Hi!
I need to add search function to the content browse admin of an object relation attribute. Everything ok, except that i can't filter search by class id. The $browse variable have the class name, but not the class_id of the object relation. How can i get the class_id of the object relation?
For example, if i can only relation objects of class foo, i have to search all objects, i can't only search for foo objects.
Thanks in advance,
David.

Hello David
Are you using $browse.class_array? It indeed is an array with content class identifiers. And the content/search fetch function expects an ID or an array of ID's.
You can loop over the $browse.class_array, fetch the class and build an array with class id's:
{def $classIDList=array()} {foreach $browse.class_array as $classIdentifier} {def $class=fetch('content', 'class', hash( 'class_id', $classIdentifier ))} {set $classIDList=$classIDList|append($class.id)} {undef $class} {/foreach} {* place search code here *} {undef $classIDList}
Can you share your template when it's finished? That would be a nice contribution ;-)

Your solution works perfect. I upload the template to http://ez.no/community/contribs/hacks/search_form_in_admin_content_browse_tpl
One thing more, how can i override this template?

Do you want to replace the default one with yours from inside an extension?
Or do you want to override it when certain conditions are met? See http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/template_override_conditions content/browse.tpl
