CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I have certain sections of my site hidden behind an FEU/customcontent setup, and this is all working fine. Where I'm getting a little stuck is in limiting results on the non-logged in side of the site's Search function. When I search for a term that is in the 'hidden' pages, it shows up in results. If I click a result, it does indeed give me a 'you must be logged in' error, but I would prefer if these results did not appear at all.
I could just disable indexing for these pages, but then I would lose ability for logged in users to search their protected pages.

I note than the Search module has a 'modules' parameter, but I cannot find any info on what or how this works or might do what I need. I also note the customContent module has ability to pass results through other modules, but again I'm unsure if this is what I need.

What I would like: the search function will ignore pages that are using custom content module, but will include them if client is logged in.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

I just realised the same problem. Has this changed?

It would be great, if:
- if a page is protected content and user is not logged in, he/she can't search the pages
- if user is logged in, he/she can search protected content pages

to prevent hidden pages to show up in the searchresults, uncheck "This page is searchable" under the Options of a page.

Thanks staartmees, but I assume that the option prevents logged users to search protected content.

indeed but it solves one part of your problem.

Is this changed?


- A visitor can search protected content
- If you set the page "not available for search", then protected content can't be searched at all.

Is the page set to Protected Content type..?

It helps to give as much info as possible...

more info == more help

Yes.

Maybe it would be the easiest way to have two search modules - one for visitors (only non protected content will be indexed) and one for loggedin users (all content will be indexed).

It's not so difficult to clone a module (yeah, I like the clone function of Xoops CMS). Could be a base for a commercial request.

But maybe it would be a good feature for CMSMS 2.1? The possibility to let run a module in different instances (like ListIt2).
