hi,

I have to customize the advanced search. In fact, I have to search in writing a word attributs of differents class and different sections.
for example, I created 2 differents class:
qualif(name, word, expert, float)
expert(name, nickname, description)

First I write a word ond I have to search this word in the qualif class. (no problem). But in the same time, I have to the search in the expert's class. And I do achieve it...........

I need help.
I have look the template advanced search, searchresult and search.
It is possible to do that: For example, when the first search is finish and the resul is shows by the searchresult.tpl I put the same code than advanced search at the end of the searchresult.tpl?

thank's.

Hi,

I'm wondering if you have read my answer to your previous post on the same issue

It follows
----------------------------------------------

You have at least two ways of doing it

Using Template fecth function :

http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/reference/modules/content/fetch_functions/search

This way you have to create and program the search form yourself

or you can use EZP custom search box (a further
development of ezp advanced search implementation )

http://ez.no/products/ez_publish_cms/documentation/customization/components/search/custom_search_box

I would recommend you this second way, because it is easier to implement, and lets you reuse ezp advanced search mechanism with a bit of programming for "attribute based search", when you are done with this overriding the ezp advanced search template is only a matter of creating a template view (advanced search does support it)

To understand how to create template views you can follow this links http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/concepts_and_basics/modules_and_views
