"Search in..." option display categories of every

[francois]

Hello,

In the search page you can use the option "Search in ..." and choose the folder in which you want make a search.

The select field display all the categories of all the languages.
If i am under the English part, i have the french categories too.

You need to have only the categories of the language you are using.

If it is a feature, is it possible to display only categories fo the current language ? And i can do that ?

Hi,

If it is a feature, is it possible to display only categories fo the current language ? And i can do that ?

it's a supposed to be a feature (the search is perfomed upon any faq w/o any constraint on the language) but we're interested in examing scenarios in which this feature (the search over all faq contents) becomes something like a "bug".

If you want to limit the categories list to those ones for the current language, locate, backup and open the [PATH_TO_PMFINSTALL]/search.php file and move the lines below from:

Code: Select all

// HACK: (re)evaluate the Category object w/o passing the user language
//       so the result set of a Search will have the Category Path
//       for any of the multilanguage faq records and the Category list
//       on the left pane will not be affected
$tree = new Category();
$tree->transform(0);

to:

Code: Select all

// HACK: (re)evaluate the Category object w/o passing the user language
//       so the result set of a Search will have the Category Path
//       for any of the multilanguage faq records and the Category list
//       on the left pane will not be affected
//$tree = new Category();
//$tree->transform(0);

and then you need to modify the searchEngine() function in order to limit the search result set to the current language: locate, backup and open the [PATH_TO_PMFINSTALL]/inc/functions.php and move these lines below from:

Code: Select all

...
    global $db, $sids, $tree, $PMF_LANG, $PMF_CONF;
...
    if ('%' == $category) {
        $cond = array(SQLPREFIX."faqdata.active" => "'yes'");
    } else {
        $cond = array(SQLPREFIX."faqdata.active" => "'yes'",
                      SQLPREFIX."faqcategoryrelations.category_id" => $category);
    }
...

to:

Code: Select all

...
    global $db, $sids, $tree, $PMF_LANG, $PMF_CONF, $LANGCODE;
...
    if ('%' == $category) {
        $cond = array(SQLPREFIX."faqdata.active" => "'yes'", "faqdata.lang" => $LANGCODE);
    } else {
        $cond = array(SQLPREFIX."faqdata.active" => "'yes'",
                      "faqdata.lang" => $LANGCODE,
                      SQLPREFIX."faqcategoryrelations.category_id" => $category);
    }
...

Thanks in advance for any feedback coming from your multilanguage scenarios.

No pb, if i have any other feedback about my multilanguage i will send it to you.

Thanks!
We're evaluating if the behaviour you've requested should be the default behaviour without hacking (a little bit) the code as reported above.
A reason against your request is that you cannot have the possibility of letting the user propose a translation for a faq (a feature that will be coded into PMF 2.0.x) just 'cause he couldn't simply see other then a single language faq set.

Any hint from the community to let us take the right decision will be appreciated .

Matteo
