Custom Search Page Upload Question

[kanderson97]

Hello,

I just downloaded your software and I am only having one problem.

The custom Look of my search page.

I am using a php server

I am fully aware of how to include the "search.php" file.

I know how to edit the "seach_template.html"

Everytime I reindex and publish it replaces the "seach.php" and "search_template.html" and "settings.php" file.

I just basically want to have a custom page. I know how to do it - I just would like to use the software to reindex and publish.

MY QUESTION: Is there a way I can publish using your software and still maintain my own custom search page? Any recommendations?

You should not need to modify "search.php" and "settings.php", so these files being replaced upon re-indexing are normal.

The "search_template.html" file is never overwritten when it already exists in the output directory. A new default file is created only when no such file exists.

If you are trying to create a PHP custom search page, you should look at this FAQ:
Q. How can I add server-side scripting (eg. PHP, ASP) to the search template?
