PHP Search and V5 Coolmax?

Unread post by bcgrossm »

Hello Tim,

We have an existing project (not set up by me) that uses the Search Platform PHP for the full text search. Locally, this shows the PHP script as text only (as it should) - on the server, the PHP search works.

We're now switching to V5 Coolmax, and I tried to set the full text search to PHP in HuM - however, this doesn't seem to work: it doesn't produce the expected files and just keeps showing the JS help only. I also tested this in the HuM demo project, and can't get it running there either.

Is there anything else I need to do?

All the best, Birgit

Hi Birgit,

You're setting the search options in your project, and those settings are being overriden by the corresponding settings in the skin. You just need to set the PHP search platform in the skin. To do this in Toolbox, edit the skin in Toolbox, then select Edit > Search Settings > View/Edit Search settings and change the Search Platform from JSFILE to PHP.
