Hi,

I enabled the OG search block and used the OG Block visiblity module to display it only in my OG's

When I enter a search term in the OG search form I am redirected back to my site home page?

Any ideas?

Using firebug the code is :

<form id="views-exposed-form-og-search-default" method="get" accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/"> ------> when I enter the group name behind the / it works!!!!
<div><div class="views-exposed-form">
  <div class="views-exposed-widgets clear-block">
          <div class="views-exposed-widget">
                        <div class="views-widget">
          <div id="edit-keys-wrapper" class="form-item">
 <input type="text" class="form-text" title="Enter the terms you wish to search for." value="test" size="15" id="edit-keys" name="keys" maxlength="128"/>
</div>
        </div>
      </div>
        <div class="views-exposed-widget">
      <input type="submit" class="form-submit" value="Search group" id="edit-submit"/>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
</div></form>

you have ignored the notice when creating an issue to reproduce the problem without og helper modules

OOPs sorry.

I was unaware of any such notice, where is it? Ok so I disabled everything apert from OG and OG views integration. The problem remains, searching from within a group takes me directly back to the home page without any search results. Clearing the Views cache makes no difference. Any thoughts?

Just installed 6.x-2.x-dev (2009-Apr-24) Group Search still takes me back to home page (no search results)

We had the same problem and sponsored a custom module to fix it. I don't know if this is the best solution, but it works for us. I'd love feedback from other Drupal users and developers.

We have OG version 6.x-1.1 enabled.

Hi,

I too was having the same problem that when i exposed the filter, the search took me to home page.

Then I did a little of research(ok, it was google search!) and found out that only if we add "page" display, the exposed filter works as search. Now I have a well functioning search.

khan2ims,

when adding a "page" display, what path did you list? I am having the problem described in this thread, added a page display to the view, but my incorrect path returns errors when searching.

Thanks,
garen

garen,

I had the same problem and question ... as part of my testing I plugged "search" in as the path and lo and behold it seems to have just worked.

Use a path like search/group/%

You need to make sure the % is there in order say you are searching that group

I'm also experiencing the same issue. I've disabled the helper modules and enabled the group search block. I'm using 6.x-2.0.

I tried modifying the og_search view to add a "page" but wasn't able to get it to work with different values in the page path setting.

EDIT: Ok, I think my problem was I had actually cloned og_search to my_og_search and then disabled og_search. Would that cause this issue?
