Request Elxis 4.x extensions

[datahell]

For 1: No, this does not happens. Search for "voltage" and you will get the "Wash Pump" article in which "voltage" is not among article's tags. Search has nothing to do with tags. Tags is an excellent way to group similar items and works differently than full text search, don't confuse them. Content search for a given keyword is being performed on title, subtitle, introduction text and main text.

For 2, 3: excel is a bad idea. (a) It cannot contain complex data neither their relation, but only a flat list of rows. Databases, like Elxis has, are far more complex. (b) It does not support utf-8 characters. If you use an other than MS spreadsheet program then you will have utf-8 support although it is almost certain that most users will face serious encoding issues. (c) The columns in the xls file should match those of the database. Else you will mess everything up. (d) It will take you much more time to add the data in xls and then import them in Elxis. (e) How on earth you will write rich html text (for example category description) inside the tiny excel cells? (f) How you will create images in multiple dimensions, upload them in the proper folders and link them back to the database entry?

There are many other reasons why an excel import is a bad idea but I think you got the idea. Of course someone could build a custom application that would import only a few things and with caution but this is not a generic solution to implement in the main Elxis release. We would never include something in Elxis that would possible lead to problems. Elxis is famous for its stability and security, we want to keep it this way.

These words are too shorts.

Hi, 
Why not support "3 word"  or  " 2 word " search?

BMW is famous name. And XO is also famous as wine. So if it could support 2 words above , THE SEARCH TOOL will be powerful.

And also i have idea: if i input " BMW + PUMP" , The search tool can help me find the text including " BMW" AND " PUMP" .


And i also have an idea(it is not for search tool, it is for publish function:

the search engine like to visit website who always have new information regularly. Could we have the function to set the time to publish after finishing editing.

For example, now for products publishing, we can choose "publish" or not.. And my idea is to add function to set when to publish.

Then when we finish all products publishing, the products can be automatically  published. 

Is that possible?

Words less than 4 characters are not accepted in order to reduce database load.

Open this file:
components/com_search/engines/content.engine.php
go to line 69:
if (eUTF::strlen($q) > 3) { $this->options['q'] = $q; $this->dosearch = true; }   
and change it to:
if (eUTF::strlen($q) > 2) { $this->options['q'] = $q; $this->dosearch = true; }

Now you can search with words of 3 characters.

Hi Datahell,

Due I need to implement something like I described on reply #68   I need to know If you expect to build a plugin or module and when. If not, I will install cartogram, Ultimate Google Maps wordpress plugins (I don't like having to install wordpress) and integrate with Elxis 4 using a wrapper iframe. Or I'll use Maplace (jquery javascript plugin) and integrate manually in Elxis 4.

Thanks a lot

I attach Turkish translation files for Paypal donations and Exchange rates extensions. A short note to webgift. In the English language file for Exchange rates, the word "demicals" (in two lines) should be "decimals".

[webgift]

Hello webgift,

I advise there is statistics which can help you find where is visitor from which countries , from which search engine, etc.

Is it a good idea?

Best regards.

[webgift]

Hello ipghmagnet ,
Can you please analyze me better for what purpose you need such an information? It's true that (if you want my opinion) i don't trust such tools very much.

hello webgift,

i have found third-party module . if i put its script into website page and then i log into third-party homepage. It can analyze how many visits today and also can show where they are from and by which key words , they use and find our website.  So it can help us a little for target visitors. 

by the way, is it possible to add chinese languages? 

by the way, i have a question, by using wordpress and elxis, which one will be ranked higher by google?  I heard that google like blog more than other CMS.

As far as I know, the "statistics" function on the admin main page displays visitors' and registered users' IP address, browser type and OS. It is also possible to view the number of visits, etc. Therefore, I personally believe that another extension to cover these issues might be unnecessary. One solution might be that the "statistics" function on the admin main page can be extended by the script author to display visitors' location and search engine statistics as well.

As for the second question - that of whether Google ranks Wordpress or Elxis better - I did not know that Google had such a preference!
