• count: How many items to display. (Default: 20)

• split_keywords: If set to 1, the words in keywords will be search individually. If set to 0 (the default) the value of keywords is searched as a phrase.

Search Variables

• category, location, group, actor, not_category, not_location, not_group, not_actor: List of comma seperated ids
• orientation, race, hair, tits, pubic, body, setid, not_orientation, not_race, not_hair, not_tits, not_pubic, not_body: List of comma seperated names
• quality, type, gender, age_min, age_max, not_quality, not_type, not_gender: Name of the criteria

Description

This function is used to trigger a search through the content available. You can choose if it searches only for content currently active on the current site, any content in CARMA or something inbetween those two. You can choose to hardcode the search query to use or to let the surfer do the search themself.

Examples

Example 1

If you list_videos template and wanted to also show a photo set that had the same set id, you could use carma search this way inside the {foreach} ... {/foreach} statements:

{carma_search setid=$entry.setid content_type='gal' data_only=1}

Now you can use the variable $carma_search_results to output your photo set.

Example 2

You can also use carma_search to allow users to search for specific content. Below is a very basic dynamic search form using both carma_search adn carma_list. This example can be expanded to use any combination of the above search options.

{assign var="count" value=20}
{if $smarty.request.start }
  {assign var="start" value=$smarty.request.start}
{else}
  {assign var="start" value=0}
{/if}
{math assign="previous" equation="x - y" x=$start y=$count}
{math assign="next" equation="x + y" x=$start y=$count}
{carma_list siteid=$siteid count=500 list="actors" order="name ASC"}
