[development] Search

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

This is what we do on a Drupal 5 site. Should work more or less the same on
D6 as well.

In template.php, we include an inc file that handles the XML from the
external site, and then we add "sponsored results". Like so:


function phptemplate_search_page($results, $type) {
  $enable_external = FALSE;

  $external = path_to_theme() . '/something_search.inc';
  if (file_exists($external)) {
    include_once($external);
    if (function_exists('external_search')) {
      $enable_external = TRUE;

      // This is the search term. Remove + in case it is a multiword search
      //$key = trim(preg_replace('/\+/i', ' ', arg(2)));
      $key = arg(2);

      // run the function to get results
      $external_results = external_search($key);

      list($jr_top, $jr_bottom, $jr_sidebar) = $external_results;
    }
  }

  $output = '<dl class="search-results">';

  if ($enable_external) $output .= '<div class="sponsored">' . $jr_top .
'</div>';

  foreach ($results as $entry) {
    $output .= theme('search_item', $entry, $type);
  }

  if ($enable_external) $output .= '<div class="sponsored">' . $jr_bottom .
'</div>';

  $output .= '</dl>';
  $output .= theme('pager', NULL, 10, 0);

  return $output;
}
