Seen Curtis' blog today... nice to hear there will finally be a |
| 2 |
search thing on the redesign. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
So, i have some code to propose for that feature, that i had |
| 5 |
already mentionned on getoo-dev@ last time it was discussed, but |
| 6 |
that i have reworked a bit since. It is here in action: |
| 7 |
http://tdegreni.free.fr/gentoosearch/ |
| 8 |
With the code actually in a JS file: |
| 9 |
http://tdegreni.free.fr/gentoosearch/GentooSearch.js |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The idea is to have a text search field (sure...) plus two levels |
| 12 |
of select menus to target the search. The second level depends on |
| 13 |
what was selected on the first: |
| 14 |
* Website (using Google): |
| 15 |
-> All www.gentoo.org |
| 16 |
-> Documentation |
| 17 |
-> Projects pages |
| 18 |
-> GWN: Weekly News |
| 19 |
-> GLEP: Enhanc. Prop. |
| 20 |
-> GLSA: Security Ann. |
| 21 |
-> Dev. Handbook |
| 22 |
-> The Doc |
| 23 |
-> Dev. pages |
| 24 |
* Forums (using phpBB): |
| 25 |
-> All |
| 26 |
-> ...each individual forum... |
| 27 |
* Mailing Lists (using GMane): |
| 28 |
-> All |
| 29 |
-> ...each ML which has GMane archives... |
| 30 |
* Bugs (using the bugs.g.o): |
| 31 |
-> All bugs |
| 32 |
-> Open bugs |
| 33 |
-> Closed bugs |
| 34 |
* Packages (using packages.g.o): |
| 35 |
-> All (there is not much to refine here) |
| 36 |
* Wiki (using gentoo-wiki.org): |
| 37 |
-> English wiki |
| 38 |

It now has support for I18N, which allows adding/removing/renaming |
| 40 |
some options of the 2nd select menu depending on the browser |
| 41 |
language. For now, i've used that for french only, in order to: |
| 42 |
- rename some entries, like "All" becoming "Tous" |
| 43 |
- for "Website", add a search for all french pages of www.g.o, one |
| 44 |
for french documentation, one for french GWN, and one for french |
| 45 |
dev handbook. |
| 46 |
- for "Forums", bump the French forum higher in the list |
| 47 |
- for "Wiki", add search on fr.gentoo-wiki.org |
| 48 |

The code is now all in the JS file, and only requires an onload |
| 50 |
event in the HTML page. I had made this change because i was |
| 51 |
thinking to make it a GreaseMonkey script at the end if there was |
| 52 |
finally no search form on wwwredesign, but anyway it also has the |
| 53 |
benefit to show the form only in JS-enabled browsers, which is good |
| 54 |
since it is required (sure we could think of having a simpler form |
| 55 |
for non-JS browsers). |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I think it is now a bit cleaner that it used to be, and would only |
| 58 |
require little modification to be usable on wwwredesign. If you |
| 59 |
think it worths it, feel free to do whatever is needed for |
| 60 |
copyright or license (i've put that code in public domain). And |
| 61 |
sure i'm available for questions/requests. |
| 62 |

Hope that helps, |
