Re: [htdig] custom htsearch template

[Phil B. <ph...@ne...>]

Hi there Karyn,

For the implementation I am using, I've managed to use a full search 
wrapper.

You will need something like the following:-

search_results_wrapper: /path/to/wrapper.html

in your htdig.conf file. You will also need to do similar lines for the 
nomatch/incorrect syntax directives.

Within your wrapper.html, you can then include the special variables that 
are used with htsearch to populate the page with data, for example I have:-

<table>
  <tr>
    <td align="left">Documents $(FIRSTDISPLAYED) - $(LASTDISPLAYED) of 
$(MATCHES) matches.</td>
    <td width="40%">&nbsp;</td>
    <td align="right">$(PREVPAGE) $(PAGELIST) $(NEXTPAGE)</td>
  </tr>
</table>

$(HTSEARCH_RESULTS)
$(PAGEHEADER)
$(PREVPAGE) $(PAGELIST) $(NEXTPAGE)

In my wrapper.html - as well as a bunch of other design/layout code so that 
the look & feel of the site is not compromised.

I hope this helps,

Phil Barbier.

Subject: [htdig] custom htsearch template


Hi,

Does anyone have a good example of a custom results template?
I am trying to use the attribute template_patterns in my config file to 
create a custom template to match the look and feel of one of my sites.
The best I've been able to do puts in the default header page, then instead 
of the body substitutes my custom template, then the footer looks correct.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Karyn
