ii404 with trip_search - please help

apologies for the bump, but surely this seems like a straight forward question which should have a very easy answer ... please could someone take a moment to point me in the right direction?

thanks nedjo - much appreciated.

hmm see what you mean about handling the $results ... not as easy as I thought :(

this is the module I'm trying to modify, with your code added:

// Derived from i404.module by Steven Wittens at http://drupal.org/node/12668
function ii404_help($section) {
  switch ($section) {
    case 'admin/modules#description':
      return t('Perform a search when a page is not found.');
  }
}
function ii404_menu() {
  $items[] = array('path' => 'ii404',
    'title' => t('Page not found'),
    'callback' => 'ii404_page',
    'access' => 1,
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK);
  return $items;
}
function ii404_page() {
  drupal_set_title(t("Page not found"));
  // These are words that should be ignored in the URL
  $no = array("dump", "zip", "avi", "a");
  $uri = $_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'];
  $uri = strtolower(substr($uri, 0, strpos($uri, '/')));
  $uri .= "://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
  global $base_url;
  $uri = substr($uri, strlen($base_url) + 1);
  $uri = urldecode($uri);
  $output = t("<p>The page you requested, $base_url/$uri, was not found.</p>");
  $keys = split("[^A-Za-z]+", $uri);
  $keys = array_diff($keys, $no);
  $keys = trim(implode(" ", $keys));

  if ($keys) {
    $parsed_keys = trip_search_parse($keys);
    $find = trip_search_get('node', $parsed_keys);
      if (variable_get('trip_search_rank_results', 1)) {
       $results = trip_search_rank_results($find, $parsed_keys);
      }
      else {
       $results = $find;
      }
      if ($results) {
      $output .= t("<p>For your convenience, a search was performed using the query '<i>%keys</i>':</p>", array("%keys" => $keys));
      $output .= $results;
      }
      else {
      $output .= t("<p>A search was performed for '<i>%keys</i>', but nothing was found.</p>", array("%keys" => $keys));
      }
  }
  print theme("page", $output);
}

as it stands, $results just comes through as the word 'Array' in the html.

I guess I would need to rip some code from the trip_search.module ... but that appears - at a first glance - to be quite extensive ....

I'm wondering if it would be easier to redirect the 'page not found' $keys to trip_search via a url and simply return a standard trip_search results page ... ?

any suggestions very much welcome.

I think the function of the ii404 module is a very good one but I have sadly been unable to get it to work with 4.6 Trip Search.

I would like to keep it open in the hope that someday someone clever will come along and waive their magic wand at it .... :)

Personally I've been putting off the upgrade to Drupal 4.7 yet but it seems that the increasingly unavoidable due lack of support for 4.6.

@ mindless : Thank you for the suggestion. As you no doubt realise this is a very old issue so I'm not running anything currently that would benefit. I do still like the feature and I will try out your suggestion when time permits. Please feel free to close this issue.

Many thanks,
JohnG
