Blog: SearchInput

Hi Joe,

When a user is on a blog post page and they enter a search term into the SearchInput and either press enter or click the search button, they are returned to the current page. The issue only appears when the site is using Extension-less URLs. I even tried using the non-friendly URL but I got the same result. There aren't any errors written to the log when this occurs.

A skinning customer of mine found this on his site (not my hosting) and then found that my site does the same thing. You can see the problem in action at http://i7media.net/mojoportal-logs-hidden-in-plain-sight.

I have seen this problem in both 2.3.5.5 and 2.3.5.8. I am not sure if it existed before that because I don't have an older installation to test against. Also, the problem occurs in both .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0. I mention this because of the new way that .NET 4 handles extension-less URLs.

If you need more information, please let me know.

Thanks,
Joe D.

Re: Blog: SearchInput

Hi Joe,

I see the problem does happen on your site but I'm not having any luck reproducing it here. I configured for extensionless urls created a new page with an extansionless url and put a blog on it and made a blog post. Then I changed the skin to styleshout-refresh which has the search input and I visited the blog post detail page and tried to search and it worked as expected.

Can you try a different skin such as styleshout-refresh and see if you get the same problem or not? Maybe there is some other factor also required to produce the problem.

Best,

Joe

Re: Blog: SearchInput

I forgot to reply to this thread but after I added the search input to the skin on this site I began seeing this problem in the blog and then was able to replicate it on my local machine, and this was fixed in version 2.3.6.2 or mojoPortal.

Best,

Joe
