Structure 2.0 - how to add a field for search exerpt??

2010-02-10T09:01:50-06:00

EE 1.6.8

I’ve built a site using structure 2.0.

I’m not sure if this is a structure ting or not, but I want to have a default field for search results in each weblog that is structure enabled.

When I go to admin > weblog Administration > weblog management > Administrative Preferences > Which field should be used for search excerpt? is a drop down list with nothing to select.

Am I missing something fundamental here?

Thanks
Peter

Structure: Different main nav for member groups

2010-02-16T15:01:20-06:00

I’m planning to use Structure to manage my site. The catch is, the main nav will be different for different members. Visitors without an account or a basic account will se one nav. Members who are approved to be part of the highest member group will see a different main nav.

The basic nav is very basic…just 3 static pages:
About us
What we do
How to Join

The full nav will be different:
Blog
programs
community
resources
Admin Tools

I was planning to set up Structure with the following as my parent ‘main nav’ entriess:

About (child entries will be main nav)
-about us
-What we do
-How to Join
Blog
Programs (child entries will be a drop down list in the main nav)
-core programs
-short term projects
-long term projects
Community
-member directory
-calendar
-forums
Resources
-wiki
-links
Admin Tools
-account info
-personnel

I imagine I could use a condition to say:
If logged out then this structure code, if logged in then this code (starting with Blog)

Which tag will do that?

Structure: nav_sub start_from issue.

2010-02-23T11:35:45-06:00

I can’t explain what is going on but when i use this tag:

{exp:structure:nav_sub start_from="/services/creative" css_id="test_only" css_class="test_only" } 

I get this code:

<ul id="test_only" class="test_only">
</ul>
</li>
<li class="sub_level_-1 last"><a href="http://localhost/services/creative/">Creative</a></li></ul> 

Something went afoul but i don’t know what. The <li> isn’t even inside the <ul> and the sub_level is -1. It should be rendering all subpages of creative something like this:

<ul id="test_only" class="test_only">
<li class="sub_level_0"><a href="#">Graphic</a></li>
<li class="sub_level_1"><a href="#">Print</a></li>
<li class="sub_level_2"><a href="#">Web</a></li>
<li class="sub_level_3"><a href="#">Interactive</a></li>
</ul> 

Structure pagination problems

2010-03-09T22:23:53-06:00

I’m trying to use Structure’s pagination feature and I can’t get it to work. In fact, nothing displays on the page for pagination at all. I plugged in the example exactly as it’s displayed on the Structure site, I have my .htaccess file set up as it’s described on the Structure site. I can’t seem to figure out where to start troubleshooting. There’s no html generated for the pagination links at all. Here’s the code I’m using:

{exp:structure:paginate parse="inward"}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{embed:weblog_title}" status="open" dynamic="off" limit="{embed:list_limit}" url_title="{embed:url_title}"}
<article>
    <section class="{if segment_1 == "blog"}entry_ex{if:elseif segment_1 == "research_teach"}teach_ex{/if}">
    <time>{entry_date format="%F %j, %Y"}</time>
    <h3><a href="{page_url}">{title}</a></h3>    
    {general_excerpt}
    <a href="{page_uri}" class="more">Keep Reading...</a>    
    </section>
</article>

New Module: Geofinder - Location based searching for weblog entries and members

2009-09-08T10:45:14-06:00

A module for location based searching of ExpressionEngine entries and members.

You can find out more details on our blog:
http://natural-logic.com/blog/article/announcing-geofinder-for-expressionengine/

New Version 1.1 Update

- Now, in addition to location based searching for weblog entries—we’ve added location based searching for members. This opens the door for all kinds of interesting ideas.
- Inspired by our international friends, you can now search by miles or kilometers. A new parameter “distance_mode” allows you to pass in “miles” or “km” and the rest is taken care of by Geofinder.
- Lastly, just for kicks, we added a new tag that allows you to geocode addresses from within templates. This could come in handy when you need to do AJAX operations to geocode location data, batch geocoding data or whatever clever ideas you can think of. Since this is template code, you are in total control of the output format (JSON, XML, HTML).
