04. Changing the search results

Changing way in which an object is displayed in the search results is similar to the process of changing the object display. This template will change how people are displayed in the Mint search results. To make life a little easier, use the Parties-People view so that you're only seeing people records.

• 1. Open portal/default/local/display/parties_people

  2. Create a new file named result.vm

  3. Open result.vm in a text editor

Copy the following text into result.vm:

#set($id = $self.getFirst("id"))

#set($title = $self.getEscapeHtml($self.getFirst("dc_title")))

#set($email = $self.getEscapeHtml($self.getFirst("Email")))

#set($description = $self.getFirst("dc_description"))

#set($format = $self.get("dc_format"))

<div class="$itemClass" id="$id">

<h3>

<a href="$portalPath/detail/$id/">#if($title.trim() == "")<em>Untitled</em>#{else}$title#end</a>

</h3>

<p class="item-description condense" rel="$!displayType"><b>email</b>: $!email&nbsp;</p>

<p class="item-description condense" rel="$!displayType">$!description&nbsp;</p>

<div class="clear"></div>

</div>

Now restart Mint and do a search in the Parties-People view.
