Hello!

I have created and installed a j-cook component named DojoManager in my site.
It is working perfectly.

But now I want to make a search plugin for this component.
Joomla's default search works fine but it could not include my component in search result.

So, I created a search plugin for dojomanager with the help of this tutorial:
docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_search_plugin

Plugin is installed successfully but on the frontend it is not working at all!.
When i search anything, it gives a blank page.

What I am doing wrong??

Please help me out asap.


Thanks and regards,
NV Infotech.

Hi @nvinfotech,

Whilst I've never written a search plugin, I've seen the convention which is pretty straight-forward...

What version of J! have you written it for?

Mostly, I've found with any plugin development, when they seem to do nothing, most often, the class naming has been done incorrectly... Well, on a quick check of the documentation that you linked to it seems that both J2.5 & J3.2 versions have forgotten to add 1 very important thing!:

The class signature - class PlgSearchDojomanager extends JPlugin

Basically, you need to paste the following after the require once statement:Then, place another closing brace at the end of the file:
That should do it... Do check the naming conventions to be sure though. If in doubt, switch on error reporting and I'm sure you'll see the class/file and line number that is the issue.

Hope it helps,

Gez

Did you get this sorted?

Thanks for the reply....

It actually solved my problem by testing....

I tried the solution you give.
In addition to that, there was a problem in require statement in my code.
It was really not used in my plugin so I removed it and tried and fortunately it works for me.

Thanks again for your support.
