More weirdness - missing blog post

No. Okay. I need to really push on members to upload images or they will not show up.

This includes the activity timeline too, right?

Makes sense. One reason I started up test accounts. I keep a test account in another browser entirely.

Closing this one down.

What's happening is the the search on

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/10?search_string=renee

does not return what's found in the results of the search within the modules.

So, I have to go to the profile and click around to find stuff.

Related to searching, but off-topic: I notice the search for renee is also missing a member whose name is ReneeJR - any way to make this a substring match %renee%?

Search results formatting - long member names wrap weirdly


Installation and Configuration

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/10?search_string=renee

There was a similar wrapping problem, I remember, on the .../gallery page when the combined length of the strings was inconsistent - some occupied two lines and some occupied three.

When that happened we got weird wraps. In this case, @Jacqueline Renée du Nord is on three lines which pushes @renee heyward down which pushes @renee hay on to a line of her own.

I think we are seeing the same issue here.

Brian -

It's the difference between what I see when the search finds (just) a user name:

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/10?search_string=renee
http://www.thechocolatelife.com/gallery/ss=renee
http://www.thechocolatelife.com/blog/ss=renee

The search for Renee did not return any of the images or the blog.

whereas

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/10?search_string=cocoa

finds users with cocoa in the name and more.

Okay, I see how this works now.

One thing to check on is that if I have a member whose profile is inactive and who has set global privacy to Profile Owners Only they still appear in this view - which I would not expect.

It's more that search results behave very differently when the only result is a member name.

For example, here's a search on "cocoa"

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/10?search_string=cocoa

That finds results in many modules, including blogs. I understand why, now, but it might lead people to think that there's nothing there or that something is broken.

The larger discussion about it being less useful is not for this thread. But it is something I want to take up with the team, so I will follow up later on this. (Prior to getting into chocolate this was one area of considerable professional experience.)

If a profile does not have a profile image where is that tested? I am guessing it's in index.tpl in the following line:

{if $_conf.nsTCLSkin1_index_blog == 'on' || $_conf.nsTCLSkin1_latest_images == 'on'}

How do I change this test to see if that's the issue I am running into?

The Latest Forum Posts is now updating properly. The only change I made was to change a quota config, allowing signups for the default quota (this was getting in the way of members changing their quota). Could that be it?

I see that.

The questions are "can you help me understand why this decision was made" and "can I make it happen on my site if I want to"?
