Hello,
Sorry to bother, but I tried to setup Searching in attachment contents based on this tutorial
after having setup the index table according to:
https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/index-table/generating-the-index-table
but I get no results.
For example, searching “Film de Contretypage” in the Ajax Search (in the footer) should point to https://www.filmlabs.org/docs/FilieresCoul.pdf
Or searching “PROCÉDÉ AU D96” to https://www.filmlabs.org/docs/dev/negatif-nb.pdf
Or “R9 – BLANCHIMENT” to http://www.filmlabs.org/docs/prep/prepa-inversible-nb.ods
But none of these work. Did I miss something?
Thank you for your help,
NicolasHi!
Thank you very much for the details, it helps us a lot.
I logged in to check the issue. I don’t see the documents you linked in the WordPress media library, in fact there are no PDF files registered at all: https://i.imgur.com/RXtJCPJ.png
The files does not seem to be in the media library, so the plugin can not access them unfortunately.Ah! Thank you for looking. This explains that.
All the documents for the technical section of the website (documentation scans etc.) , and this means a large number of documents, are all in a /docs folder , and were not entered via WordPress.
This is an heritage from the previous non-Wordpress version of the website, and also a way to make the links to these documents “human-readable”.
I thought that the fact of a document being linked to from a WP page would be sufficient for it to be scanned.
I understand now that this is not the way it is setup.
Maybe it would be nice as an extra feature to be able to add a folder to be scanned? Or maybe it doesn’t make sense.
In the meantime I guess we will have to live without the possibility to search on the contents of these documents, as I don’t think we would change all these links.
All the best,
NicolasHi Nicolas,
Hopefully we can add a feature like that in a future release, but for now it is very problematic for many reasons. We have that already on our requests list, so hopefully we can come up with something in a future patch 🙂
Hello Ernest,
Ok ; it is good know that other people have requested that as well, that it is not just our very specific problem.
But I totally understand that it can’t be on top of the list.
Your plug-in is very impressive already in terms of the possibilities that it gives.
All the best,
Nicolas
