More weirdness - missing blog post

Brian -

It's the difference between what I see when the search finds (just) a user name:

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/10?search_string=renee
http://www.thechocolatelife.com/gallery/ss=renee
http://www.thechocolatelife.com/blog/ss=renee

The search for Renee did not return any of the images or the blog.

whereas

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/10?search_string=cocoa

finds users with cocoa in the name and more.

Home Page Anomalies: Latest Forum Posts AND Newest Members not updating

Okay, I see how this works now.

One thing to check on is that if I have a member whose profile is inactive and who has set global privacy to Profile Owners Only they still appear in this view - which I would not expect.

It's more that search results behave very differently when the only result is a member name.

For example, here's a search on "cocoa"

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/10?search_string=cocoa

That finds results in many modules, including blogs. I understand why, now, but it might lead people to think that there's nothing there or that something is broken.

The larger discussion about it being less useful is not for this thread. But it is something I want to take up with the team, so I will follow up later on this. (Prior to getting into chocolate this was one area of considerable professional experience.)

If a profile does not have a profile image where is that tested? I am guessing it's in index.tpl in the following line:


How do I change this test to see if that's the issue I am running into?

The Latest Forum Posts is now updating properly. The only change I made was to change a quota config, allowing signups for the default quota (this was getting in the way of members changing their quota). Could that be it?

I see that.

The questions are "can you help me understand why this decision was made" and "can I make it happen on my site if I want to"?

Confusing Page Titles

Installation and Configuration

I often have more than one tab open and when two or more of (different) pages are titled "Home" it can get confusing. IMO, the only page that should have the title "Home" is the actual Home page.

How and where the page name gets assigned does not appear to be consistent.

1) Page titles Search results page and sub-pages. The page title is NOT set either in language string id=2 or by the module URL.

2) Page title Groups. Changing the module URL changes the page name.

3) Page title Forums. The page title is set in language string id=36, which is also used as the text for the left-most tab.

4) Page title Events. Changing the module URL changes the page name.

5) Page title Private Notes. The page title is set in language string id=2 (and the "home" page is for some reason at .../note/notes not .../notes).

I don't have audio on my site. What other flash objects are there? Likes? Ratings?

Just curious.

We are now off-topic. Should I close this one as the basic issue has been resolved and start up the search question in a new topic so others who are interested can follow along?

GROUP search to include group discussions code...?

Ning To Jamroom

Strumelia -

When you do a site-wide search you do get group discussions returned when discuss_description is added. You should be able to modify the search results page to put discussions in the top-right position and push images down, making them much more obvious.

You can also modify the way the results are displayed to include the name of the group. T

SO - the code is already there to do what you want, it's just not accessible in the way you want it to be, you'd like a search on the Groups "home" page that just returns results from Groups.

What I want to do, when I search on the string "landen" which just happens to be a user name, is to see where the string Landen appears.

I find a profile (or account) with that string in it.
I find a single group discussion created by Landen Zernickow.

What I did not find was the 33 blog posts she created.

I looked at the Discussion and "Landen" is in the body of the discussion as well as in the created_by field. However in the blogs, "Landen" is only in the created_by field.

What I WANT to be able to do here is to show EVERYTHING Landen has created (paged by 10, which I have set).

HOWEVER, in looking at the DataStore Browser for the Profile Blog module I don't see a creator name. So I can't add that db field to Search because it does not exist.

Is this possible to do?
