Hi PaingThu Chit,
For your first question look under Collection-specific formatting
options on this page
http://greenstone.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/How_to_format_the_output_of_your_collection
There is a DocumentText formatstring, that you can modify to display
your desired metadata when a person clicks on a link.
You might add metadata to it like [title] or [location] in some html
structure, with whichever metadata names you have. (this is assuming
you actually have [title] and [location] metadata, of course the names
of your metadata items might be different.
If you meant that you want the links to open a new window, or tab in a
users browser, you would need to modify the relevant format statement
for the vertical list that is being displayed.
In this case, the vertical list in question might be Vlist (the default
format statement for all vertical lists in a collection) or CL1VList
(the more specific Vlist for first classifier defined in your
collections collect.cfg file) or SearchVList. You would alter this
either in the GLI or directly in your collect.cfg file.
You could add an <a> tag to the format statement, something like
<a href="[href]" target="_blank">[title]</a> to ask the
browser to open a new window when the user clicks on the links. Notice
that this link makes use of various formatstring items on the wiki page
mentioned above. Note also you can display any item of metadata for the
current document being displayed in a vertical list format statement by
adding [metadata_name]. Obviously you replace the text "metadata_name"
with the name of the metadata item you want to display.
(See
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp
for more options for the html a tag's target attribute.)
To answer your search form question I did the following search using
google.
site:
greenstone.sourceforge.net
"search form" normal advanced
It revealed the following text:
Using fielded searching
- Collections built with MGPP (the default indexer) provide
the option of fielded searching. In the browser, go to the PREFERENCES
page. You will notice that there is a Query style: option which
enables you to switch between "normal" and "fielded" search. Change to
fielded search now and click on the Search button. The search
form has changed to a fielded form.
- You can specify which search form types are available for
a particular collection, and which one is the default, using the SearchTypes
format statement. In the Format panel select Format Features
from the left-hand list. Select the SearchTypes format
statement from the list of assigned formats, and set the contents to form.
This will make only fielded searching available for this collection.
Search type options include form and plain.
You can specify one or both separated by a comma. If both are
specified, the first one is used as the default: this is the one that
the user will see when they first enter the collection.
Preview the collection again. Notice that the
collection's home page no longer includes a query box. (This is because
the search form is too big to fit here nicely.) To search, you have to
click
Search in the navigation bar. Note that the
PREFERENCES
page has changed so that the "normal" query style is no longer offered.

This may not be exactly what you needed, but hopefully it helps.

Hello Richard,
thanks alot for ur help.
I think I have to explain some more. I m doing the
collection on tourism information.
when we do searching, we got a list of items that match
input criteria. And then when we click on
the link, it will show the doc related to that link. For
me, my collection have only images with metadata
set which stored all the necessary information. So when
user click on the link, I want to open new page
and show the formated metadata. I think its like
shopping cart search result and detail page. I dun have docs to display
so I want to open new page and display the metadata information.
I have one more question. Some collections have 2 search
forms. normal and advance. would u pls
guide me how to do that?
with best regards,
Paing

Hi PaingThu Chit,
You can use fielded searching for this. Add something like the
following to your collect.cfg file:
buildtype mgpp
If you already have the "buildtype mg" line, you need to change it to
"buildtype mgpp" or "buildtype lucene" to support fielded searching
indexes allfields text title description location
For mgpp, you need to specify the fields you want to search on.
levels section document
You need to specify the granularity of the created indexes.
searchtype form plain
This tells greenstone to display the fielded searching form by default
on the search page.
That should cover questions 1 and 2. As for question 3, I'm not sure
what you mean.
Hope this helps,
Richard.

1. I want to do the searching by 2 criteria .. like
results must be like this and and must not be like that.
2. how am i support to change the condition type
like OR, AND or NOT OR in my search page.
3. in my search page I show some general info such

I want to open new pages with the detail metadata
