No search results from searchbar chelsea theme

[asimakos]

Hello again!

I have installed chelsea theme (FarCry Core), but unfortunately when i use the searchbar no results are returned.

Perhaps this searchbar will be afterwards valuable to me for my new content type. Any idea how to fix it and also include my new content type within its search scope.

The /search URL should find the packages/forms/dmSimpleSearch content type alias "search" and then render the webskins/dmSimpleSearch/displayTypeBody.cfm view (since this is a view on the type, rather than a view on an object instance). For it to return a 404 is a little odd.

Instead of relying on the friendly URL you can try to go to the search page directly with a URL like this;
/index.cfm?type=dmSimpleSearch&view=displayPageStandard&bodyview=displayTypeBody

If that works, then there is a friendly URL issue with /search that would need to be debugged.

The basic search implementation is a simple SQL like search, it's not ideal for a large production site but useful for demo purposes or small sites. You can modify packages/forms/dmSimpleSearch.cfc to add more functionality. For larger sites we usually lean on a search engine like SOLR or AWS Cloudsearch (there are plugins for those, but there is complexity that goes with it).

Fortunately, it's a friendly URL issue.

Any idea how i proceed with debug=1 as i get no feedback by using it?

Hello!
According to your recent proposal for /search URL friendly issue, i just found the following entry (same friendly url search issue with mine) https://discourse.farcrycore.org/t/closed-chelsea-sample-project-search-is-broken-post-install/352
Is that right or not?

Ahhh right, that means it was a Core bug. If you update "core" to the head of the p720 branch (7.2 maintenance branch) it should resolve the issue.

Is there a standard procedure via webtop that I have to follow and how? I just found the correct article to do it carefully
https://discourse.farcrycore.org/t/upgrade-from-7-1-0-to-7-1-3/489/2
Is that right or not?

Thanks a lot for your help.

I just updated successfully farcry core to a new version (7.2.x - core files only), where i have now got additional webtop opportunities via appropriate menus. Unfortunately /search url friendly problem still remains. Do you mind if i could send you my farcry core files in order to take a closer look? That would help me a lot!

I send you the link (https://we.tl/t-OHlO8Cm4cI) in order to get a better view of my specific problem.

Unfortunately i tried both options (Site Navigation) and Rebuild Friendly URL via admin, but nothing happened. Problem still remains and i do not know what to do.

[asimakos]

Nothing happened again!

You have friendly URLs setup in your web server right? Apache or IIS rewrite rules are setup?

[asimakos]

Unfortunately i do not use either Apache or IIS as i come from Cfwheels - Framework One (fw/1) background where Commandbox is a necessary tool. I use the following configuration without --rewritesEnable option.

My urlrewrite.xml for Lucee is the following:

OK well, I guarantee that is your problem. You have no rules setup to help FarCry convert the friendly urls. I've not used commandbox so I don't know how to tell you to change that rewrite rule, but just looking at it, it is not compatible with FC's friendly URLs system. Compare those to the friendly URL schemes in the farcry documentation

[asimakos]

I think that it should be a way to do it with Commandbox. Is there any way to revert /search back to non friendly url? I have not used FU plugin yet and i think if i do it i will have got problem or not?

set application.fc.factory.farFU.turnOff(); in a file called <project root>/config/_serverSpecificAfterInit.cfm

this will tell FC to use no friendly URLs when building URLs

[seancoyne]

if you want to use friendly urls you can try:

adding farcry|webtop to the pipe delimited list in your first rewrite condition and then change the <from> and <to> sections to this:

<from>^([a-zA-Z0-9\/\-\%\+:\[\]\{\}\|\;\<\>\?\,\*\!\@\#\$\ \(\)\^_`~]*)$</from>
<to type="passthrough">/index.cfm?furl=$1</to>

I haven't used Tuckey for rewrites but these are what I use for Apache and it looks to use a similar regex syntax.
