[Search Result] Change the default URL generation

[thiagarajanm]

How to change the default URL which is generated in the search result?
I have /category/blog-post. I have the blog category in the url as a dynamic field.

The search result brings up /default or /post.

Could you help me with the change to get the category in the url?

Blog post in what plugin?

You can read here how to generate a page url if it is a custom plugin:

Its not a custom plugin. Its the rainlab.blog and rainlab.pages plugins.

Did you set the correct rainlab_blog_page in SiteSearch's backend settings?

It should generate the link here:

oc-site-search-plugin/classes/providers/RainlabBlogResultsProvider.php

Line 76 in 33b47d2

$result->url = $post->setUrl(Settings::get('rainlab_blog_page', ''), $this->controller);

by calling RainLab's setUrl method:
https://github.com/rainlab/blog-plugin/blob/master/models/Post.php#L157

That should help you debug the issue.

@tobias-kuendig yes the backend settings are set correctly. But this only generated the default url set by october not the actual url used in the blog post page.

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you post the page header of the cms page that hosts the blog component?

What URL is generated and what URL do you expect?
