I added a few classifications to my site. One of them was a search by pairings. If you go to "Most Recent" and then select a pairing and hit go, it will show up a list of all the most recent stories. It is as if the site doesn't even recognize the classification. The only way you can search for that pairing is to go to the "Browse" block and hit pairing then select the pairing. Otherwise it doesn't show up if you search using all the other methods.

Is there something else I needed to do in order to get these extra classifications to be searchable other than having to go to the classifications under browse?

Thanks so much.

Might have to do with your skin & what's specified there.

So it would be in the skins, then? Do you might know where? I was looking in the search.php and thought it looked like it might go in there, but wasn't positive. I couldn't find where it might go in the skins.php. I looked in every file and nothing looked right.

Thanks for your help Lyndsie

It would be in the browse.tpl of your skin. Not all skins have one. If it doesn't, you can copy the one out of default_tpls and add it to the skin's folder for modification.

Turn debug on so I can see the queries.

Okay what did you do?  Pairings isn't a classification.  I can tell from the URL.  Have you created your own mod here?

BTW.  If you're going to use my theme I prefer that you leave the credit intact.

First, that's just odd, because I added them as a new classification type in the admin panel. They work fine if you search them using the "Browse" block. You can search for the Pairing, slash pairing, team, or genre. Those are the four that are listed under my "Classifications" there. But when you try to do the "Search" option, it shows up all the most recent. It won't filter them when you pick one of these there.
Am I just misunderstanding what the classifications are? I thought this was how I was supposed to do them since they worked fine searching under the browse block. I just thought maybe I was missing code somewhere else to make it work under the search function. So if I want add a new classification like that, then what else do I need to do, or am I just doing it completely wrong?

And as far as your skin. I didn't take anything off. I actually uploaded it like it is. I don't know what could have happened to your credit, and I'm very sorry about that, but I can add something back. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. I even wanted to add something to the Midnight Blue skin where Kali changed the color and all it was was a simple color change. So please don't think I did that on purpose, because I did not. I'm sorry about that, but I can fix that. I'll do that later today when I get a chance.

Thanks for all your help.

OK, I just went in to check why your credit isn't showing up and it's showing up in the footer.php of both skins as

<!-- START BLOCK : footer -->
</div><div class="cleaner">&nbsp; </div>
</div></div>
</div></div>
<div id="footermenuA"><div id="footermenuB"><div id="footermenuC">{tos}{rules}{contactus}</div></div></div>
<div id="footer">{footer}<br/><br/><!-- Skin design by <a href="" http://efiction.hugosnebula.com/">Tammy</a> ." --></div>
<!-- END BLOCK : footer -->

But it's not showing up on the site. I knew I hadn't modified that, so got any suggestions as to why that isn't showing up either.  😡 It's very discouraging that I can't seem to get anything to work right. Just when I think I have this thing figured out.  😮

Again, I'm very sorry about that. Thanks for your help.

The credit is commented out. The HTML with the brackets and the ! means it won't show in a browser.

OK, so I take out this part of the code?

<br/><!

or this?

<br/><br/><!

To make it show up? Thanks so much for pointing that out. I didn't realize that a (!) or the brackets would make it not show up.

The line should look like this:


<div id="footer">{footer}<br/><br/>Skin design by <a href="" http://efiction.hugosnebula.com/">Tammy</a>.</div> ;"

You keep using "search" in different places in different ways so I'm confused.

Pairings ARE working on the search page.
Pairings ARE working when you broiwse them.
When you filter on the browse page, that doesn't seem to be working.

Is that what you mean?  Try taking the underscore out of the name of the classtype.  Pairings instead of Pairings_

OK, sorry if I'm being confusing. I'm going to try and explain this again and hopefully I can get this right.

In the "Browse" section, if you click on the Pairing, Slash Pairing, Team, Genre (these are the four I added, that's why I'm listing them all), it will take you to the page that each of these are listed.

So using "Pairings" as a base, if you click on it, it shows up all the listed pairings I have. If you click on the pairing you want, it automatically brings up the stories that are classified with that pairing. It works. It's fine.

Now...

If you go to "most recent", it pulls up the stories in update order. If you try to filter them by there by using the "Pairings" filter, it will pull all the stories up again. It doesn't filter like it should. It's basically just showing you the same thing you were seeing as "most recent".

If you try to do the search and then hit "advanced search", then try to filter your "pairings", again, it just shows the stories that have updated starting with the most recent. It doesn't filter then search.

The only way the "pairings" etc. classifications work, is if you use the browse section and pick your option. I can't figure out why it works there and not using search or Most recent, etc. options.

I hope that helped clarify.  Thanks so much!
