custom search results

[gabrielcrowe]

i'm looking for an elegant way to have a second, seperate search results page.

normal searches all go through a standard page, which allready has styles and such associated. i dont want to break that.

i want to duplicate all things necessary (with the minnimum of duplication of course) to have a different looking search. not really a custom search, but a different set of /pl alltogether.

i suppose my question is, where does the ss000001.pl get its templates from once its uploaded!

anyone know?

results.html perhaps.

[gabrielcrowe]

can i specify this template when i search?

like 0001.pl?template=template.htm

?

[NormanRouxel]

Probably only by customising the Perl.

You'll find this in SeachScript.pl

my $sFilename = $sPath . "results.html";

[gabrielcrowe]

and i did just that

alt_ss00001.pl

alt_results.html


and edit the alt_.pl "results.html" to alt_results.html

No need for a custom Perl script. Try using 0001.pl?template=template.htm with a patched SearchScript.pl

my $altresults = (defined $::g_InputHash{'template'}) ? $::g_InputHash{'template'} : 'results.html';
my $sFilename = $sPath . $altresults;
