01240: add a newwin param to the searchbox markup

Description: To add a 'newwin=target' param to the searchbox syntax to change the html target of the generated search results. For example, in a new window (target="_blank").

How to:

Modify the SearchBox function in pagelist.php.

Change:

 $out = FmtPageName(" class='wikisearch' action='\$PageUrl' method='post'>", $target);

and

 if ($k == 'q' || $k == 'label' || $k == 'value' || $k == 'size' ) continue;

For:

 $bb=$opt['newwin'];
  if ($bb!="") $out = FmtPageName(" class='wikisearch' action='\$PageUrl' method='get' target='$bb'>", $target);
  else $out = FmtPageName(" class='wikisearch' action='\$PageUrl' method='post'>", $target);

and

 if ($k == 'q' || $k == 'label' || $k == 'value' || $k == 'size' || $k == 'newwwin' ) continue;

Hello. Because no one ever asked to be able to chose the window target for the search form, I feel that this feature is not required by most PmWiki users. Until it is, without modifying core files, you can either redefine the (:searchbox:) markup to use your own modified function, or create a custom search form with the elements supported by PmWiki.Forms. We could add a Cookbook recipe for this feature. --Petko January 06, 2011, at 08:48 AM
