[SOLVED] Search module: include other modules in searches

Post by qwalk »

Hi.

How can i make the search module include content from the EventsManager? For example if I have an event called Event1 and I am searching for Event1 it doesn't show any results.

Thanks! :)

Try to use reindexing function inside search backend after adding new events.

Normally every (well coded) module does it by themselve.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I tried using the button: "Reindex All Content" from the Search module settings page, but it does not help unfortunately. :-(

Any other suggestions?

The event manager is not a 'real' module, as in it isn't something you can put in a 'page', so there is no way to 'search' it from the front end...

Sorry, I was thinking this was the core event manager...

But that module is marked as stale in forge, 19 months since any updates...

Oh.. I'm sad to hear that :/ .. Not even with another search plugin? I can see how it can be difficult to search in the EventsManager plugin.. A created event doesn't generate a page, so I guess it wouldn't even work if I put in a custom Google search bar .. :/

I don't agree on this one.

The content should be searchable for this module and a test confirmed that it is. HOWEVER, it was only searchable after a reindex in MY test case.
