link-library-search

  • Hi,
    I will appreciate any help on the following issues:

    When using [link-library-search settings=1] and redirect search results to the same page.

    1. Is it possible to get the entered search text already filled in the resulting page “input” search value?

    2. And if we use an [link-library-cats settings=1] how can we combine and simultaneous filter link by the search text and the category?

    Please use the following example to better understand these issues.
    https://geoportais.com/?searchll=inspire
    I would like that “inspire” text could appear in the “Pesquisa…” form field and let the user filter results using “Escolha uma Categoria” to show only “1. Nacionais” category links.

    Thank you in advance!
    Best regards

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Thanks for your feedback. I have not forgotten about your other request. Just need to find time to investigate this larger issue.

    Hi Ricardo, Please update to version 6.7.2 and check the new option labeled ‘Use categories to filter search results’. This should allow you to use the categories to filters search results. Let me know if this works as expected.

    Thank you Yannick.
    I’ve upgraded and activated the new option “Use categories to filter search results” found on “Link Library – Configurations” > “Categories” folder.
    But I haven’t noticed any change on the search behavior.

    For example:
    If you search for “algarve”
    https://geoportais.com/?searchll=algarve
    it returns 6 results on 2 categories: Regionais(2), Municipais(4).

    The categories filter (drop-down) shows the first category selected “Regionais”, but it is not filtering it.
    If you change the category to “Municipais”, it shows all links on that category, ignoring the text filter.

    Am I doing something wrong? Have I missed activating any other options to get the categories filter behavior working?

    Oh, I did not notice that you had it selected to show a single category at a time with the drop-down list. I did not work on that use-case. I will work on it in the coming week.

    I have not had a chance to work on this yet. Will let you know when I’ve made progress.

    Found enough time to implement and test today. Please try latest version 6.7.5 and see if the search filtering works for you now.

    Thank you Yannick.
    I’ve upgraded and tested. And I confirm that I’m able to filter the results by category.

    In my case with: “show a single category at a time with the drop-down list”. Please correct me if I’m wrong, just after the search it was expected to list links only with the showned category. After the search it keeps listing results of all categories. Only after I select a different category from the list, it will filter the list by that selected category.

    Unfortunately I’ve also noticed a parallel problem, with the category counter for search results.
    It seems the directory counter only counts the search occurrences in the title, but the search results show others that have occurrences on other link fields.

    Please have a look at these examples:
    https://geoportais.com/?searchll=algarve
    The category counter shows:
    Regionais (2)
    Municipais (4)
    But the list results shows 5 link with Municipais category.

    The side effect is, if the category counter gets 0 results (in the title), but there are in fact results. That category is not shown and you will not be able to filter it.

    Please have a look at this case examples:

    https://geoportais.com/?searchll=alentejo
    It counts only Regionais(2)
    And are listed, but not counted:
    Municipais (5)
    Ibericos (1)

    https://geoportais.com/?searchll=aveiro
    It counts only Municipais (1)
    And miss the Regionais(1)

    https://geoportais.com/?searchll=inspire
    It counts only Europeu(1)
    And miss the Nacionais(2)

    Thank you in advance.
