Displaying property labels or free text in search results

[Former Member]

Hi,

I just created my own search result layout set in a EP6 SP11 portal and extended it with some predefined properties. What is still messing are some more text infos as description for the attributes: I currently only get property values, but not additional info like property labels.

An example of what I need is the SDN search result with texts like "Updated On:" and "Author Name:".

How can I achive this?

Hi,

I created my own search result list in EP7 SP14 and I used the standard function "rnd:string(string=myLabel)" for creating descriptions for the attributes.

You can find all the functions under: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/79/a1d23e6b2c3d67e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

Hi,

SDN has used TREX API s for search results display and not a custom layout with custom collection renderers..

Check <a href="https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/5586">How to write a Search Application using the KM Indexmanagement API for TREX</a>

Hi Martin,

Currently, the standard Collection Renderer only render the content of a property, not the property label itself as you already observed.

In order to show also labels different approaches might be useful:

- use a second property which contains as content the text, e.g. namePropContent="Author Name: " and display both properties in the result list, e.g. ...namePropContent+name...

- write a customer specific Collection Renderer which renders both, the property label and content.

Kind regards,

Roland
