Adding livesearch functionality to non-plugin search form

Post by yellowled »

In 2k11, I use a "non-plugin" search form hardcoded into the template to make up for the non-HTML5 markup emitted by the quicksearch plugin. However, this will not "adapt" functionality added by plugins to the quicksearch sidebar plugin like i.e. livesearch.

Is there a way to add i.e. livesearch functionality to hardcoded search forms? Some kind of hook I can use?

Hi!

The generate_content() of the quicksearch plugin uses the eventhook "quicksearch_plugin", so you should be able to hook that in smarty as well (probably using hookAll=true).

Note though that the livesearch plugin (which is the only plugin using that hook) emits code that relies on the input search field having the DOM ID "#serendipityQuickSearchTermField" and the <form> tag surround it needs to be called "#searchform".

HTH,

Hm, I have:

Code: Select all

{serendipity_hookPlugin hook="quicksearch_plugin" hookAll="true"}
after the code for the search form. So if I understand you correctly, it probably just does not work now because 2k11 doesn't use the ids you mentioned?

Hi!

Yes, if the IDs do not match it will definitely not work.
