The links to the Grid view and List view do not work properly from the search page.

The link from List is:
calendar.pl?view=Search&calendar=default&style=List

The Link fron Grid is:

/calendar.pl?style=Grid&selected_datestring=20030120&calendar=default&view=Search&datestring=20030120&style=Grid

Is there a way to have the Grid view link take the user back to the default grid you or to the previous grid?

** The links to the Grid view and List view do not work properly from the search page. **

As there is only one view available for the search results, those links don't have much to do. It works the same on the demo calendar from te search view.

I have no idea why each of those links have different length URLs on your calendar. On my calendar they're both exactly the same except the &style=List or &style=Grid at the end.

Here are examples of mine after using a Search Link:

calendar.pl?calendar=move&view=Search&duration=14&style=Grid
calendar.pl?calendar=move&view=Search&duration=14&style=List

Here are examples after a regular search:

calendar.pl?duration=14&end_year=2003&start_date=20&fromTemplate=&start_month=1&end_date=22&calendar=move&view=Search&end_month=1&start_year=2003&style=Grid

calendar.pl?duration=14&end_year=2003&start_date=20&fromTemplate=&start_month=1&end_date=22&calendar=move&view=Search&end_month=1&start_year=2003&style=List

Are you sure you looked at them from the same screen and not one before a search and one after? Or more likely, one from before a search and one after moving to the search view page from viewing the Day view of 20030120?

** Is there a way to have the Grid view link take the user back to the default grid **

Sure if you want to code the page that way. But unless you use some if/else statements, it will work the same from all the calendar views.

** or to the previous grid? **

You mean the calendar view they were at before moving to the Search View in the first place? Doubtful, or at least I can't think of an easy way to accomplish it. It wouldn't be done through the plug-in.

Thanks, It is not a critical issue and I can live with it , but anything I can do to reduce potential questions from a public user will save me work in the long run.

You can remove those options altogether on the search view by editing the default.html template file and putting their code inside an if $view eq "search" (or "Search", I forget which) conditional.

** I'll see if I can find if anything in that WYSIWYG hack could effect the Search Link plug-in. **

I don't see anything in that hack that should effect the Search Link plug-in.
It looks like the script is not processing the Search Link's display_before_search.pl
file and I have no idea why that would be.

I have had that happen with other plug-in files but that was caused by an error in the
script (which could include it being uploaded incorrectly). It works on my system
so I'm fairly sure an error in the coding isn't causing it.

I don't know what else to suggest. Sorry.

What are you using to upload that plug-in's files? Maybe you could try uploading the zip
file in binary mode and unzipping it on the server?

where would be a good place to start looking at in my code to resolve this?  thanks

i am using my same FTP prog that i use for everything.  I have tried in both ascii and binary just to test it.  How would i unzip the zip file from the server?

But here is the code for the Search View section in default.html...im not sure if this code matters at all, but i am pretty lost.

** How would i unzip the zip file from the server? **

You require shell access. If you don't have it you'd have to ask your host's support if they will do it for you.

** im not sure if this code matters at all **

No it doesn't. The code that would be important if it had an error or were corrupted would be the
display_before_search.pl from the plugin. And posting its code here would not likely help to determine if it
was corrupted or not.

[beneath_the_ashes]

so what code would need to be looked at that would actually call on that script?  or maybe i just dont understand the logic behind it.  Anyway, after all the different ways i have uplaoded it, and unzipped it, im certain there is underlying problem.  Let me know what you think.

Thanks again

Dan,

Thanks for all your help to date.. I've gotten the add onclick event plug-in working.. and the inconsistencies in display seem to have cleard up..

When i try to enable the searchlink plug-in, i'm getting these results:

Error requiring custom function file 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\calendarscript\/calendarscript/plugins/SearchLink/display_before_search.pl'. The error is: [Can't locate C:Inetpubwwwrooti-bin
lendarscript/calendarscript/plugins/SearchLink/display_before_search.pl at (eval 1) line 1. ]
Search query must not be blank!

(the strange characters are actually in teh error message on my browser)

When i disable the plugin, then i just get:
Search query must not be blank!

Any ideas ??

** so what code would need to be looked at that would actually call on that script? **

calendar.pl calls that script with the line:
unless(&handleCustomFunction("display_before_search")) {

Hence the plug-in file's name display_before_search.pl

If there were an error in the display_before_search.pl code the script would stop executing it and just move on to exectute the calendar.pl code after
unless(&handleCustomFunction("display_before_search")) {

** im certain there is underlying problem. **

Well you could change that file's name to a .txt extension and post a link to it here. I'll try to look at it to see if I can see anything wrong.

I uploaded a text version of that script to my site. You can try saving it, changing the extension to .pl and uploading it in ascii mode to that plug-in's directory to see if it helps.

What inconsistencies are you referring to?

** The error is: [Can't locate C:Inetpubwwwrooti-bin
lendarscript/calendarscript/plugins/SearchLink/display_before_search.pl at (eval 1) line 1. ]

Strange characters can be caused by uploading files in binary instead of ascii. It looks like the script is looking in the wrong place for the file because of those strange characters.

I can't think of what else would cause that.

[beneath_the_ashes]

ok...here is the path to my display_before_search.pl as a txt file:
http://www.darkvisionsmedia.com/display_before_search.txt

here is also the path i have been using to test if its working...:
http://www.darkvisionsmedia.com/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.pl?view=Search&command=search&duration=365&FIELD_description=beneath+the+ashes

so where is the display_before_search.pl script that is referenced in calendar.pl before the plugin is installed?  Or is the code that references that in calendar.pl added when the plugin is installed?  And if there is a different display_before_search.pl, other than the one that comes with the plug-in, could that be what is giving me the blank page after running the searchlink URL format through it?

thanks
ryan
