Is there a way to make this multi-search case insensitive?

Dave,
In the code below, you'll see the last $searchTables is for searching information related to photos. I'd like to make my photo's upload "info1 & info2" fields searchable, so people can search for photos based on the photo's title and caption. I've tried to get this work, but I'm doing something wrong. Can you shed a little light on what needs to be done to this code to get the "info1 & info2" data I'm using in my photo title and captions to appear in the search form results.

Thanks, Zick

Hi Zickey,

The image information for a picture is actually stored in the uploads table, not in the section with the upload field. You could try something similar to this:

list($imageRecords,$imageMetaData)=getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'uploads',
'allowSearch' => false,
'where' => "tableName = 'photos' AND (LOWER(info1) LIKE '%".mysql_escape(strtolower(@$FORM['q']))."%' OR LOWER(info1) LIKE '%".mysql_escape(strtolower(@$FORM['q']))."%')",
));


Hope this helps

Re: [richo] MultiSearch

Hi Richo,

The php.ini changes you're looking for are not on the CMS Builder level. They're on the web host level.

The default upload size is usually limited to 2mb by the host to prevent misuse of their resources

Ask your webhost to increase the the post_max_size and the upload_max_filesize to something like 60mb and that should cover you for videos and other large files as well.

Most really good hosts will accommodate.


Hope that helps sort things out.

Hey Jason,
I tired your solution, to search the upload info1 fields, but it's giving me a notice message:

list($imageRecords,$imageMetaData)=getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'uploads',
'allowSearch' => false,
'where' => "tableName = 'photos' AND (LOWER(info1) LIKE '%".mysql_escape(strtolower(@$FORM['q']))."%' OR LOWER(info1) LIKE '%".mysql_escape(strtolower(@$FORM['q']))."%')",
));


Notice: Undefined index: listPageOrder in /home/content/00/1230000/html/cms/lib/viewer_functions.php on line 70


Any suggestions on how to get this working?

Hi,

You should be able to get around that issue by putting something in the orderBy clause. Try this:

list($imageRecords,$imageMetaData)=getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'uploads',
'allowSearch' => false,
'where' => "tableName = 'photos' AND (LOWER(info1) LIKE '%".mysql_escape(strtolower(@$FORM['q']))."%' OR LOWER(info1) LIKE '%".mysql_escape(strtolower(@$FORM['q']))."%')",
'orderBy' => "`order`",
'loadUploads' => false,
'loadCreatedBy' => false,
));


Hope this helps

Is it possible to search a second tier category (excluding the first tier) using MultiSearch, thereby the search results only displays tier two category results and ignores the top tier categories?
$searchTables['news'] = array(
'viewerUrl' => 'news_details.php',
'titleField' => 'title',
'summaryField' => 'content',
'searchFields' => array('title','content'),

$searchTables['business_listings'] = array(
'viewerUrl' => 'business_listing_details.php',
'titleField' => 'name',
'summaryField' => 'content',
'searchFields' => array('name','content'),
'categoryFormat' => twolevel',
);

Hi Zick,

There currently isn't any support for that in multiSearch. However, if you needed to do that, you could filter out non-2nd Level records when outputting results since all 2nd level Records have a value of "1" in their "depth" field.

Hope this helps

Hi guys,

i'm trying to do a multisearch page but i can't understand how search fields works.

Here is my code:
//SEARCH CODE

$searchOptions = array();
$searchOptions['keywords'] = @$FORM['q'];
$searchOptions['perPage'] = "15";
$searchOptions['debugSql'] = "0";

$searchTables = array();

$searchTables['thome'] = array(
'viewerUrl' => 'index.php',
'titleField' => 'title',
'summaryField' => 'text',
'searchFields' => array('text'),
);

$searchTables['history'] = array(
'viewerUrl' => 'history.php',
'titleField' => 'title',
'summaryField' => 'text',
'searchFields' => array('title','text'),
);

$searchTables['news'] = array(
'viewerUrl' => 'news.php',
'titleField' => 'title',
'summaryField' => 'text',
'searchFields' => array('title','text'),
);

list($searchRows, $searchDetails) = searchMultipleTables($searchTables, $searchOptions);

$searchRow = @$searchRows[0];


<form method="post" action="/search.php">
<input type="text" name="q" value="" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" class="submit" />
</form>

<?php foreach ($searchRows as $record): ?>
<p><a href="<?php echo $record['_link']; ?>" title="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($record['title']); ?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($record['title']); ?></a></p>
<?php endforeach; ?>



My questions:

Is possible to set form search field with multiple keywords?
e.x: <input type="text" name="preview_text,text,type,line,meta_description" value="" />
$searchOptions['keywords'] = @$FORM['preview_text,text,type,line,meta_description'];

I dont understand how works these params:
'titleField' => 'title',
'summaryField' => 'text',

I'm getting error Undefined index: title. Please help me a little.

Thank you, regards!

Once again you've helped me a lot.

Now I have to get the last step, extract images from the news that match the search.


Great! Thank you Jason.
