Hello,

I'm trying to understand how to display search results. I'm basically allowing the user to enter name of a player and then we will display information about that player.

Here is what I have:

private static $allowed_actions = array('ADLResultForm');

    public function ADLResultForm() {
        $fields = new FieldList (
            new TextField('Summoner')
        );
        $actions = new FieldList(
            new FormAction('seekPlayer', 'Search')
        );
        $form = new Form($this, 'ADLResultForm', $fields, $actions, $requiredFields);
        $requiredFields = new RequiredFields(array('Summoner'));
        $form->Fields()->dataFieldByName('Summoner')->addExtraClass('Summoner');
        return $form;
    }


function seekPlayer($data, $form, $request) {
        if(checkBadCharacters($data)){
            $summoners = ADLPlayer::get()->filter('SummonerTag', $data['Summoner']);
            $total = $summoners->Count();

            $list = new ArrayList();
            foreach($summoners as $summoner){
                $list-push(new ArrayData(array(
                'SummonerTag' => $summoner->SummonerTag,
                'Rating'=> $summoner->Rating,
                'MVPCount'=> $summoner->MVPCount,
                'GamesWon'=> $summoner->GamesWon,
                'GamesLost'=> $summoner->GamesLost,
                'LastPlayed'=> $summoner->LastPlayed
                )));
            }

            return $list;
        }
    }

I'm not fully understanding how this works. How do I grab the search results and throw them back to my page to be displayed, I don't understand how to pass the data without having to use sessions.

Could you also attach the template you're using for the search(result) page?

Rough guess: add a template that's rendered and loops the results maybe?

Well that is part of it, I don't understand how to grab and process this. Is what I wrote correct? Will that code pass the list to the template? If so how then do I call it from the template and loop it, how do I access the data inside the array?
