I am using htDig 3.1.6
I am trying to set up a select list to restrict searches to different school sites in
our district. I have searched the htDig site for days to find all the documentation I
can on this feature, but it still isn't working properly. I have included my code
below. There are two main issues:
1) If I select "Whole Site" from the RESTRICT_LIST, my searches return results. If I
select any other entry then I get the nomatch.html.
2) Whether I get search results or not, the search result pages only give me an empty
drop down list for the RESTRICT_LIST. If I put a default in the conf.html, then the
default is displayed in the list without any other values. If I add $(RESTRICT) to my
code, I can see that the correct value is being passed from the RESTRICT_LIST to the
search results page.
It is clear that some sort of restrict select list is a feature that many users want,
yet there is no single place that gives all the information on how to make it work. I
know that I am close and it is frustrating that I can't get it to work. What piece am
I missing? I would appreciate any help I can get.
Many Thanks!
Marilyn
In my conf.html, I have entered:
#
allow_in_form: restrict
#
build_select_lists: RESTRICT_LIST,select restrict restrict_names 2 1 2 restrict ""
restrict_names:
"" "Whole Site" \
"http://www.edina.k12.mn.us/concord/"; "Concord" \
"http://www.edina.k12.mn.us/cornelia/"; "Cornelia"
#
On my search page, I have:
<select name="restrict">
<option value="">Whole Site
<option value="http://www.edina.k12.mn.us/concord/";>Concord
<option value="http://www.edina.k12.mn.us/cornelia";>Cornelia
</select>
On the header.html, nomatch.html, syntax.htm. and wrapper.html pages, I have:
<form method="get" action="$(CGI)">
<p><font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
<strong>Keywords</strong>:
<input type="text" size="30" name="words" value="$&(WORDS)">
Limit to: $(RESTRICT_LIST)
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</font></p>
<p><font size="-1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
<input type="hidden" name="config" value="$&(CONFIG)">
<input type="hidden" name="exclude" value="$&(EXCLUDE)">
Match: $(METHOD) Format: $(FORMAT) Sort
by: $(SORT)</font></p>
</form>
