SimpleSearch breaks website after server migration

[Lovehelmet]

• MODx admin works as expected but no webpage renders, just get an error 500.
• Uninstalling SimpleSearch fixes the issue and everything works fine.
• Reinstalling SimpleSearch breaks the site again.

Now, I have a site developed locally that van't go live with a functional search.

[halftrainedharry]

What versions of MODX and SimpleSearch are you using? (There are at the moment 2 different versions of SimpleSearch for MODX 2.x and 3.x respectively.)
What's the PHP version? How does the webserver differ from you local setup?

Can you check the PHP error log to see what the exact error message is?

Hi, I’m currently developing locally on two different MacBooks using: * ModX 3.0.1 * MAMP 6.6 * Apache web server * PHP 7.4.21 * MySQL 5.7.34 * SimpleSearch 3.0.0-alpha The setup is the same on both MacBooks. I migrate back and forth between these two MacBooks to keep all the sites up to date both at work and at home. This has never been a problem until I implemented SimpleSearch, which technically, is the perfect search tool for the kind of sites I develop. Now, The websites I develop with SimpleSearch all works perfectly. It’s when I migrate from one computer to the other it stops working, and not just SimpleSearch but the whole website. In ModX Manager all works but the website shows, apart from error 500, nothing, no source code, no nothing. If I uninstall SimpleSearch on this migrated website, everything works perfectly, apart for the search-function of course. If I re-install SimpleSearch it all breaks again. Simply put, I can only get SimpleSearch to work on the original website, not the migrated one, no matter on which of my to MacBooks I developed the website. I’ve also tried un-installing SimpleSearch AND removing all packages, deleting all cached files and then re-installing SimpleSearch. Same result unfortunately. //Bosse Bo Lovenhjelm [signature_2087664032] Frontend Developer [signature_1918481955] Direct: +46 433 27 30 38 NIBE AB NIBE Energy Systems Switchboard: +46 433 27 30 00 nibe.se<https://www.nibe.se> | nibe.eu<https://www.nibe.eu> | nibe.com<https://www.nibe.com> NIBE AB behandlar dina personuppgifter enligt: nibe.se/integritetspolicy<https://www.nibe.eu/sv-se/om-nibe/integritetspolicy> NIBE AB process your personal information according to: nibe.eu/privacypolicy<https://nibe.eu/privacypolicy> ***@***.*** Sedan 1952 har NIBE tillverkat energieffektiva klimatiseringslösningar för hem och större fastigheter.

Check the system setting "simplesearch.driver_class". Make sure the value is \SimpleSearch\Driver\SimpleSearchDriverBasic.

---

If this doesn't solve the problem then please check the PHP error log. An exact error message (where and why the error occurred) would help a lot to solve the issue.

If you are unsure where the PHP error log is located, take a look at the config file "php.ini". Probably the setting error_log. (Maybe also check the values of other settings like log_errors, display_errors, error_reporting.)

Hi again, I ended up with upgrading MAMP with mySQL to latest version on both computers which resolved the initial problem. However, now I have another issue.. SimpleSearch only returns hits if search is made from pages without subpages as seen in dump below. If search is made when on a subpage SimpleSearch seems to search for a resource in the parent of that subpage and not the actual searchresults page (id 46) which is in the root. Does SimpleSearch only work in sites that doesn't have subpages or is there a way to fix this? Search made from page without subpage:  Search made from page with subpage:  Resource tree in manager:

I don't quite understand what your setup is.

Do you show the search form on every page [[!SimpleSearchForm? &landing=`46`]] and then on page 46 you display the search results [[!SimpleSearch]]?

SimpleSearch should always search the whole website (all resources) unless you define a property like &ids in your snippet call.

[Lovehelmet]

yes, thst is exactly right. I have the search form included on every page via the menu and the results page is 46. it only finds theresulys page with id 46 from pages that is not subpages. From a subpage it searches from subpage it just ads id 46 to the end of the url and doesn't render hits on the results page. Hämta Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

What is the value of the action attribute in your form? This should be the same for every page and subpage.

<form class="simplesearch-search-form" action="searchresultspage.html" method="get">

What is the value of the action attribute in your template chunk?

But what is the actual value that is shown in the source code for the action attribute on your subpage?

What is the "Resource Alias" of your search-results-page? (On the screenshot this page seems to be unpublished. It should be published to be publicly accessible.)

The id parameter in the form <input type="hidden" name="id" value="[[+landing]]" /> is irrelevant if friendly-urls are used (which seems to be the case).

[Lovehelmet]

The actual value in the source code for the action attribute on your subpage is 46. The resource alias is: sökresultat - the same as the title. It is published but hidden from menus. So which id-parameter should be used for friendly urls?

And the rendered value in source code on every page when search is made is:
<form class="simplesearch-search-form" action="sökresultat/" method="get">

So when you submit the search form, there is a html-request to yourdomain.com/sökresultat/ on every page with a get parameter search for the search value.

Why wouldn't this work on a subpage? Maybe the <base> tag is wrong on your subpage?

On your screenshot above ("4 results found ...") why is there no sökresultat/ in the URL?

