Site Search Module Re-Direct

Aug 9, 2012 12:30 PM

Hi guys,

 

Wondering if there is a way of adding a 're-direct' code to the Site Search Module HTML code, so that people can enter info in the site search box, and rather than keeping them on the same page, it takes them to a new page.

 

Thanks,

Aaron

    Hi,

     

    you would need to add &PageID=/yoursubfolder/custompage(.html) to the search form action.

     

    Make sure to add {module_searchresults} to your custom page.

    Thanks for the speedy reply Nicole... I am using Muse, and adding the Site Search HTML code to my site... would it look something like this?

     

    <form name="catsearchform41134" method="post" action="/Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=3510&PageID=/yoursubfolder/custompage(.html)"><div class="search-box"><input class="cat_textbox_small" type="text" name="CAT_Search" id="CAT_Search" /><input class="cat_button" type="submit" value="Search" /></div></form>{module_searchresults}

     

    Thanks,

    Aaron

    Exactly, just make sure you change my code sample to point to your site. And instead of having {module_searchresults} right with the search form, just take it off there and add it to the new page you want to direct the results to.

    Nevermind, I confused it a little bit, instead of &PageID=/yoursubfolder/custompage(.html) you need the ID for the page, i.e. &PageID=12910624, its a little hard to find but you can take a note of the ID when hovering over the new page under the Pages > Tree view in BC, the page ID will be shown on the bottom of the browser window (FF 14).

     

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Nicole, You was right in the first place but you you said &PageID= for the url when in actual fact it is just ID.

     

    So, Aaron you do as Nicole said first (because it is easier) but use ID instead of PageID so..

     

    /Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=3510&amp;ID=/yoursubfolder/custompage

     

    &amp; is the HTML entitity for & and is better valid markup

    You're right, works both. &amp;PageID with ID, &amp;ID with URL.
