search CB field

hello,

i tried using the search plugin 1.0.1. it does not work.... But is there no plugin where i can configure CB to search certain fields. Its such a shame i bought a PRO and this basic thing is not provided by CB.

It works fine in all my tests. What do you mean it does not work? It's designed to allow searching of CB users based off the fields selected in its configuring using Joomla Search Module (it does not work with Smart Search). You can also search CB fields using a CB Userlist, which is built into CB. Please read your documentation available for download in the Advanced download section for userlist usage information.

WHat works for you my friend need not work the same for others, i dont expect support to be RUDE after paying for the software. All I said was it does not work. I will try the CB users list and post, Thanks.


UPDATE: How do you enable searchable fields in user list. They are already enabled as searchable in User fields.

Here is what I have done on my sites and it is working just fine:

On my Joomla 2.5.8 site (have no idea what version you have since you did not provide it), I installed and published the Joomla 2.5 CB search plugin (v. 1.0.1).

I then edited its parameters to add the CB fields I want the search to consider.

I then make sure that these CB fields are in fact searchable (this you do from the CB Field manager - check your CB documentation as it explains this).

Once I have completed the above, then the Joomla search box on my site (needs the Joomla search module published to show up) allows me to also include results from CB profiles.

It also is working for me and many others.
Sorry, I see nothing rude in Kyle's response and I am positive that his intention was not to appear rude.

Please note when you say something like "it doesn't work" you are not really being as helpful as you could. To really help us help you, you should always give complete details of your environment (versions of Joomla, CB, PHP, other relevant add-ons and describe what configuration steps you took and exactly what results you are seeing.

This way no guessing has to be made and your issue will be resolved much quicker.

This was more professional NICK, I really appreciate it and I understand from my side what I could have better like you explained. I am sure if people read, you can see the difference in both the answers, as to how you handled the situation. IF he did not mean to be rude I apologize. BUT I APPRECIATE the help again. I will post after I try it.

Thanks Again.

UPDATE: I have Joomla 2.5.8, Plugin 1.0.1, have enabled it, added search parameters as you explained. I also have made those fields searchable, and published a module search, but yet search results come 0. I dont know where i am missing something.

Suggest then you post screenshots of your:

Joomla CB serach plugin parameters.

Your CB Field parameters for the fields you have selected in the Joomla plugin area.

Do you have privacy perhaps enabled on your website?
