Minimum # of Characters to use Search Form

joebarker99 · May 9, 2008

I'd like to edit this search page so that the search form requires a minimum number of characters in order to submit. Can someone create a code that I can add to this page? I've included the code of my 'search_links.tpl' page and my 'search.php' page. Thanks.

search_links.tpl:

you could use javascript

function minLen(){
     var str = document.getElementById('search').value;
     if(str.length > 3){
          document.myForm.submit();
     }
}

<form action="search.php" method="get" name="myForm">
     <input type="text" name="search" id="search" />
     <input type="button" onclick="minLen()" value="Search" />
</form>

joebarker99 · May 10, 2008

I tried to copy and paste the first code into the search_links.tpl page and the second code into the search.php page. I'm not sure if that's what I was supposed to do but it didn't work for me. As you can probably tell, I'm very new to this. If I am supposed to copy and paste this code onto these pages could you please tell exactly where I should paste it?

DarkWater · May 10, 2008

Both go into the template.

joebarker99 · May 10, 2008

Ok, I inserted both sets of code into the search_links.tpl page (lines 27-37) so that it now looks like the code below. But now when I try to use the search I get this error: "Fatal error: Smarty error: [in search_links.tpl line 33]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'var' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580) in /home/content/j/u/s/justnoti/html/admin/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1088"

I've also included, at the bottom of the page, lines 567-581 of the Smarty_Compiler.class.php file and lines 1079-1089 of the Smarty.class.php file in case you need that to understand the error. Thanks for your help.

Enclose the function code in {literal}{/literal} tags. =)

joebarker99 · May 10, 2008

I've enclosed the function code in {literal}{/literal} tags but it only results in the function code being displayed in text form on the search page and doesn't do anything about requiring a minimum number of characters to use the search form. I realize I may be doing this incorrectly. Here's the code with the function code enclosed in the {literal}{/literal} tags (starting with line 27). Please let me know if I'm doing this incorrectly and what I should do to correct it.

if's it JS shouldn't it be enclosed in script tags?

Something simular to this (copy and paste bits and pieces NOT ALL OF IT!!):

<p> </p>
<script type="text/javascript">
function minLen(){
     var str = document.getElementById('search').value;
     if(str.length > 3){
          document.itemForm.submit();
     }
}
</script>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10">

<form action="search.php" name="itemForm" id="itemForm" method="get">
<!-- MORE HTML HERE -->
<input type="button" class="button" onclick="minLen();" name="do_search" value="{$smarty.const.LA_SEARCH2}" />

You need html <script> tags inside of your Smarty {literal}'s.

I tried that too. Couldn't get it to work. Can anyone out there create a code for this?
