Instant Search

[torvista]

Is there a site to look at?

Keyword is created.... how and where? Are you saying the mod does that or that is what is needed to be done? In the instructions it mentions keyword only as a name - not input but attribute of input. So you are saying there needs to be an actual input field (assumedly then hidden from view) that is called name?

No, no error logs or console errors.

People, no one has offered any sample - any code, any site. I don't maintain or create mods anymore but instructions are important. There are no instructions, just that one thing in the configuration.

I was interested when looking at github that there was a suggestion this mod be added into the template. I'm all for that - if only to ge the dang code etc.

If you're using a template based on the built-in responsive classic, make sure that you have (in the admin's Layout Boxes Controller) the search_header or search sidebox enabled for the template.

Each of those sideboxes includes an input field named keywords, which is what Instant Search's jQuery/javascript is looking for.

And yes, the side boxes are enabled.

@torvista will send url via pm. Site is being readied for upgrade/with new branding.

Thank you @torvista for figuring out instant_search_dropdown.min.js isn't loading. Since it is on the site in the template directory and is not named for auto inclusion, is the mod supposed to be loading it?

[torvista]

> is not named for auto inclusion
Yes it is.

Anything named jscript_whatever.js should be auto-included.

[torvista]

Hmm, I find I have a file in my site that is not in the Github repository:
jscript_instant_search.js
that loads the template file.
Probably debris from a previous version of Instant Search.
I can't investigate further until later.

[delia]

yup - no jscript prefix on those two files in the jscript folder

[delia]

adding the jscript prefix does not make this work. I'm going to call it quits on this mod.

The necessary javascript file is:
instant_search_dropdown.min.js

This is loaded by the file:
auto.instant_search_observer.php

and triggered from the notifier:
'NOTIFY_FOOTER_END'

in tpl_main_page.php

So, something is broken/missing in that chain of events.

Nice detective work, @torvista. I'm guessing that that notifier is missing, although that's been "in-core" since early 2016.
