Hello Michael,

Please review this very simple patch for the next version of the excellent JQGridPlugin

• Item10053.diff: Fall-back to SEARCH

New version of the patch sorts (more) correctly.

Paul, what's the github link to your branch of the plugin? You pasted it once on IRC but I can't find it anymore.

Ah got it https://github.com/csirac2/JQGridPlugin ... strange search on github...

I think it's almost done, but there seems to be bug a in SEARCH that means showpage="n" doesn't work.

-- PaulHarvey - 10 Jun 2011

Ah, and edit="on" is broken

-- PaulHarvey - 10 Jun 2011

And recently I broke it so that if you set a filter that produces zero results, you get invalid XML (stray </literal> tag)

I am now about to restructure the complete plugin. We will have independent connectors for dbcache, normal search, a generic topic connector as well as a solr connector. Also interesting: connectors to a real database, or attached xml or json documents.

The new parameter that you introduced querytopic has been renamed to connector to either be one of a connector ID as configured in LocalSite.cfg or an existing web.topic.

Other plugins will be able to register new grid connectors using an entry to LocalSite.cfg like this

$Foswiki::cfg{JQGridPlugin}{Connector}{solr} = 'Foswiki::Plugins::SolrPlugin::JQGridConnector';

made use of with a %GRID{connector="solr"...}%.

There are abstract classes for connectors to encapsulate the most common features. A connector must implement a method to search and to save content. There's a large group of connectors of course that all would use the same way to save native Foswiki content. These inherit from a FoswikiConnector subclass that already comes with the appropriate save methods ... as far as they are implemented right now (needs improvement in its own).
