Hi,
CCv6 can be used for building search engines that query custom data-tables. Fine.
Now I'm looking for a way to include the results from my CC search engines into the results of Joomla's search component.
Is there a ChronoEngine search plugin already available/started somewhere ?
If I must design it, I guess that the most difficult part would be to identify which menu items refer to Connection Events having "Read Data" functions that include "Search settings".
(Has someone already developed something comparable ?)
Then if we get results when querying the "Searchable fields", what I would need to show in Joomla's search results would be relatively simple.
For example, each connection event, could pass this set of values :
'href' => 'index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity6&view=connection&Itemid=matching_Itemid&event=matching_event&keyword=keywords_from_joomla_search
'title' => Connection name
'section' => plg_chronoconnectivity_search
'created' => Most recent DateTime value from the entries' "created" field (if any). Otherwise the current DateTime would be enough.
'text' => Menu item's Meta description, or Connection's Description
'browsernav' : 0
This way, by using Joomla's search, after clicking a CC result, the connection would be loaded with the proper Event and Keyword. Thus, the results from CC should be displayed.
Any help/better idea would be welcomed and very appreciated !
BTW, I'm also very interested in any idea on how Joomla's tags could be efficiently added to the entries of a custom table and how, based on CC connections, these entries could be included into Joomla's lists of tagged Items.
Like the Search feature, it's related to the idea of making ChronoEngine match the way that the CMS indexes and fetches the content.
Thank you in advance for your ideas and comments.
