vs.flexigridsearch

Installation

• add vs.flexigridsearch to the eggs option of your buildout configuration and re-run buildout
• create a new Plone site using the related Plone3 or Plone 4 extension profile of vs.flexigridsearch
• or import the related profile for an existing Plone site through portal_setup (Import tab) (there are dedicatd profiles for Plone 3 and Plone 4 since we need different flexigrid versions due to different jQuery versions in Plone 3 and 4).

Usage

• no special usage: perform a search and the result should be rendered using the flexgrid jQuery add-on.

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:
    • Title (this should be always included if you want a clickable link to the content object)
    • Description
    • getId
    • created
    • Creator
    • start
    • end
    • effective
    • expires
    • location
    • Subject
    • getObjSize
    • review_state
    • portal_type

Requirements

• tested with Plone 3.3.X, 4.0.X

Translations

Due to the lack of a proper i18n framework in Plone we provide our own home-grown i18n translation functionality in skins/vs_flexigridsearch/vs_flexigridsearch_translations.js. Please add your translations directly here. If you want to contribute translations for other languages then please make the changes directly in the collective SVN.
