No integrated search with wordpress

  • before using and buying the pro version of this component, and after having read that it’s one of the most well considered file magagement plugin for wordpress, I read in the presentation page that it includes an “integrated search”. I though that it was integrated with the wordpress search so that when a user serch something will find posts or files regarding that subject.
    After having installed and used WP-filepro i see that it’s not like this. since wp-filepro uses his own custom tables (and not the wp media tables) the search system ignore them and doesnt extract the filebase. This is, imho, a very big fault. i wonder if the developer or somebody else wrote a modifies version of the search component that includes the wp-filebase files in the search. Thanx in advance

    WP-Filebase and WP-Filebase Pro both integrates with the WordPress search via attachments. If a search query matches any file attached to a post or page, this post/page will appear in the search results.

    WP-Filebase Pro introduces a custom post type (wpfb_filepage). Every file has an associated page, that will also appear in the search results. This is like you proposal of using the WP media tables.
    See a demo here:
    https://demo.wpfilebase.com/?s=chmod
    The search results shows a file page of a matching file (the PDF contains the word “chmod”). The template can be adjusted like any other WordPress post type.

    Does this not fit your needs?

    Thank you Fabian
    this would really fit my needs. I didnt understand what I have to do to include this custom post type (wpfb_filepage) in my search function. I will investigate mode.

    Greetings Fabian –

    I’m trying to access the wpdb_filepage custom post type and expose the terms via a function similar to the native WP function get_taxonomies – is there an equivalent (or approximation) that you have developed for wp-filebase? I’m trying to integrate wp-filebase with Ajax Search Pro, and in order to get custom field results to show in a way that is understandable to the front end user, it is necessary to create or access such a function.

    Thank you
