More than one search field?
23 December 2009 at 2:21pm Last edited: 23 December 2009 2:26pm
Hi guys,
I'm trying to add two search fields onto my site-one in the header and one in the footer. (To have valid HTML, I need them to have different ID tags; hence why I duplicated the code.) The search field in the header works fine, however, the one in the footer does not.
mysite/code/Page.php
class Page_Controller extends ContentController {
...
function SearchForm() {
$searchText = isset($this->Query) ? $this->Query : 'Search';
$fields = new FieldSet(
new TextField("Search", "Search", $searchText)
);
$actions = new FieldSet(
new FormAction('results', 'Search')
);
return new SearchForm($this, "SearchForm", $fields, $actions);
}
function Searchformfooter() {
$searchText = isset($this->Query) ? $this->Query : 'Search';
$fields = new FieldSet(
new TextField("SearchFooter", "Search", $searchText)
);
$actions = new FieldSet(
new FormAction('results', 'Search')
);
return new SearchForm($this, "Searchformfooter", $fields, $actions);
}
function results($data, $form){
$data = array(
'Results' => $form->getResults(),
'Query' => $form->getSearchQuery(),
'Title' => 'Search Results'
);
$this->Query = $form->getSearchQuery();
return $this->customise($data)->renderWith(array('Page_results', 'Page'));
}...
}
Any suggestions on how to get them both working?

In this line:
new TextField("SearchFooter", "Search", $searchText)
You have set the field id to SearchFooter. I believe the SearchForm::getResults expects it to be named "Search". Lemme know if that's it

Well, if I change "SearchFooter" back to "Search", then I run into the initial problem of having two of the same ID tags on the page; a nono with HTML validation (I received a validation error like #IDs are more specific, .class should be used instead...)
Line 224, Column 13: ID "Search" already defined
<div id="Search" class="field text "><label class="left" for="SearchForm_Sear
An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).
I need at least one of the two IDs to be different. By changing it to "SearchFooter" I was able to get a different ID, at the expense of the search not working.
:/
There has to be a way to define another search field...I just don't know how. Thanks for trying!!

You're right, that first param gets passed into the ID.
So maybe create another class FooterSearchForm extending SearchForm, redefine getResults to get the $keywords from proper place:
$keywords = $data['SearchFooter'];
and then use that field in your footer search form. I'm not sure if that's the "right" solution though
return new FooterSearchForm($this, "Searchformfooter", $fields, $actions);
