Well I've managed to figure this out by myself. It's taken me, what...like three weeks? Oh well.
I can't promise that the methods used here are optimized at all or that they will work for you -- but they worked for me.
The following is for Links 2.1.1
In Search.pm add change the following section of sub query
Code:
# Join the link results by category if we are grouping.
my @link_results_loop;
if ($CFG->{build_search_gb}) {
foreach my $cat (sort keys %link_output) {
my $title = Links::Build::build ('title_linked', { name => $cat, complete => 1, home => 0 });
$link_results .= "<p>$title" . join ("", map { Links::SiteHTML::display('link', $_) } @{$link_output{$cat}});
$link_output{$cat}->[0]->{title_linked} = $title;
push @link_results_loop, @{$link_output{$cat}};
}
}
else {
$link_results = join ("", map { Links::SiteHTML::display('link', $_) } @{$link_output{none}});
push @link_results_loop, @{$link_output{none}};
}
to the following:
Code:
# Join the link results by category if we are grouping.
my @link_results_loop;
if ($CFG->{build_search_gb}) {
foreach my $cat (sort keys %link_output) {
my $title = Links::Build::build ('title_linked', { name => $cat, complete => 1, home => 0 });
# set $cat path == 'Full_Name'
my $cat_path = $cat;
# set $cat_name == 'Name'
my $pos = rindex($cat, '/');
my $cat_name = substr($cat, ($pos > -1 ? $pos + 1 : 0));
$link_results .= "<p>$title" . join ("", map { Links::SiteHTML::display('link', $_) } @{$link_output{$cat}});
$link_output{$cat}->[0]->{title_linked} = $title;
$link_output{$cat}->[0]->{cat_path} = $cat_path; # pass $cat_path to link_results_loop
$link_output{$cat}->[0]->{cat_name} = $cat_name; # pass $cat_name
push @link_results_loop, @{$link_output{$cat}};
}
}
else {
$link_results = join ("", map { Links::SiteHTML::display('link', $_) } @{$link_output{none}});
push @link_results_loop, @{$link_output{none}};
}
then I did the following in xml_search_results.xml
Code:
<%--
File : search_results.html
Description : This file displays the search results.
Tags : The following tags are available:
link_results => a listing of all the matching links
link_results_loop => a loop of all matching links
The following derive from a small mod to Search.pm
# includes $cat_path == 'Full_Name'
$cat_name == 'Name'
category_results => a listing of all matching category results
category_results_loop => a loop of matching categories
link_hits => a count of the number of matching links
cat_hits => a count of the number of matching categories
next => a toolbar for the next page of results: 1 2 3 > >>
query => what the user searched for unescaped.
term => what the user searched for escaped, useful for passing into
other search engines
