Plone search results through flexigrid

Project description

vs.flexigridsearch

vs.flexigridsearch provides a drop-in replacement to 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

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.
