Hello,
on the search results page I would like to display a title.
Say, I do a genre search for 'rock', above the albums that appear here should be 'rock'. When searching for tags there should be the tag. (similar to the album name on album details)

I use the search function allover my site, it makes perfect sense having such headlines on the result page.
possible to achieve?

    I was just asking..
    and I believe it's possible since all data are known. I'm stuck with trying to echo them out.
    No hint? Pretty please...Germinal, am I asking for too much?

    Hello!

    sorry for the late answer.

    this will require a bit of coding on the search result layout page. plus.. what happens if you search for both "rock" and also a tag? what title should display?

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    I don't mind the coding, already altered this component a bit.

    I think it should display:
    - if no results = 'nothing found' (I have done that already)
    - if genre+tag = 'rock' 'melodic'

    the modification has to go on the file /components/com_muscol/views/search/tmpl/common.php

    basically what I would do is to use the JRequest::getVar() method to see if there's a genre or a tag, then you look up the genre name on the DB, and print it in that page.

    Thanks for pointing me into the right direction!
    So far I'm just retrieving the id's, how to turn it into names?
    I'm afraid i miss out something important.
    $this->tag_name = JRequest::getVar('tag_id');
    
echo $this->tag_name;

    that's the second part I pointed out, I said you need to look up in the Database the tag name and such, because using JRequest you will only get the ID..
