Finding the pages where a node is referenced in a sub directory
Hi,
I am trying to run a search that finds all the pages, that has a link to a specific node. For example I want to find every page that contains a link to the home page. I also want to make the search specific to a certain directory, so in this case my directory is called sessions. Can anyone advise the best way of doing this. I have examine set up also but couldnt find a suitable solution.
Do you mean the link to the specific page is in a Rich Text Editor, or is it by way of a Content Picker or something like that?
If you're doing via a Content Picker then you can create an Event Handler to add extra indexed data to the Examine Index as the content node is being published.
In this way, you could for example create an indexed field that specifically contains the node name in addition to the node Id which would allow you to set up your search criteria as you want.
If you're trying to find content that creates links to a certain node in say a Rich Text field, then it's a little more complicated, but you may be able to find a way forward.
I don't have time right now to come up with some sample code, but there are plenty of examples around about custom indexing etc.
