In the member profile when you search for all enties by member,

the results goes to this link:

/index.php/search/results/

but I want it to go here:

index.php/news/search_results/

Here is the code from the member templates…

<a href=”{search_path}&status=open|front_feature|front_headline|front_trailers|archive”>

does anyone know how to make the search results to go to the alternate results path?

EDIT:  I found this wiki entry, I’ve tried, but it does not seem to work. 

http://expressionengine.com/wiki/extending_View_all_posts_by_this_member/

Has something changed?
Thanks

From that page

For example, to change the results page

<a href="http://{search_path}&result_page=news/searches"><b>{lang:view_posts_by_member}</b></a>

so if you want it to go to search_results, what happens if you try

<a href="http://{search_path}&result_page=news/search_results"><b>{lang:view_posts_by_member}</b></a>

</code></pre>

Thanks for checking in Derek -

strangely, it has no effect and goes to the default page.

I am making the edit from the control panel here:

Thanks

I’m sorry.  Change “result_page” to “result_path”.  I’ll fix up the wiki now.

YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!!! Thanks so much Derek!

I’m also trying to limit on weblog. You can see the code as follows:

<a href=”{search_path}&result_path=news/search_results&weblog=news”>

but it doesnt seem to take the weblog parameter.

Do you have any ideas on this?

Unfortunately, in the member section you’re in, it looks like you’re limited to member, results page, keywords, and exact match.  You could make a feature request for flexibility in the member pages if you want though.

Glad I could help out.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I can do a work-around by filtering on status which thankfully does work too.

I know i’m pushing my luck here, but on my results page, the heading displays the item searched on, which works if the user searches on something, but in the case of searching on an author, it puts in the number like this…

We found 6 results for “2”

Can I somehow translate 2 into the username?

Yes, but it will take some custom PHP, or a custom query to run.  exp_members holds both the member id and the screen name of your members.  Sorry I can’t help you out with that though.

thanks for pointing me in the right direction with that!

Thanks for all your help.
