allright ! thx a lot !!

The new release 0.88 is up here:

http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/release/747913/developer/kevin/form-and-related-plugins

Hope it fixes your problem.

Hello Kevin,
Thank you for your release, you did a great job!! We downloaded and installed it.
The only problem we have is that it is returning only a "Tags" search and not "user content" search.
That is it only returns exact matches, not for words within text.
We would like the search to work more like a full text search (initially we added a plugin "full text search" that worked even with your plugin) : for example an user enter a list of company in his profile description which is a text field and we want to be able to search for words inside the text (like a classical full text search).
Any ideas to perform this point ?

When you edit a custom form definition, you can provide a list of the internal names of the fields you want to be searchable.

From then on, any new content created using that form will be full text searchable.

We are getting close!!

Maybe we missed something :
We had provided the list of internal names of the fields we want to be searchable in "form configuration" under "form:search_fields_label" as u can see on the screenshot.

And we created a new field called "test" and in one profile we entered 3 words (sncf edf train)
We try 2 type of search :
- First search with one word which return no result (see the 2 screenshots below)

- Second search with the exact match : "sncf edf train" and we got a result under tags search (see the 2 screenshots below)

Can you think a reason why we don't get a result for one world ?
Did we make something wrong ?

I'm away from my desk for a week but will fix this when I return.

Ok
Have a good week Kevin !!

StB,

I have now got a chance to take a look at this. The string handles 'form:search_fields_label' and 'form:search_fields_description' are defined in mod/form/languages/en.php on lines 371 and 372.

If they are not appearing for you, it suggests that your install is broken somehow and this may also explain why search is not working for you.

Can you try a re-install?

I meant a re-install of the form plugins, not Elgg, just to make that clear.

Hello Kevin,

Ok we re-installed, but in fact the string handles 'form:search_fields_label' and 'form:search_fields_description' didn't appear because it is true that we didn't replaced the langage file en.php (because we had it customized (sorry about that !)).
Here we fixed that :

But it still doesn't work!!

Just so you know, in the plugin folder we only use "form" and "flexprofile", should the full text search work anyway (as we described it above) with only this two folders?
Any idea why it doesn't work for us?

Thanks Kevin for your patience and all your time you spent to help us to fix that.
Regards
StB
