Community @ The Turning Gate

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for helping out.

It is the results page that is the issue - I would like to see a results page with no mention of galleries.... just simply a message "your search returned 10 photos..." or "your search returned 0 photos" - as per Nico's site.

Any ideas on this?

Cheers,
Martin

Hi Rod, Yes - all up to date.

If I change the text, the new text will save all ok.  It's just if I leave the input box blank (ie so there is no reference to albums at all), the message will default back to the text that was in there before my save. 

Is that what you are seeing?

Cheers

Hi Rod,

As far as I can tell there is an ID Search element.  I found the below before the form when I inspect the page

<div id="search" class="fancybox-content" style="display: inline-block;">

The form code is at:

<div id="search" class="fancybox-content" style="display: inline-block;">
									<form action="/backlight/search/" method="GET">
								<input type="text" id="q" name="q" value="" placeholder="Enter search, then press Return...">
				<button class="fa_pseudo" type="submit"><span>Search</span></button>
			</form>    
			<button type="button" data-fancybox-close="" class="fancybox-button fancybox-close-small" title="Close"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M13 12l5-5-1-1-5 5-5-5-1 1 5 5-5 5 1 1 5-5 5 5 1-1z"></path></svg></button></div>

So used "search" as  the reference.  Do no think what I am doing is right though as album messages still appear..

I have changed the messages in languages to blank for albums, but no matter what Ido - refresh or clear,  a message about albums always appears..  Have tried other browsers as well with still no luck.

Appreciate your help as always.

Hi,

After reading through the posts and help, ahave come up with the code below - unfortunatley still not working.  The if wasn't working outside the function, Rod.

Any ideas on what I am still doing wrong on http://www.tasmanianphotos.com to simply get a "no photos found" type message to appear, without any reference to albums.

Appreciate the help as always.

Cheers

function main_top() {  
       
    if (strtolower($this->slug) == 'search') 
        echo '
        
        <script>
        (function(){
            if(document.getElementById("search")!=undefined){            
                if(document.getElementById("search").innerHTML.indexOf("criteria")>-1){
                    document.getElementById("search").innerHTML="<p><cite>No photos matched your search criteria</cite></p>";
                } else {
                    document.getElementById("search").style.display="none";
                }
        })();
        </script>
        ';
    } // END

Thanks Rod and Ben,

Yes I am just using one album set/album - trying to build up a stock photo library much like Nico's at; https://phototheque.nicolaslogerot.com/

For the search I would like a user to just be presented with a message (number) on how many photos were found as well as actully displaying the thumnail photos found.  No mention of albums etc. is wanted. The ability to have some feedback text in on the search result page would be good also if nothing found.  ie "No images were found, try using a different search term".

Does that all make sense?  When I change the messages for albums in Settings > Languages > Manage Language - the message just comes back in on same, so that method is not working for me.

Thank you very much.

Yes tried both those now (as well as using a different browser) and still the galleries and blog items are listed in the menu.

Any other ideas?  This has me stumped.

Cheers,
Martin

Yep, in fact it is also the only menu in the system now .Cheers and thanks,

Cheers Rod... will check it out.

Hi Daniel,

Will need to look closer to answer your question - I'm still very new at this.

I am trying to get a "stock images" page together similar to Nico's at:

https://phototheque.nicolaslogerot.com

Would there be a reason not do the redirect now it's working

Cheers,
Chumby

Ok, thanks Rod.

I'll keep looking to see what I can find which is affordable in Australia.

Cheers
Chumby

Thanks very much, Rod.

I have read that in more detail now and looks like uploading to my serer the Hi-Res version on demand may be the way the only way to go.

Was also hoping to integrate some printing-on-demand products (canvas, posters etc) into the cart by using a drop-shipping service.  I have just looked at fotomoto (the interface looks exellent), but the shipping costs out to Australia are very high.

Do you know any way to integrate digital downloads for Backlight 2 with a drop shipping / printing service in Australia?

Very much appreciate your help.

Cheers,
Chumby
