Live Search Plugin

Unfortunately, I can’t reproduce the problem. Here’s my setup:

// HTML snippet
<input type="text" name="search_blog" id="search_blog" value="" placeholder="Search Blog..." size="18" maxlength="100" style="width: 140px;" />
<input type="text" name="search_about" id="search_about" value="" placeholder="Search About..." size="18" maxlength="100" style="width: 140px;" />

// Javascript Snippet
$('#search_blog').livesearch('http://localhost/search/livesearch_blog/', {width: 200, center_results: true});
$('#search_about').livesearch('http://localhost/search/livesearch_about/', {width: 200, center_results: true});

Anything else you can tell me about the error?

Is that your actual code in the HTML? Because both inputs have the same id – maybe that’s why yours is working & mine isn’t? (grin)

Whoops, fixed 😊 .

And does it work? Or is it broken like mine…

It was a mistake I made when I posted, I had it right on the site. Works just fine.

Well, it’s working fine on my site now too. Must have had a typo last time round.

Thanks for all the help!

Glad you’ve worked it out.

seems i’m having a problem with this that noone else is having. I’m having a hard time troubleshootin it.

the livesearch works, it displays the “live” results, but the hyperlink for those results looks like this:

http://www.domain.com/index.phpmy_article_shortname

there is no slash between index.php and the rest of the url.

what could be causing this? why is it not getting the correct path, or where do I find this code to fix it?

thanks for any help on this!

Kevin.

Hey Kevin,

The culprit is most likely your weblog path setting.

Admin > Weblog Administration > Weblog Management > Edit Preferences > Path Settings

The weblog url and/or the comment url should point to the proper location (you can use the link parameter to tell the plugin which one to use, by default it’s the weblog url).

Make sure they have a trailing slash on them as well.

Let me know if that solves it for you, Pascal

😊 That was in fact the problem! - I didn’t realize I have to check those settings on each weblog! It is working as expected now.

Thanks Pascal!

Hi, I am having a bit of trouble with the plugin because I’m loading jQuery from the google APIs page (yes, to save bandwith :D) like so:

I load the JS from http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js

Now everything works great in Safari but Firefox won’t let me perform the cross-domain AJAX call and I get this error message:

Security Error: Content at http://mydeejays.com/index.php/list may not load data from http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/search/livesearch/d/?q=d&limit=10×tamp=1231105195050.

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception… “Access to restricted URI denied” code: “1012” nsresult: “0x805303f4 (NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI)” location: “http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js Line: 28”]

I would really like to load jQuery from Google so is there a way around this?

I should probably mention that in order to call the Plugin I use the following:

$('#keywords').livesearch('{site_url}index.php/search/livesearch/', { width: '275', center_results: true });

Thanks, Max

I think the problem is not that you’re loading data from Google, but because you’re accessing the site using http://domain.com but trying to load data from http://www.domain.com.

Have you tried forcing all site access to use www?

Indeed it is not the problem because if I load it from the same domain it still gives me the same error and yes it is the www error. Well although I could force the www I am not a big fan of this. Isn’t there any other workaround?

Thanks so much slapshotw for troubleshooting this so fast!

Also, how come I have to include the {site_url} in my path to the livesearch and Pascal doesn’t mention it and he infact doesn’t do this on his site?

Thanks, Max
