Re: [campsite-support] Searching for articles in the CMS
  • Yes there is. But it's very limited, i.e. hasn't been touched since 2000 or
    so. It is definitely on our todo list for the future. You should use Google
    for the moment, or feel free to help us implement a better one.

    Is there a built in article search in the CMS?

  • Yes, if we decide to go with Campsite I will need to develop a search mechanism. Editors will need to be able to search on title, writer, date, section, topics, etc.
  • I was talking about front-end search. The back-end search would be easier
    to implement, and it is on our roadmap (though it's been postponed over and
    over again). FYI, the ticket is at
    http://code.campware.org/projects/campsite/ticket/263

    If you choose Campsite, we'd appreciate any help in that respect.

  • What about it makes it so difficult to implement? Couldn't you put a fullindex on XArticle and pass the search value into that?
  • Hi Tim,

    Right now it works something like that, but actually searching is more
    complex. With Campsite you can define customized article types, so
    fields like XArticle are not fixed/static fields, you could have X
    fields as many article topics and more because only one article type
    can have multiple searchable fields.

    That is why Sava told you basic searching is implemented, hopefully at
    some time in the future we will have a better and more intelligent
    search engine. We do not want only a typical engine, that is what
    other CMSs out there have, we want a search engine who understand the
    nature of the content it is looking for, all of this because Campsite
    is a specialized CMSs for media news content.

    Best,

  • I am not a templater, nor am I a developer. I just manage/juggle the whole
    of Campware. But I am also aware that this is not a huge task, it just got
    pushed aside by other priorities, such as porting the parser from C++ to
    PHP. We are actually planning to introduce it in one of the post 3.0
    releases (currently slated for 3.1), but if you beat us to it, or help us
    with it in any way, all the merrier.
