Hi,   Anybody know if there is documentation or a list of the parameters available for passing to the default common.widget.search-form component?   I was only able to locate these: hideGranular...

    Hi,

     

    the standard search widget usually searches results based on the node it's being rendered in. So - if it's rendered on the community page, it will search at community level. If it's rendered on a category page , it will search within that category and on a blog page within that blog etc ...

     

    One configuration element that can be used is 

     

    defaultToCommunity=true

    To default the search on all the community. I don't think at the moment there is configuration available to force a search within a particular board - this would have to be a customization possibly. For example, look at the URL parameters available in the search result page http://community.lithium.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?location=board%3Alithiumblog&q=search&search_type=thread&filter=labels%2Clocation (this is a search for a term on the Lithium's views blog) - you may be able to construct a widget based on that.

     

    Alternatively - you can get in touch with Lithium Professional Services to help you in scoping and delivering this.

     

    Thanks,

if anyone comes looking, you can override common.widget.search-form@override and add this JavaScript. This will scope it to the particular forum.

<@liaAddScript>
;(function($){

  var nodeType = "${coreNode.nodeType}";

  if (nodeType === "board") {
   var boardId = "${coreNode.id}";

   var inputFormFilter = '<input name="filter" value="location" type="hidden">';
   var inputFormLocation = '<input name="location" value="board:' + boardId + '" type="hidden">';
   $('form[action*="searchform.form.form"]').append(inputFormFilter).append(inputFormLocation);
  }

})(LITHIUM.jQuery)
</@liaAddScript>

<@delegate />

gstelang where would this type of script go? In a custom component, or just anywhere on the page where you want to override the context of the search component or elsewhere?
