the same ... does anyone know how you return $result->text; for extra fields? Basically I want my search results to have the snippet of text with the highlighted keywords for content that is in extra fields. Currently it is returning the matching item but not with the snippet.

 

Anyone know how to fix this?

and i try to find how i can show extra fields value in search result...

 

Anyone know how i can do it?

I am struggling to find a solution Sotrek. Really not sure why it wouldn't work when it returns the item but no snippet?
