Hello Karma8

Component and module seem to work perfectly when i test them on my localhost but when i upload my website to the server they don't work anymore. Once uploaded appears only the content window but no logo and options. The website is www.e-chinasourcing.com use FireFox I have some issues with IE.

I hope you know something about it,

See you

Hi,

If I guessed correctly, what you've done is that you tested everything ok on your localhost. Then you ftp all the files over to your server.

What you should have done is to do the actual installation of googleSearch on your server too. This is because the googleSearch config file is stored in the joomla mysql db. When you just do the ftp, only the files get transferred over. The googleSearch config file is not copied over to the mysql db on your server.

As googleSearch cannot find the config file on your server, there's no logo or options displayed, and no search result too.

Just install googleSearch component/module on your server, and your problem should be solved.

Hi kksou

I tested my website on my localhost and everything worked properly. After I ftp all my website's files to the server and the problem started. The googleSearch component and module are present as well as the table "jos_googlesearch_conf" inside the database. In anyway are displayed two warnings: "No index defined!" and "Overhead" is reported in red with "28 B", maybe this is the problem. The file config file has been configured with user and password in order to have access to the database. When you refer to the googleresearch config file I think is the one mentioned above. If I have to set something here let me know or if there is a googlesearch config file where i find it? Sorry for not being so professional and thanks again for your help.

See you,

Massimo

Bonjour,

This is exactly the same issue I am having, using the latest GoogleSearch version: com_googleSearch_v1.5.15.zip

I have verified that the correct table is present in the remote database and that the data is the same as the local version; all is correct, yet as the original poster mentions, the remote version has no logo or button in the module and if one does attempt a search, the results page is blank. Additionally, if I go to the backend and the GoogeSearch component setup, all the fields there are empty, with the exception of the default language, which is now set to Arabic. Strange. Yes, I can get it to function if I uninstall and re-install, but the thing is, I am doing this on 14 "clone" sites, where only some of the content is changed; a real pain to do the reinstall and enter all the parameters again. It is as though there may be a permissions thing going on preventing the component from reading the database table. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated :)

Cheers!

Hi Lyle,

You have a live site (or test site) that I can take a look and do a view source?

Alternatively, are you ok with PHP? You have the source code. If you take a look at it, it's a very straightforward piece of code. You display a search form, and then you plugin the piece of javscript code provided by google.

If you find backend db is the problem (though I find it strange), you can hardcode them direct in the code.

I have to come out with a config page because not all people are familiar with PHP. If you're ok with PHP, just hardcode them direct in the code for your own site.
