I figured out the problem. Instead of using operator ~=, I should use %= to search properly

I found that search with substring of asian text is not working properly Some substring can be found but some are not. Here is a demo of this issue. Searching a japanese page

@Adrian, your code works. From reading the api doc https://processwire.com/api/include/ $temp_var = $wire->input->post->search; $temp_var = wire('input')->post->search; Aren't they equivalent ? --------------------------- Read again from my op, I putted a $ sign for the input, that's why it is not working

search <?php $page->body .= "Content Search<br/> <p> <form action='/pw1/query2.php' method='post'> <input type='text' id='search' autocomplete='off' name='search'> <input type='submit' value='submit'> </form> <p> <h4 id='results-text'>Showing results for: <b id='search-string'>Array</b></h4> <div id='results'></div> "; include("./main.php"); query2.php <?php // ProcessWire bootstrap include('index.php'); $temp_var = $wire->$input->post->search; //$temp_var = $_POST["search"]; echo($temp_var); When form submitted to query2.php, no form value echoed. if I use PHP built-in $_POST , submitted value is echoed.

You are correct.

No, the query.php is just an external php file put under the webroot of pw installation folder i.e I could direct access thru http://test.local/pw1/query.php /pw1 is a sub-folder of webroot, where pw installed.

i'm going to create a live content search. Typing in a text field will return search result on the fly. for testing purpose, I search on another database query,php <?php /************************************************ The Search PHP File ************************************************/ /************************************************ MySQL Connect ************************************************/ // Credentials $dbhost = "127.0.0.1"; $dbname = "ajaxsearch"; $dbuser = "root"; $dbpass = "root"; // Connection global $tutorial_db; $tutorial_db = new mysqli(); $tutorial_db->connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname); $tutorial_db->set_charset("utf8"); // Check Connection if ($tutorial_db->connect_errno) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", $tutorial_db->connect_error); exit(); } /************************************************ Search Functionality ************************************************/ // Define Output HTML Formating $html = ''; $html .= '<li class="result">'; $html .= '<a target="_blank" href="urlString">'; $html .= '<h3>nameString</h3>'; $html .= '<h4>functionString</h4>'; $html .= '</a>'; $html .= '</li>'; // Get Search $search_string = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/", " ", $_POST['query']); $search_string = $tutorial_db->real_escape_string($search_string); // Check Length More Than One Character if (strlen($search_string) >= 1 && $search_string !== ' ') { // Build Query $query = 'SELECT * FROM search WHERE function LIKE "%'.$search_string.'%" OR name LIKE "%'.$search_string.'%"'; // Do Search $result = $tutorial_db->query($query); while($results = $result->fetch_array()) { $result_array[] = $results; } // Check If We Have Results if (isset($result_array)) { foreach ($result_array as $result) { // Format Output Strings And Hightlight Matches $display_function = preg_replace("/".$search_string."/i", "<b class='highlight'>".$search_string."</b>", $result['function']); $display_name = preg_replace("/".$search_string."/i", "<b class='highlight'>".$search_string."</b>", $result['name']); $display_url = 'http://php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern='.urlencode($result['function']).'〈=en'; // Insert Name $output = str_replace('nameString', $display_name, $html); // Insert Function $output = str_replace('functionString', $display_function, $output); // Insert URL $output = str_replace('urlString', $display_url, $output); // Output echo($output); } }else{ // Format No Results Output $output = str_replace('urlString', 'javascript:void(0);', $html); $output = str_replace('nameString', '<b>No Results Found.</b>', $output); $output = str_replace('functionString', 'Sorry :(', $output); // Output echo($output); } } ?> custom.js /* JS File */ // Start Ready $(document).ready(function() { // Icon Click Focus $('div.icon').click(function(){ $('input#search').focus(); }); // Live Search // On Search Submit and Get Results function search() { var query_value = $('input#search').val(); $('b#search-string').text(query_value); if(query_value !== ''){ $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "query.php", data: { query: query_value }, cache: false, success: function(html){ $("ul#results").html(html); } }); }return false; } //$("input#search").live("keyup", function(e) { $("input#search").on("keyup", function(e) { // Set Timeout clearTimeout($.data(this, 'timer')); // Set Search String var search_string = $(this).val(); // Do Search if (search_string == '') { $("ul#results").fadeOut(); $('h4#results-text').fadeOut(); }else{ $("ul#results").fadeIn(); $('h4#results-text').fadeIn(); $(this).data('timer', setTimeout(search, 100)); }; }); }); While I step thru the js, it seems the query.php is not executed (or not found ?). As I input a random text, it should display "No Results Found." on the page.

I want to add a custom js for a specific page. instead of adding this js in master output template, how to add a js file to that template ?

support pw 2.5 ?

I don't quit get it. It is good to have a tutorial video, instead of module demonstration

it could be good to make a installation profile for others for learning

why not cart items stored in session ? any other consideration ?

without using the ListerPro paid module, how could i build such a management interface ?

which implementation is better for different queries mysite.com/brandname mysite.com/product-type mysite.com/men mysite.com/women using URL segment or create each of them with a page

Like SKU of a product in a e-commerce website ? I could not find related field option in the admin ui.

This setup good enough for a site selling one kind of product. How about multiple kinds of product ? for example an apparel store, computer store

I'm wondering Nico's module could be easily to extend to work with Page module

I submitted multi-language issue on page reference field https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/issues/889

A sidetrack with the ux. Since my local pw test site is configured as a mult-language, I found that those tags created by Page reference field will not make other languages active of tag.

That's method inspired me

There is a jq plugin https://github.com/aehlke/tag-it I'm thinking of how to write a module with this plugin. ps I'm just learning the front-end development of pw. I have zero knowledge on pw's module development.

my concern is, free tagging with comma separator ux are being used by all web application over the world, where ppl is already familar with

I have tried all the options of Input (Tab) > Input Field Type. They are not work as I desired. Most of them are provided a list box type.

I have setup free tagging. However the tag input behaviour different than most I used. Now, I could input one by one, instead of a single line separate with commas

If my understanding is correct, each tag is a page store under /config/tags/ That's is +config/tags/ -apple -banana -orange -lemon right ? Then, what is in /config ?
