SearchFeed.com

Ok, I know that the old XML search results feed is no longer working (company went under?), so I'm looking at alternatives. Would people like to see a plugin using SearchFeed.com as the company where the results are grabbed? It will be a free plugin, so I'm not guaranteeing when it will be complete, but I would imagine by monday the latest.

Cheers

Ok...beta is ready now. Please find it attached. There is no readme, as its all pretty simple. If anyone does have trouble with it, please start a thread about it, or carry on this one.

Re: [Andy] SearchFeed.com In reply to

I may be wrong but I would have thought this line would cause a fatal error:

Code:
my ($mgr, $tar) = @_; 

          # if template already exist...dont get rid of em! 
           if (-e "$CFG->{admin_root_path}/templates/$CFG->{build_default_tpl}/search_link.html") { next; }

You can't use next; outside a loop (this is in Install.pm)

Re: [Paul] SearchFeed.com In reply to

Mmm....doesn't seem to cause an error, but I see where you are coming from. Maybe I should stick an 'if' around the install part, something like;

unless (file exists) { do template install }

I'll look into it....

Thanks

You'll need to change it is what I'm really saying as for me it does cause a fatal.

Code:
#!/perl/bin/perl -w 
#========================================================== 

   use strict; 

   if (! -e "non-existant.txt") { 
       next; 

   } 
   print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";  
   print "Done";

Re: [Andy] SearchFeed.com In reply to

It looks like you've used the code from my MyLinks plugin which uses a loop but you haven't copied over the loop.

You still have a last; in your nested unless.

Code:
unless (!-e "$CFG->{admin_root_path}/templates/$CFG->{build_default_tpl}/search_link.html") { 
      my $file = $tar->get_file ("search_link.html"); 
      $file->name("$CFG->{admin_root_path}/templates/$CFG->{build_default_tpl}/search_link.html") or return Plugins::SearchFeed_Results->error("Error: $GT::Tar::error"); 
unless ($file->write) { 
             last; 
             return Plugins::SearchFeed_Results->error("Unable to extract file: '$CFG->{admin_root_path}/templates/$CFG->{build_default_tpl}/search_link.html' ($GT::Tar::error)", 'WARN'); 
      }
}

Re: [Andy] SearchFeed.com In reply to

Hehe sorry to keep getting you to update your plugin but now you aren't calling an error for $file->write so if the file isn't extracted (which can happen) then the user won't know and some site_html errors will start showing.

Hi Andy,

What can I say, Thanks :-)

It sounds good with the searchfeed plugin ( I haven't read your post before now), and I will install it right away !

Cool !!!!
Take care, Bent

Hi Again.

I have just installed the script, but I got an error, hoping that you could tell me what is wrong.

When i install it, and try to do a search, I get this:

GT::Plugins (28734): Error running plugin PRE hook: Plugins::SearchFeed_Results::do_checks. Reason: Can't locate XML/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/home/bannerzone/www/cgi-bin/links/admin /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at /usr/home/bannerzone/www/cgi-bin/links/admin/Plugins/SearchFeed_Results.pm line 23.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/home/bannerzone/www/cgi-bin/links/admin/Plugins/SearchFeed_Results.pm line 23.
at GT::Plugins::_load_hook line 263.

Is there maybe something I haven't installed on the host where my site is? Or?

It's saying, can't locate XML, what is that....??? Shocked

Please help if you can... Cool

Thanks,

Bent

Re: [bannerzone] SearchFeed.com In reply to

Hi,

Bannerzone - You may already have the answer to this, but what it means is that more than likely the perl module that handles the XML is not installed. I would talk to your sysadmin about getting the XML-Simple module installed which can be found here.

Re: [fulcan] SearchFeed.com In reply to

Hi Andy,

On your search results, I have tried to make it run, however, when I type in a single word to be searched it works fine and I get all the results. However as soon as you type in two words like "alarm system" it gets an error. Here is the error message.Not an ARRAY reference at /home/virtual/site14/fst/var/www/cgi-bin/linkssql/admin/Plugins/SearchFeed_Results.pm line 85.Is there a way to fix this?Also, how do I get it to include search results from my own directory as well as the searchfeed.com results?Thanks

Re: [fulcan] SearchFeed.com In reply to

Hi...sorry about that....it should be fixed up now. It was because the space in between the words was not being translated to a +. I've also added the code to edit anything like % $ £ " ! (i.e non-words) to a plus....if anyone has another way to edit them to URL friendly charachters, I'm all ears Wink

New version is available in the download area...

Re: [Andy] SearchFeed.com In reply to

One of my users found a bug in this plugin. For some reason a search for creditcardconsolidators makes it return a completly blank page. See the HTML below.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

Any ideas on this Andy? I have just disabled this as this is a show stopping bug. If you can't replicate this error let me know and I'll turn it on on my site so you can have a look.

Re: [cdkrg] SearchFeed.com In reply to

Andy,

I think I know what this is. I think that when Search Feed returns no results it kills the whole page somehow. Any ideas on how to change this?

Re: [cdkrg] SearchFeed.com In reply to

Interesting. After this line (in SearchFeed_Results.pm);

my $inc = $opts->{Active};

can you add;

if (!$results->{link_hits}) { return Links::SiteHTML::display('search', { error => 'No results were found for your query' } ); }

What does that do for you?

Cheers
