Thanks,

I've got exactly the same problem, would like to hear how to fix this.

here's a quick fix: on /models/search.php

line 36, you find this:

$this->setState('layout', 'detailed');

just replace it for

$this->setState('layout', 'grid');

that should to the trick...

sorry, it doesn't work, I just get a white page with the search engine...

What lines of code do I have to change to get genre view in grid mode?

Unfortunately, the client's requirement is that one search page has detailed view and one has grid view. So I really need it to work, as I've already signed off on this functionality.

Thanks,

the try this one:

$this->setState('layout', JRequest::getVar('layout', 'grid'));

nope, still not working... I get a blank page with very simple search engine, 2 selectboxes for "all formats" and "all genres" which are empty?!?

Should I change other models as well, like genre or artists?

Germi, is it the same detailed view that's used with the content plugin? If so, I think I will redesign the detailed view, so it looks good everywhere on the site.

Where can I find the code to design the detailed album view?

Though I would rather like to see the genre and search results in grid view

mmm no, unfortunately is not the same. that plugin is a bit old and needs to be re-written.

where is that you get a blank page? its strange... :S

As a quick test today I changed the line (your 1st suggestion) to:

$this->setState('layout', 'grid');

I get a white screen also with only a:

Search box followed by a two drop-down menus for 'all formats' and 'all genres' in the upper left corner. The rest of the page is blank.

Germi,

Is there no fix for this - does grid view just not work on search?

I get a whitescreen when modifying line approx. 35

Here is the line 35 area from your 2.0 upgrade distribution:

$default_layout = $params->get( 'albums_view' );

$layout = $mainframe->getUserStateFromRequest('layout','layout', $default_layout ,'layout');
$this->setState('layout', $layout);

$this->setState('layout', 'detailed');

$this->keywords = JRequest::getVar('searchword');
$this->format_id = JRequest::getVar('format_id');
$this->genre_id = JRequest::getVar('genre_id');
$this->artist_id = JRequest::getVar('artist_id');
$this->type_id = JRequest::getVar('type_id');
$this->tag_id = JRequest::getVar('tag_id');

If I modify $this->setState('layout', 'detailed'); to $this->setState('layout', 'grid');
I get a white screen
If I comment out this line I get a white screen
It looks like it is hardcoded to only permit detailed layout?

This is a serious problem for us as our launch is two weeks away and grid doesn't work.

Thanks,
John

hmm....its strange that you get a white page...

try to erase everything there's before $this->setState('layout', 'grid');

I mean, just get ride of this:

$default_layout = $params->get( 'albums_view' );

$layout = $mainframe->getUserStateFromRequest('layout','layout', $default_layout ,'layout');
$this->setState('layout', $layout);

No, that does not work either. The white screen still appears when set to grid view, and search still shows detailed view. I also think it's hard coded somewhere.

arggg..

try open /views/search/view.html.php, line 122:

$this->_layout = & $this->get( 'Layout');

change it for

$this->_layout = "grid";

still a white screen...

sorry Germi, but I give up, I'm already restyling the detailed view...

any solution to fix this grid view thing???????? :huh:
