Private groups and Relevanssi search

Lumarist,

Thanks for your post.

Since Relevanssi goes directly to the database, the there’s nothing I can do directly within my plugin to prevent this.

Basically it would require a filter on the Relevanssi code to prevent it returning results.

You can I believe turn of all forum results from Relevanssi, but filtering for private groups would require code for which I would have to understand and decode the Relevanssi plugin, which could take considerable time.

So sorry at the moment your choices are

Turn off forum searches within Relevanssi or turn off Relevanssi altogether
Th

Hello Robin,

first let me thank you for your reply. Second – Your plugin, beside a few others, is by far the most important and best plugin for me. The functionality you provide is so much needed for a good forum.

That being said, I will check which opportunities I have. Maybe I can check if a post or topic is being displayed in the search results, and hide the excerpt for those. It would be okay, if others can see the title.

I’ll check what I can do. The last option would be to turn off Relevanssi, but I do like the plugin. Not as much as yours, but it is nice to have, as we’ll have quite a few posts, on the site and the forums.

Anyway – If I find out anything, I’ll add it to this topic, so people can use it. If not, well we’ll see.

I’ll set the topic as solved, as it is a different kettle of fish.

Thanks for your help again and have a nice weekend!

If you are into coding, I can give you some easy ways to limit the search and you could probably hook that into their plugin.

It’s just I don’t have the time unless I get a divorce, and I can’t afford that ??

Hey Robin,

really no need to divorce. It’s not worth it. ??

The reason I installed Relevanssi in the first place, was that the forum search widget didn’t work for me. I thought, that it might have been an incompatibility with another plugin. I did a quick search on it, but wasn’t able to find anything (should’ve tryed harder).

Turned out, that it was a wrong setting within bbpress. Where it says “Prefix all forum content with the Forum Root slug (Recommended)”, one might consider, that “Recommended” might have its good reason.

Long story short – After I enabled that recommended setting, I was finally able to use the bbpress build in search (widget).

So now I am able to use Relevanssi for the main page content and bbpress search for the forums. *happy dance*

Anyway – Let me thank you again. Without your plugin and help I wouldn’t have been able to realize my/our project! So, here’s another big thanks to you! That’s the forum btw., which I am pretty happy with: Yucom Forum (sorry that it is in german) Still WIP, as you can see.

Okay, I am talking too much here! Thanks! And if you ever need help of a front end developer, which I am (so php coding is not my world), please let me know! Maybe I can help.

Take care!

Hey great – thanks for letting me know, and pleased that you are working !
