Avoid the Asset list when search only find a single asset ?

Hi,

The way the hub works is great when you have multiple assets.
However, if you have only one asset, but are going to have more in a few weeks, it would be nice to directly show the rooms when you make a search.
The same can happen if your search criterias narrow the result to a single asset...

So, I'm looking for a way to bypass it.

Thanks,
Pierre

Hi,

To search for specific asset, you can enable option "Search by name" in your Advanced Search module.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

However, even if I search by name, the advancedsearch module will still bring me to a view with a single asset (see Attachment step 1).

This is pretty useless, as the filters on the left side are unable to narrow the list of a single asset !

Moreover, this pattern requires an unneeded click on the asset link to show the rooms that, I believe, should appear immediately after the search in case of a single asset (see Attachment step 2).

Do you have a workaround or a direction to modify the code to implement this?

Best regards,
Pierre

Quick and Dirty solution.

Edit searchresultslistview.php line 52 (just after $deepLink = JRoute::_($deepLink)

Add 2 lines

if (count($displayData) == 1)
JFactory::getApplication()->redirect($deepLink);

Could be conditionned to a flag in configuration ("Skip the Asset page if single in result view ?")
