how do you add the search field to the TemplateView.ascx template. I'm customizing a new template but just realize there is no search field in the default template. Thanks for the help. Tim

Hi Tim, Can you describe what you mean by "Search Field"? I'm sorry for not completely following your question. Note TemplateView is really designed for fast flexible DMX output. Certain things that are possible in the Ajax view are not possible in the Template View. Peter

I do not know if you continued this conversation offline, but I have the same need. I have three custom attributes that need to be searchable (Part Number, Part Type and Operation Type). We are looking to manage over 200,000 files classified by those attributes. The whole list would never be useful to any user, simply the search results. I have read through the template customization document and it seems straight forward enough but I need a way to filter the list by these attributes. Thanks.

The templated view was not designed as a search results page. In cases like this you'd need a custom search module/control that hooks into the DMX dataset. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
