search plugin for edocman for new advanced search

Hello,

It seems the search plugin only works with the "old" version of Joomla! search engine.
Do you plan soon a plugin that will allow advanced search with the new finder ?

Thanks !

Hi

In the future, I will write search plugin for Finder (new search engine for Joomla ). However, I think we will have to wait for sometime (I will try to have this search plugin when Joomla release version 3.0) .

Hello !

Thanks, but we really need that addon as we want to integrate the new finder as soon as possible...

So we've been investigating a bit, so maybe you could point some direction to help...
Here's a plugin based on articles /category search with Finder...

1-Using J! dump component, we found a problem during indexing research on edocman, pointing the main questions on :

line 263 of edocman.php :
That indexing the documents, but missing of course some stuffs...
EDIT : ok, got the name of document working in ajax search by modifying the called function : by
and

Also, but in a second time , seems for ajax queries :
There's no route.php in your component, also helpers seems to be missing.

What should be done to make it work ?

We may also organise a contribution to suit our needs...
Thanks for your help !

Ok, we manage to make the search thru finder to work !
Now what's missing is the names of categories in advanced search.
We just have a blank field, and it seems to recognize only the Edocman main category, we can't select the subcategories...
But it's almost solved as we can pass something into the item object. (cool at the moment)
But the search as document type "edocman" works !
There's also a little problem with the language ini file...

Could you please help a bit ?
Thanks !

@agussol: Right now, I am really busy and could not look at it. I will spend time this weekend to look at it. Will it be OK for you ?

@agussol: Thanks for sharing the plugin. I completed new version of EDocman which support tags, rss.... Next week , I will look at all the improvements, bugs which you made/supported and will implement them into EDocman 1.5.3.

I might communicate with you via email if I have questions.

Thanks again for all the efforts you put into the extension !
