Customizing Advanced Search Page 6.5

kellyrmilligan

First the basics: TS 6.5, Solaris

Here are the steps I think I need to do to change the labels on the drop down in the advanced search page on content center professional:

Add the following to /usr/iw-home/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_src/etc/conf/customer/ui_custom.xml

<extended-attributes id="iw.search.attribute_list">
<extended-attribute id="TeamSite/Metadata/ACCOUNT" label="Account" resourceBundle="com.example.strings" />
</extended-attributes>

from the /usr/iw-home/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_src directory, run

make_toolkit.ipl

Ater this I still do not see changes. Am I missing something here?

as a follow up, here is the full ui_custom.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE iwov-ui
PUBLIC "-//Interwoven, Inc.//DTD UI Customizations 1.0//EN"
"../../../../reference/etc/conf/ui_custom.dtd">


<iwov-ui>

<extended-attributes id="iw.search.attribute_list">
<extended-attribute id="TeamSite/Metadata/ACCOUNT" label="Account" resourceBundle="com.example.strings" />
</extended-attributes>

</iwov-ui>

Now I am thinking I needed the search _custom.xml file, which wasn't in the directory structure I thought it would have been, that is, with all of the other files. I copied the one from the example toolkit, and it is reflecting changes now, but it is an error, maybe a flawed sample toolkit perhaps?

kellyrmilligan

Can anyone post a sample search_custom.xml file that works? I have been trying to pull from the reference file, and the sampel toolkit examples, but I get errors everytime.

I am attaching my file to this post.

Hi,
first, it seems to be that there's an documentation error:
Both \iw-home\local\config\lib\content_center\reference\etc\conf\README_search_config_types.txt and
uicg.650a.cg.pdf describe the two xml tags <extended-attribute-list> and <extended-attribute>.
Some lines under that, there's given a example
<extended-attributes id="iw.search.attribute_list">
...
</extended-attributes>
, which seems to be wrong, 'cause it's not working...

Perhaps some Interwoven guys can check this...

Kellyrmilligan, your search_custom.xml works on my system.
Which error messages do you get?
What are your actions before you get the errors?

kellyrmilligan

stefanmaier,
well, I am basically putting the search_custom.xml changes in the

/usr/iw-home/local/config/lib/content_center/customer_src/etc/conf/customer/

directory, then I run maketoolkit.ipl

and that is pretty much it.

let me get the file I posted on this forum(I have been messing around with it to get it to work, not sure what version is currently there)

and I will post again with the error messages.

I just get a javascript error thrown, and the languages box is empty, maybe a formatting error in my file?

<languages id="iw.search.languages">
<language id="en" label="English" resourceBundle="com.example.strings"/>
</languages>

?

stefanmaier

Hi,
can you explain, what do you want to do?

Do you only want to have one entry in your dropdown box?
Then delete the others with

    <languages id="iw.search.languages">
        <iwov-delete>
            <language id="ja"/>
            <language id="ko"/>
            <language id="zh"/>
       ...
        </iwov-delete>
    </languages>

If I interpret your code snippet correctly, I would say it adds an second "English" entry into your dropdown box, and this returns a javascript error.
If you want to add additional language filters, try

...
<language id="yourid" label="yourlabel" />
...

Hi, thanks for the response. That actually worked, I just wanted to remove all the other languages .

The other part I want to do is change the lables on the advanced search fields. I will try that and get back to you. Have you done that before?
