Hi Felix,
Thank you for your inputs. My part of my action currently looks like
this:
public function executeRead(AgaviWebRequestDataHolder $rd)
{
if($rd->getParameter('q')==null) return 'Input';
$searchService =
$this->context->getModel('SearchService','Search')-
>connect();
$ids = $searchService->findByName($rd->getParameter('q'),0,100);
$this->setAttribute('id',$ids);
return 'Success';
}
In this case, I cannot make the action simple. If q is not null, I
would like to validate. My goal is to create a search page which by
default just has a text box and submit. Once submitted, the textbox
and submit appears on the top of the results. I think this is similar
to google.com. I am concerned above the overhead of slotting the same
action within itself in order to get another view.
Is there a way that I can embed the content of the input view without
having to slot the complete action?
Peace,
Shoan.
