This plugin has been added to the subversion repository: http://coppermine.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/coppermine/branches/cpg1.4.x/plugins/active_search

It has been updated as well to reflect the version checking routines in the plugin manager that are meant to make sure that galleries don't break because of plugins installed that aren't meant for that particular version of the gallery.

i get a 500 internal server error when i hit install button

but when click search link does it suppose to look like this? :

[Sami]

try new one

[searchforme]

ok it works now.. i was just never able to find this tho :

"Configure plugin using button on Admin toolbar."



i was never able to find the button on Admin toolbar, was it suppose to have a button of its own ?

[Sami]

Not at this version , sorry it's beta version Yet!
I'll remove that notice,
Thank you for testing

[searchforme]

a couple of things.. im able to find albums. no matter where i am on my gallery. but i caint find 'files'
i always get no results, even if im in the same album as the file. i tried the exact file name etc.

& secondly , the search bar is on every page.. even when im on 'config' page as the admin

[Sami]

Yes it loads on every pages , think of it as a header object that comes with menu items
can you post a link to your gallery?
I want to test search file ...

maybe instead of header it can be footer? or something? dunno up to you im just thinking outloud. im  trying to think of a way to make sure the gallery stays pretty to the eye..

edit-
foundt another bug.. when i log out I cant log back in. the login button wont work, im using netscape 8.1.3 using the firefox engine.... and same goes for regular search. if i were to click on 'search' at top right.. type in what i wanna search for.. & press the button , nothin happens

edit -
yea.. i had to uninstall the active search. to log back in as admin. & now i re-installed it so you can check it out

[Sami]

Search files is working type "d" , it search image's title and you didn't have title for most images

If you try it with classic theme or any other standard theme then you don't have login issue
I'll add a setting option for positioning to stable version

Hi Sami,

attached french.php file for your plugin 

but i have a problem with your plugin, it doesn't work on my gallery
Did i miss something ?

[Sami]

I've got XML parse error !
this plugin use js & xml but it seems your server doesn't like simple xml format , maybe I should validate it
thanks for comment and language

[François Keller]

oups, forgotten to attach french.php file :-\
Just another thing, can you include button name and label in the language file (search, albums, files) for the stable version ?

[Sami]

sure I will

[searchforme]

oh yeah. for most my images i have no picture titles  , i did type in 'd' & it worked

[Sami]

@Frantz: it seems that the probelm is on your side !
XML code created by cpls.php is valid !
Do you have any other XML on your server ?

[François Keller]

I don't know. How can i find this out ?
(if you want i can send you an admin login/password by PM)
But I had the same problem on my local server (wamp5) :-\

[Davide Renda]

working like a charm on my modded gallery 1.4.10 - great work Sami!!
Italian translation attached

[Sami]

@ Frants:
Can you try this:
Edit cpls.php and change this

Code Select Expand


header("Content-Type: text/xml");
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?><results>";


To this:

Code Select Expand


header("Content-Type:text/xml;charset=utf-8");
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><results>';


and also if those doesn't help then try

Code Select Expand


header('Content-Type: application/xml;charset=utf-8');
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><results>';


and let me know the result

@Lontano: thanks for translation and thanks for feedback

[François Keller]

Sami,

I've foud the problem: it's a compatibillity problem with others plugins: on the moment, your plugin work's only with the contact, captcha and calendar plugins (i will test with others...)

[Sami]

can you list all enabled plugins on you gallery ?
