Hi,

OK, I have the usual search form (as per Ingo's book ;) ), like so:

	function results($data, $form) {
		$results = $form->getResults(null, $data);		
		$searchQueryTitle = $form->getSearchQuery($data);

		$templateData = array(
			'Results' => $results,
			'SearchQueryTitle' => $searchQueryTitle,
			'Title' => 'Search Results'
		);
		return $this->customise($templateData)->renderWith(
			array('Page_results', 'Page')
		);
	}

Now, I would like to highlight the search term in the results by inserting some css class with a function like str_ireplace or similar. Anybody having experience with this, or can give some hints on how to proceed?

Thanks!

OK, I got a little bit further, but not quite. I added the following:

	function results($data, $form) {
		$results = $form->getResults(null, $data);		
		$searchQueryTitle = $form->getSearchQuery($data);

		$newSet = new DataObjectSet();
		foreach($results as $result) {
			$result = str_ireplace("$searchQueryTitle", "<span class=\"highlight\">$searchQueryTitle</span>", $result->Content);
			$newSet->push($result);
		}
				
		$templateData = array(
			'Results' => $newSet,
			'SearchQueryTitle' => $searchQueryTitle,
			'Title' => 'Search Results'
		);
		return $this->customise($templateData)->renderWith(
			array('Page_results', 'Page')
		);
	}

This gives me a blank page. When I change 'Results' => $newSet to 'Results' => $results again, of course it works in the old way (without highlighting). What is the magic that I'm missing? Thanks!

Nobody? Please? ;)

Hi!

You could get some inspiration by looking at the ContextSummary function in sapphire/core/model/fieldtypes/Text.php

By the way, if you find a custom solution for this or a method overloading ContextSummary I'll be happy to know about it (since I don't know how to do it myself).

Regards,
Juan

Well, yeah, that file I have perused already, initially. I didn't have much time to pursue the whole thing, of course I will post code when I solve it (or perhaps someone will beat me to it ;) )

Hi!

As I'm not good at PHP, I copied ContextSummary and added some improvements (?), since I had problems with encoded chars, stripped <br /> sticking words and results coming from blog entries including BBCode.

In Page class:

function MyContextSummary($characters = 500, $string = false, $striphtml = true, $highlight = true) {
		
	if(!$string) $string = $_REQUEST['Search'];	// Use the default "Search" request variable (from SearchForm)
	
	/*** Prepare Content ***/
	// Replace <br /> in order to get separate words
	$content = str_replace('<br />', ' ', $this->Content);
	// Decoding entities prevents XML validation error
	$content = html_entity_decode($content, ENT_COMPAT , 'UTF-8');
	// Remove HTML tags so we don't have to deal with matching tags
	$text = strip_tags($content);
	// Remove BBCode
	$pattern = '|[[\/\!]*?[^\[\]]*?]|si';
	$replace = '';
	$text = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $text);
	
	// Find the search string
	$position = (int) stripos($text, $string);
	
	// We want to search string to be in the middle of our block to give it some context
	$position = max(0, $position - ($characters / 2));

	if($position > 0) {
		// We don't want to start mid-word
		$position = max((int) strrpos(substr($text, 0, $position), ' '), (int) strrpos(substr($text, 0, $position), "\n"));
	}
	
	$summary = substr($text, $position, $characters);
	$stringPieces = explode(' ', $string);
		if($highlight) {
		// Add a span around all key words from the search term as well
		if($stringPieces) foreach($stringPieces as $stringPiece) {
			$summary = str_ireplace($stringPiece, "<span class=\"highlight\">$stringPiece</span>", $summary);
		}
	}

	return trim($summary);
}	

In Page_results.ss:

…
<% if Content %>
	<p>&hellip;$MyContextSummary(375)&hellip;</p>
<% else %>
…

For what is worth,
Juan

OK, so that works for you? When I find the time, I will look into it as well (using your example).

If it didn't worked I wouldn't have posted it…
