Hi.

I have two weblogs ‘Region’ & ‘Constituency’. Constituency contains a custom field called ‘region-link’ (searchable relationship field) that I have used to link each constituency with a region.

I have added a search to my site so that users can search by constituency to find their region.

How I would like the results to appear…

Searching for: ‘Poole’ found 1 results.

Poole can be found in the region of Dorset (link on ‘Dorset’)

...I appear to be unable to display the Region (Dorset in the eg above) using the following code. I just get a number appear but can’t see what it’s related to.

<h2>Search results:</h2>
<p>Searching for: <b>{exp:search:keywords}</b> found {exp:search:total_results} results.</p>

<p>{exp:search:search_results id="region"}</p>

<p>{title} can be found in region: <a href="http://{auto_path}">{region-link}</a><br />
{/exp:search:search_results}</p>

<p>{embed="includes/footer"}

This is my search code:

{exp:search:simple_form weblog="region|constituency" status="open" result_page="/search-results" search_in="everywhere"}
<label for="keywords">Search</label>
<input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywords" size="20" maxlength="50" />
<input id="search-button" name="submit" value="submit" alt="search" type="image" src="/images/search-btn.png" /></p>
{/exp:search:simple_form}

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Hi honey4d,

The number that is returned is the relationship ID. This value is what is passed into the {related_entries} tag pair using the id parameter in the weblog entries tag but this is not available in the search results tag.

Cheers

Thanks Greg

Is there a way that I can make the region appear in the results? Or, could I somehow add a hack to the auto_path to link it to the region in which the constituency belongs?

i.e….

mywebsite.org.uk/poole (constituency page which does not contain any content)

redirects to..

mywebsite.org.uk/dorset

Thanks
Jon

I was able to get this working by using the related_entries pair:

{exp:search:search_results}

{title} can be found in region: 

{related_entries id="region"}
<a href="http://{auto_path}">{region-link}</a><br>
{/related_entries}

{/exp:search:search_results}

Does this help?

Thank you. I changed the id to the relationship field and displayed the {title} and it works.

{exp:search:search_results}
{title} can be found in region:
{related_entries id="region-link"}
<a href="http://{auto_path}">{title}</a><br>
{/related_entries}
{/exp:search:search_results}

The auto_path link is broken but I think I can fix that.

Thanks again. Jon

No problem, if you still have issues, please feel free to post again 😊
