Aliases causing duplicate search results

Permalink
Hello all,

I have what is hopefully a fairly simple problem. When I have an aliased page, both the original page and the alias are showing up in search results, causing a rather undesirable duplicate. I can't find any other mention of this in the forum, so I am assuming the problem is on my end. Anyone know what might have happened? Let me know if I haven't supplied enough info.

Thanks very much,
Isaac

I got around this by sort of filtering the output on an overridden view for the search block. I simply keep track of what page ids have been output using an array and check against this array before outputting a further search result.

I created the folder 'search' in the top level blocks folder, and into that copied view.php from /concrete/blocks/search/. (The normal way to override the output of a block).

I only added a few lines of code. The following replaces lines 23 to 40:

<?php  
$tt = Loader::helper('text');
if ($do_search) {
   if(count($results)==0){ ?>
      <h4 style="margin-top:32px"><?php echo t('There were no results found. Please try another keyword or phrase.')?></h4>   
   <?php  }else{ 
      $pageIDsListed = array();
      ?>
      <div id="searchResults">
      <?php  foreach($results as $r) { 
         $id = $r->getID(); // get the page id
         if (!in_array($id, $pageIDsListed)) {  // if the pageid hasn't already been shown
            $currentPageBody = $this->controller->highlightedExtendedMarkup($r->getBodyContent(), $query);?>
            <div class="searchResult">
               <h3><a href="<?php echo $r->getPath()?>"><?php echo $r->getName()?></a></h3>

Maybe that is useful to someone.

Thanks. You've just allowed me to have a good nights sleep.

re-arranged your code so it works with extended_search add-on just fine. :)
