Custom inbound pipe doesn't work

Posted by Community Admin on 14-Jan-2014 00:00

Hi, I am trying to delimit my search by their parent and child pages. This used to be in 3.7 but it's gone in the new versions. Currently i am on 6.1 , 6.2
for example this is my tree:

About-us(group page)
About
All News
Graduation
Research
Staff (Group Page)
Faculty
IT
Professors
Awards

I want to be somewhere in the About section, and if i want to search something inside the about section i want to show up. However if i want to search something outside of my group page i don't want any results.

I tried a few different methods of doing this based on other people's posts. However i have had no luck. If there something wrong with my Code?

Custom inbound pipe:

public class Search_Delimiter_Test : PageInboundPipe

public override void PushData(IList<Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.PublishingSystemEventInfo> items)

List<Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.PublishingSystemEventInfo> myItems = new List<Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.PublishingSystemEventInfo>();

foreach (var item in items)

PageNode node = null;

if (item.Item is WrapperObject && ((WrapperObject)item.Item).WrappedObject != null)

node = (PageNode)((WrapperObject)item.Item).WrappedObject;

else

node = ((PageNode)item.Item);

if (node.Page != null && node.Page.Status == Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live)

while (true)

node = node.Parent;

if (node.Title.Equals("about" ,StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))

//this will index only one page node with its children, don`t add items here for the pages that shouldn`t be indexed

myItems.Add(item);

break;

if (node.Parent == null)

break;

base.PushData(myItems);

and here is my Global. Asax

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)

Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions.Bootstrapper.Initialized -= new EventHandler<Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs>(Bootstrapper_Initialized);

Telerik.Sitefinity.Abstractions.Bootstrapper.Initialized += new EventHandler<Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs>(Bootstrapper_Initialized);

void Bootstrapper_Initialized(object sender, Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs e)

if (e.CommandName == "Bootstrapped")

this.RegisterProductPipes();

private void RegisterProductPipes()

//unregister default pipe

Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.PublishingSystemFactory.UnregisterPipe(Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.Pipes.PageInboundPipe.PipeName);

// unregister default pipe.

//register pipes

Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.PublishingSystemFactory.RegisterPipe(SitefinityWebApp.Search_Delimiter_Test.PipeName, typeof(SitefinityWebApp.Search_Delimiter_Test));

var pipeSettings1 = Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.PublishingSystemFactory.GetPipeSettings(SitefinityWebApp.Search_Delimiter_Test.PipeName);

Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.PublishingSystemFactory.RegisterTemplatePipe("SearchItemTemplate", pipeSettings1);

//create and register mapping

List<Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.Model.Mapping> mappingsList = new System.Collections.Generic.List<Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.Model.Mapping>();

var contentMapping = new Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.Model.Mapping() DestinationPropertyName = "Content", IsRequired = true, SourcePropertyNames = new[] "Title" ;

mappingsList.Add(contentMapping);

var linkMapping = new Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.Model.Mapping() DestinationPropertyName = "Link", IsRequired = true, SourcePropertyNames = new[] "Link" ;

linkMapping.Translations.Add(new

Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.Model.PipeMappingTranslation()  TranslatorName = Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.Translators.UrlShortenerTranslator.TranslatorName  );

mappingsList.Add(linkMapping);

Telerik.Sitefinity.Publishing.PublishingSystemFactory.RegisterPipeMappings(SitefinityWebApp.Search_Delimiter_Test.PipeName,

true, mappingsList);

// end registerProductPipes

Hello,

What exactly is the issue that you are experiencing?

I have tried your code and it seems to do exactly what you have described. All text from pages under About is found and text from under Staff cannot be found.

really? When i test it it is finding everything from the whole site. Other than these 2 files is there something i am missing to make it function on my machine?

Hi Daniel,

I have created a new search index with scope "Static HTML from pages" and using it the search yielded the expected results using just the code you posted below.

It is possible your scope is set to browse all the content and by doing this it won't know that some content is not for the "About" section.

It's still not working, I double checked every site is using the same search index, and yes, it is set to "static html". When i go into the about section i can search whatever, and it will throw results from all over the site.

is there a checkbox i could have had missed? or another program i failed to write or edit, or even a config file or something?

could it be my node? What am i supposed to put into node.Title would that be the page/grouppage name that is listed in the pages screen?

Hi,

Go to "~/App_Data/Sitefinity/Search" and delete all files in there. After that reindex the site.

If this doesn't help try to comment out everything inside PushData of your custom pipe and see if anything can be searched. If you can still search everywhere in the site then we know that the pipe is not used at all.

so i deleted everything from the search folder, and then i reindexed, and the search still returned everything.
I commented out everything inside the pushdata method, so it's completely empty. I reindexed again. and did a search.
And again it returned everything.

Could is possibly be because of migration?
I am taking over for an employee who was working on migration assignment before, and she moved from 3.7 to 6.2 could my global asax file be different than what it is supposed to be on 6.2? This is my Global asax file in completion.

Hello Daniel,

I don't see anything wrong in the Global.asax. Would you please open a support ticket with a link to this forum thread? It will be easier to debug this way.
