DJ-ContentFilters basic usage
This element will allow you to build advanced search engines based on your Joomla content!
After installing the extension, make sure that the DJ-ContentFilters plugin is enabled.
Configuration
If you want to use DJ-ContentFilters on your site, the first step would be to create a menu item with the type "
Category Blog"
The next step of configuration is to create a unique template for our menu item. You can do this by following the video below.
Then we need to enable DJ-ContentFilters for the section where we want to place the search form.
If no category is selected in the DJ-ContentFilters configuration, the search engine will work on all categories that are published (including the ROOT category).
Once we have completed the basic configuration of DJ-ContentFilters, we can move on to building our form.
Information about currently available fields and their configuration you can check here.
For the search engine to work properly, it is necessary to embed the "Submit button" in the "DJ-ContentFilters" section
If you have already configured the search engine according to your needs, you should now assign the results to a data container such as the "
Grid" element
Pagination
In order for the DJ-ContentFilters to work correctly, the "Pagination" element from the "DJ-ContentFilters" group must be used. The "Pagination" element from the "system" group will not work correctly with search results
