How to include phoca gallery menu module in search

Post by Technically Blonde »

I am using the phoca gallery menu module to display categories and images. I need to have a search option that looks at the image titles/descriptions and includes them in Search Results. I have tried the phoca gallery search plug in and also Fly06 Modules search plug in but neither include any images (or categories) in the search results

Suggestions please .....

I've been advised that "the links in this Phoca Gallery Menu module are javascript-based links and not html links as normally expected" and that is why the Fly06 module search plug in does not work

But what about the Phoca Plug in?

And is there an alternative.

If I cannot search the Phoca Gallery Menu module I will have to rethink the site design and use of gallery

hi,
i'm using the pg search plugin, and it's working. It does look at the image titles for example.
did you install AND enable the plug in correctly?
regards,

I have it installed and enabled ...... but it does not work with Phoca Menu module, maybe it does with the Phoca Gallery Image module?

I like the Menu module because it automatically puts new categories onto the gallery menu and lists all categories unless specifically excluded

I just tried the Phoca Image Module instead but still go no search results

I also tried creating a Phoca Gallery Component (all categories) on the main menu but still got nothing

I guess I am missing something obvious

Hi, are the search items displayed if you will build standard menu link to the gallery?

Hi Jan,

No .. I have tried everything I can think of, including building standard men link, but cannot get any search results. I hope it's something simple and I am being stupid about something!

The module only displays items and if there is a menu link to gallery, the search results should display the items in search and assign right menu item id to them :idea:
