Verity and summary displaying variable names, not values

2006-05-24 Thread Ray Champagne
I am creating a very simple site search using Verity. When outputting the search results (using #summary#), the various variable names used in the text of the pages are getting output as their variable names, not as their values. Is there some trick I'm missing? -- ~~~ Ray Champagne ::

Did you index the pages as is? If so it makes sense. Verity will read in the file, not parse it like CF does. If you want Verity to parse the _result_ of the page you want to use the local spidering feature. On 5/24/06, Ray Champagne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am creating a very simple site

Do you mind expanding on that a little? I'm not sure what the local spidering feature is. This is my first foray into the Verity world Raymond Camden wrote: Did you index the pages as is? If so it makes sense. Verity will read in the file, not parse it like CF does. If you want Verity to

Verity can either index the source files, or it can index the browser-product version. Do you want to index the content of the cfm as it sits on disk, or do you want to index the content of the cfm as it appears to the browser? To index the source files (.htm, .pdf), use Verity the normal way.

Hrm...that sucks, looks like this won't work in a shared environment, eh? Or, I should say that it won't work unless I get my host to make the changes for me. Which we all know will never happen. I can't wait until we get our own server. 2 months and counting! Jim Wright wrote: On 5/24/06,

Crow, You should be able to fake it by building your own spider (just do a directory listing, turn the filename into a url, and pass the url to the indexer, one beautiful page at a time). Yes, I've done this (last summer) to index PDFs stored on Federal Court websites. On 5/24/06, Crow T. Robot

I just had a thought, to spoof a spidering the list of files from the directory or the file-based cfindex may not be what you need...you need the output from an actual spider, which would include all of your dynamic files.. (index.cfm?foo=1, index.cfm?foo=2..etc...) You could use a linkchecker

So, instead of passing the entire directory as the key, I'd pass each page as a URL? I could prolly do that, but I want to make sure that is what you mean before I tackle it. Jerry Johnson wrote: Crow, You should be able to fake it by building your own spider (just do a directory listing,

Well, in this particular case, there are no pages with query strings, luckily. Just plain ole .cfm pages. I think that Jerry's idea might just work as a patch until I get my new dedicated server up and running here. Jim Wright wrote: I just had a thought, to spoof a spidering the list of

OK, done that, or I should say this is running in the background right now. One thing I'm confused about though. In the following snippet of code, isn't the collection veritysearch just constantly reindexing itself? So, it would only reindex the last spidered page? cfdirectory action=list

Here is what happens when you don't look at the code first. Our system pulls down the pdf files into a local folder, then runs the index, but We cheat. We use a local Key key=g:\production\opinions\mi\coaunpub\20060523_C256194_50_256194O.ON.PDF and an external URL

I've since looked into Zoom. Pretty cool, does the job. It won't index it every x days/hours/whatever, but it's just a brochure site anyways. Content will change about once a year. http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/ No worries, thanks for the attempt. Jerry Johnson wrote: Here is what happens

We ship the Verity vspider executable with CFMX and you are licensed to use it on localhost URLs. We even document it. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/1781.htm If this doesn't cut it, you can buy a license from Verity explicitly for CF customers to expand vspider to
