Sorry,

my Content Structure isn't updating itself, it just sticks with the home page with no sub-structure. And my Search Module is missing.

Searching these forums, I found these two were occasionally tied together by using fastcgi.. which I'm still not sure I use, but I also read about a fix using site.ini, which I apparently don't have access to and am wondering if the same fix can be done using php.ini - which I have access to.

Yes!! Finally a case where I could use web developer toolbar's (Firefox addon) "Convert Form Methods -> GET to Post", and searching for gtaIV gave me 3 results (all images).
So you probably didn't change the correct template when you tried to change the form method, or you forgot to clear the template / template block cache.

As for content structure, there is a patch in a "content structure menu fastcgi" issue in the issue tracker created by me, try it out.

[TemplateSettings]
ShowUsedTemplates=disabled

> then went to the ACP and cleared all of my caches
I guess you mean APC?
Any way, the cache I wanted you to clear is eZ Publish cache, in admin interface go to 'Setup'.

But I'm not convinced you edited the correct templates, since you are using ezflow these are the templates in use with search forms:
extension/ezflow/design/ezflow/templates/pagelayout.tpl
extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/content/search.tpl
extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/content/advancedsearch.tpl

> Also.. I downloaded your patch for the tree menu in fastcgi, but I'm not sure how to apply it.

It's a diff file, but the fix will most probably be part of 4.0.1 so you'll get it eventually.

The two files you changed are the forms/templates you get when you go to the search and advancesearch pages. The forms in the page layout is placed in..... pagelayout..
As for finding what you are looking for, searching for "content/search" in you editor probably helps(ctrl + f in most editors).

> could that be causing problems?
Yes, rewrite rules + cgi + get request are a bit trouble some.
The content structure menu currently use get request, thats why it doesn't work for cgi users.

I have the same problem with the whole ? in the normal url thing. I was able to get my search to show up using the "post" method as explained above by explicitly changing the method to "post" on the form tag in all the search templates, namely:

extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\templates\content\search.tpl
extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\templates\content\advancedsearch.tpl

and whatever pagelayout.tpl you happen to be using that has a search box. mine is
extension\ezodf\design\ezwebin\override\templates\pagelayout.tpl
that was after i created an override in the ACP. I believe the default location for pagelayout.tpl is
extension\ezwebin\design\ezwebin\templates\pagelayout.tpl
or
design\base\templates\pagelayout.tpl
but i could be wrong on either one.

*************************************** file:pagelayout.tpl **********************************

      <form action={"/content/search"|ezurl} method="post">
        {if eq( $ui_context, 'edit' )}
        <input id="searchtext" name="SearchText" type="text" value="" size="20" disabled="disabled" />
        <input id="searchbutton" class="button-disabled" type="submit" value="{'Search'|i18n('design/ezwebin/pagelayout')}" alt="Submit" disabled="disabled" />
        {else}
        <input id="searchtext" name="SearchText" type="text" value="" size="20" />
        <input id="searchbutton" class="button" type="submit" value="{'Search'|i18n('design/ezwebin/pagelayout')}" alt="Submit" />
            {if eq( $ui_context, 'browse' )}
             <input name="Mode" type="hidden" value="browse" />
            {/if}
        {/if}
</form>

**************************************************************************************************

don't forget to clear the cache afterwards. I find it quicker to delete any files under var/cache and var/[site]/cache. This will force ez publish to recompile the templates.
Now i have a new error. When i clear the cache then do a search for, lets say, "test" i get the results page like normal, but when i do consecutive searches i get results from my initial search of "test" which leads me to believe that it's a caching issue. Is there any way to control the cache for the search?

btw i am using normal cgi for php on IIS 6.

you are absolutely right, i forgot to close off a cache-block in pagelayout.tpl. Now search is working flawlessly like it should, thx for the tip. here's a link if you would like to see.

Forget it. I'm going to switch hosts, this one has a 15 day cancellation policy.. so I'm just going to transfer to a host who supports eZ from the get go.
