THESE PAGES ARE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND DO NOT NECESSARELY REFLECT THE CURRENT VERSION OF TÓPICO

While your collection master and individual source files are upgraded to the latest version of Tópico when the program opens an older collection, the templates, scripts and stylesheets associated with your collection cannot be upgraded that easily.

This means that you'll have to update these files (your custom publishing package) manually to include new features found in more recent versions of Tópico.

Tip

Each significant release of Tópico will include information on the steps you might want to take to upgrade your existing collections.

Adding the search engine to an existing (static) collection

To add a basic search engine to an existing static collection, follow these steps.

    1. xml/include_form_search.xhtml
    2. online/scripts/topico_search.js
  2. On a search page you have created in your existing collection, include the include_form_search.xhtml
  3. Publish your collection

You should now see a search form in the published collection.

Optionally, you can add the following code to the insert.xml file b right clicking on the Insert button and selecting Edit insert file.

XML
  1. <!-- search form -->
  2. <tag>
  3. <name>
  4. <en>Include Search Form</en>
  5. <fr>Inclure formulaire de recherche</fr>
  6. </name>
  7. <elt>include</elt>
