Adding “Search” To Main Link Tabs

Changes to file under

/app/omb/plugins/
  1. wp.php
  2. security.php

In wp.php:

Adding

$links['Search'] = $request->url_for('search');

between ‘Personal’ and ‘Profile’ would bring out the ‘Search’ tab in main link-tabs.

In security.php

Adding

function security_init() {
...
$request->connect( 'search' );
...

would give the URI link if tab is clicked or hovered, that is: http://base_url/?search.

Adding the search function would make the URI seek for the correlated viewing page

function search( $vars ) {
extract( $vars );
$_SESSION['requested_url'] = $request->base;
}

I create a viewing page then, under /app/omb/view/ by the name _search.html.

However, the main theme won’t appear correctly. So, what I do is: add a controller in /app/omb/controller/ with the name search_posts.php (an empty one for a start) and its view with the name _search_posts.html (inside /app/omb/view/). And then, add rendering to our previous search-function as in

function search( $vars ) {
extract( $vars );
$_SESSION['requested_url'] = $request->base;
render( 'action', '<strong>search_posts</strong>' );
}

As I’ll be incorporating databases issue later. The following search is adequate to show relevant results, plain with no links etc. It is the content of the current _search_posts.html.
