Search Box for Blog

Fides Gastanes Lynn

Hi, how do I create a search box for blog topics? I understand that there's a search box component available in Appdrag but it's only for the shop.

Please advice.

Thank you!

Hello,

For some reason I can't drop a search box right now, but it's indeed linked to the shop.

Entirely from my memory :
If you double clic on it you should see the code doing the research and printing the elements.

I'm not sure you'll get away from this one without coding :/, let's wait the AppDrag answer in case of, since I'm just a user ^^

Best regards,

Indeed we don't have yet a search component for blog but if you can code few lines of JS you can directly call our Blog API described here: https://support.appdrag.site/blog/80-REST-API-for-Blog-and-Shop.html

and use a component like SELECT2 to do an ajax search and display the results:

PS: it's on our roadmap for later this year to have a search bar component for blog out of the box

Hi @Joseph-Benguira, thanks for the info.

Any progress on the plans to add this? I'm looking for it

@Pierre-SULPICE did you end up coding it? Do you feel like sharing?
