    A few minor issues with v1.0

    What a great starter package, thanks for sharing!!

    I did find a few minor issues you might address in the next version:

    • Search page defaults to 'Standard' template rather than 'Search' template
    • XSLTsearch 3.0 is bundled but the /app_code/xsltsearch.cs file is missing
    • The search macro should use the docType property aliases, probably something like:
    • searchFields="title,@nodeName,keywords,description,mainContent,panelContent1,panelContent2,panelContent3"
      previewFields="panelContent3,panelContent2,panelContent1,mainContent,description"
    • The RTE has a property alias name of 'mainContent' on pages that don't display, such as a 'slide' document type. They have no template but the search may find text there and make a link to it. Either change the property name to something not searched by XSLTsearch or add a template that redirects to an appropriate page when a slide page is clicked on
    • For convention, I would recommend renaming 'mainContent' to 'bodyText', the defacto standard in Umbraco

    cheers, and thanks again for such a nice starter kit!

    Hi Doug,

    Thanks for the feedback and for trying out the package. I've released version 1.1 with the following fixes

    - The search page now points to the correct template
    -  xsltsearch.cs is now included
    - The search macro fields have been updated as recommended
    - mainContent has been changed to bodyText to maintain the conventions

    With regards to the 'Slide' doc types, I would usually edit XSLTSearch to exclude certain doc types. However for this package I'm going to rely on people using umbracoNaviHide.

    Thanks again,

    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    I intent to use your standard site in my personal sites, but still could not make it work the way I intent.

    I will explain it to you and I strongly believe that it could improve your product a lot.

    I intent to have 2 personal sites in the same instance/database.

    So, I would like to copy the entire structure of the standard site, and setting a specific url for each one (so I can have a slide show, for eg, for each one).

    I expected to have 2 independent sites running, but what I got was some issues regarding the slide show and the main menu.

    Both slide show and main menu seems to consider only what was defined in the first site created with the package, and not a stand alone as I expected.

    I don't know if I've made myself clear enough, but if you follow the steps mentioned, you can reproduce what I'm trying to explain.

    Wait anxiously for your answer.

    Best regards,

    Rapha
