View Search Logs

Hi Djulia,

Yes it's possible. We may need to add a plugin hook for it but we can do that.

The first step would be to identify which urls to log. We could add a plugin hook to _createDefaultWhereWithFormInput() in the viewer_functions.php file that passed back an array of fieldnames being search and keywords. Would that work?

You might not want to log everything, though, for example num = 1.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,

Yes, that would be well !

The idea is to obtain a tool of decision and to direct the contents so necessary (...)

You think of being able to create the plugin ?

Thanks, Djulia

Hi Djulia,

I've been thinking about this more and I think it might be better to add on the page that does the searching.

How many search pages do you have (just one?)

And what information do you want recorded to the database? (fields searched, keyword used, matches returned?)

Hi Dave,

I have a search form for each section (sale house, sale appartment, rentals appartment...).
But, the form is identical for each section :
-----------------------------------------------------------
<form name="" method="" action="">
<label>Keyword : </label>
<input type="text" name="zip_code,sector,title,content" />

<label>City : </label>
<input type="text" name="city_keyword,zip_code,sector_keyword" />

<label>Price :</label>
<select name="prix_min">
<option value="0">30.000</option>
<option value="100000">100.000</option>
<option value="200000">200.000</option>
...
</select>
</form>
-----------------------------------------------------------

I would like to obtain the key word used for the fields Keyword and/or City.
It would be well, in the ideal, to obtain the price, but it is less important and that must complicate the plugin ?

The idea to obtain the matches returned is also very interesting.

It would be a good tool of statistics !

Thanks for the feedback, Djulia

Hi Djulia,

I think the simplest solution for this case might be to custom code something for your specific page rather than have a generic plugin.

What about something like this:

$keywordFieldnames = array();
$keywordFieldnames[] = 'zip_code,sector,title,content';
$keywordFieldnames[] = 'city_keyword,zip_code,sector_keyword';
$keywordFieldnames[] = 'prix_min';

foreach ($keywordFieldnames as $fieldname) {
$keyword = @$_REQUEST[$fieldname];
if (!$keyword) { continue; }

// add code here to insert $keyword into database
// ...
}

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,

Thanks ! That is for me the best approach.

That is very flexible and adapts very easily to the various needs.

Thank you very much !