[Lovehelmet]

Well..
I've tried, tried and tried to make this work but feel like I'm at my wits end..
I'll try to explain this matter again and hope for a solution.

I have at setup on my localhost via latest MAMP 6.6.
MySQL 5.7.34
PHP 7.4.21
ModX 3.0.1-pl
SimpleSearch 3.0.0-alpha (standard setup, have not changed anything)

I've enabled Friendly URLs and every page has the same base URL
The search results page has the file name "Sökresultat", the resource alias "sokresultat" and the ID of "46".
This results page is published but hidden from menu and has the tag [[!SimpleSearch]] included in the content part of the page.

The SimpleSearch chunk "SearchForm" has the form:

<form class="simplesearch-search-form" action="[[~[[+landing]]]]" method="[[+method]]">
    <fieldset>
        <label for="[[+searchIndex]]">[[%simplesearch.search? &namespace=`simplesearch` &topic=`default`]]</label>
        <input type="search" name="[[+searchIndex]]" id="[[+searchIndex]]" value="[[+searchValue]]" />
        <input type="hidden" name="id" value="[[+landing]]" />
        <input type="submit" value="[[%simplesearch.search? &namespace=`simplesearch` &topic=`default`]]" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

No changes has been made to the snippets "SimpleSearch" or "SimpleSearchForm".

My search form has the code:

<form>
    <div class="row justify-content-center">
        <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-8">
            [[!SimpleSearchForm? &landing=`46`]]
        </div>
     </div>
</form>

If search for the term "bygg" is made from the start page (http://localhost/bootstrap/), the search results are displayed on the results page as expected.
The URL shown in this case is: http://localhost/bootstrap/?search=bygg&id=46
The rendered form code on the results page is:

<form class="simplesearch-search-form" action="sokresultat/" method="get">
    <fieldset>
        <label for="search">Sök</label>
        <input type="text" name="search" id="search" value="bygg" />
        <input type="hidden" name="id" value="46" />
        <input type="submit" value="Sök" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

If search is made from another page, for example: http://localhost/bootstrap/om-oss/, the search is made but SimpleSearch seems to look for the results page in the wrong place and the results page is not displayed with the results.
The URL shown in this case is: http://localhost/bootstrap/om-oss/?search=bygg&id=46

The rendered form code on this page is the same as above:

<form class="simplesearch-search-form" action="sokresultat/" method="get">
    <fieldset>
        <label for="search">Sök</label>
        <input type="text" name="search" id="search" value="bygg" />
        <input type="hidden" name="id" value="46" />
        <input type="submit" value="Sök" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

SimpleSearch makes the search but tries to render the results on the "om-oss" page though with the right id "46".
So it seems that SimpleSearch does not always look for the resource with, in this case, the id"46" relatively to the root, but to the page the search is made from and THEN add "?search=bygg&id=46" to the end of the URL.

Hence search made from root of site renders the search results via the intended resource with ID "46".
Example: http://localhost/bootstrap/?search=bygg&id=46

Search made from any other page tries to render the search results on the page search i made from via the intended resource with ID "46".
Example: http://localhost/bootstrap/om-oss/?search=bygg&id=46

I can't seem to figure out a solution to this problem.
I need the search to render the search results using the resource "sokresultat/" with id "46" from which ever page the search is made from and I desperately need help with this.

If you'd like, I could make a migration file zip and mail a link to file via Sprend so you can install the whole site and see for yourself.
ANY help to solve this problem asap is deeply appreciated.

Something is wrong with your friendly URLs.

When you navigate in the manager to the "Sökresultat" resource and click the "View" button (in the top right corner), what is the URL? It should be http://localhost/bootstrap/sokresultat (or maybe http://localhost/bootstrap/sokresultat.html).

Now if you manually add a "search" parameter to the URL (http://localhost/bootstrap/sokresultat?search=test) you should see the search results. This is all the search form has to do. Navigate to the "Sökresultat" page and provide a search string.

If nothing else works, maybe try hard-coding the "Sökresultat" URL in the search form.

If the URL of the "Sökresultat" is wrong, check the database table modx_site_content (columns "uri" and "alias") or try "Manage" -> "Clear Cache" -> "Refresh URIs".

---

The URL shown in this case is: http://localhost/bootstrap/?search=bygg&id=46

This URL is wrong. It should be http://localhost/bootstrap/sokresultat?search=bygg (or http://localhost/bootstrap/sokresultat?search=bygg&id=46)

The fact that it works is more a coincidence. When friendly URLs are not enabled, the URL of a page is http://localhost/bootstrap/index.php?id=46 (http://localhost/bootstrap?id=46 also works because index.php is the default file).

When friendly URLs are enabled the id parameter is generally ignored (?id=46), but it is still possible to request a page per id ( http://localhost/bootstrap/index.php?id=46) unless the system setting request_method_strict is set to Yes.

But you can't call http://localhost/bootstrap/om-oss/?id=46. There exists no index.php file in an om-oss folder! om-oss is used to load the corresponding resource and ?id=46 is ignored.
