SobiPro Search Plugin

Short description

PrSobiProSearch is a native Joomla! 1.6.x/1.7.x plugin developed by Prieco S.A.
It extends the core Joomla search function to SobiPro items and categories.

If you use PrSobiProSearch, please post a rating and a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory (JED).

Please, check it here in the demo site, where you can find the classic SobiPro business directory.

Installation & Upgrading

Download the last version of the plugin and install it using the default install procedure of Joomla!.

Required: Joomla! 1.6.x, 1.7.x, or 2.5.x.

Configuration

These are the parameters of the plugin:

Search Limit - The number of Search items to return. The default value is 50.
Catalog/Section PID - Search catalog/section identification.
Description Field ID - If the field is defined, the search description is filled with the description field.
Menu Item ID - Menu Item Identification to set a results page context.
Cache Time - Right now, SobiPro does not have the Catalog/Section PID in every node of the tree. So there's a need to traverse the full tree in every search to check if the object belongs to the directory. To improve this query, we have a Modified Preorder Tree Traversal and a cache table.
