I hope anyone can point me in the right direction. I have a search form which searches in multiple contenttypes.
However I would like the possibility to search in all contenttypes (by default) and only in a few selected. It would be best when this goes automatically based on the usergroup. But I would be very much helped already when a user can filter the results based on contenttype.
So by default it searches in contenttyp: A, B and C.
My user should be able to search only in A and B, or A and C, or A and so on. (Preferably automatically selected based on their usergroup)
You could use beforesearch
check users usergroups and populate cck field accordingly

Thank you very much! I'm going to try this.
I have bought the code pack. And I have added a field before search in my list and search form. I have added the code: $user = JFactory::getUser(); $groups = JAccess::getGroupsByUser($user->id); var_dump($groups); It looks like this retrieve the usergroups. And after this I feel lost. How do I populate the core content type based on the usergroup?
Hello Liggie,
for exemple with the native SEBLOD Article Manager, and you want to modify the Category Filter:
In the Before Search script, you can dump the variable $fields.
You will see something like that:
If you dump the field $fields['search']['art_catid'], you can see the property "Form":
So, you can construct the form here.
If you are using a Select Simple, by default, add all cases in the select, and then depending on groups, you can remove unwanted options with something like that:
if ( ... ) {
$fields['search']['art_catid']->form = ' aaa '
} elseif ( ... ) {
$fields['search']['art_catid']->form = ' bbb '
} else....
Hoping it will help.
Regards.
Again a step in the right direction (I think....). Thanks for that. Could you please help me again? I feel like I'm almost there. But I lack the programming knowledge.
I have the following in before search: array(24) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#2930 (1) { ["title"]=> string(14) "Abonnees basis" } [1]=> object(stdClass)#2933 (1) { ["title"]=> string(26) "Abonnees Diervoeders basis" } [2]=> object(stdClass)#2322 (1) { ["title"]=> string(25) "Abonnees Diervoeders plus" } [3]=> object(stdClass)#
Now I need to filter the field core content type (select dynamic) based on the strings above. For example "Abonnees basis" has to be able to search in "wetgeving". I have completed the complete code it renders from beforesearch.
