vs.flexigridsearch 0.1.1

Plone 3 search results through flexigrid

vs.flexigridsearch

vs.flexigridsearch provides a replacement to the extended search of Plone. The search results are presented as a sortable table using the jQuery flexigrid plugin.

Usage

• visit the http://host:port/path/to/plone/custom_search URL for your site

Configuration

• vs.flexigridsearch uses a property sheet under portal_properties/flexigridsearch_properties for its configuration:

  • portalTypesToSearch - a list of portal types to be searched (a future version of the software will use the configuration of Plone)

  • sort_limit - maximum number of hits to be retrieved from portal_catalog. The parameter name is kind of misleading but the portal_catalog will really limit the number of returned rows

  • columns - defines the columns of the flexigrid table. In general vs.flexigridsearch can support all searchable indexes of the portal_catalog:

    • getId

    • Description

    • Title

    • created

    • Creator

    • start

    • end

    • effective

    • expires

    • location

    • Subject

    • getObjSize

    • review_state

    • portal_type

Requirements

• tested with Plone 3.3.X

• untested with Plone 4.0
