Hello again!

I want to make a (simple) searchform, and the template for this is:

{set-block scope=root variable=cache_ttl}0{/set-block}
<div id="mediaSok">
	<div id="tittel"><h2>Mediasøk<img src={"mappeIkon.gif"|ezimage}></h2></div>
	<form action={"/content/advancedsearch/"|ezurl} method="get">
		<input class="inputText" type="text" name="AnyWordSearchText" value="" />
		<select size="1" class="inputSelect" name="SearchContentClassID">
			<option value="-1" selected>Alle medium</option>
			<option value="77">Bilder</option>
			<option value="84">Dokumenter</option>
			<option value="95">Media</option>
		</select>
		<input class="inputSubmit" name="SearchButton" type="submit" value="" />
	</form>
</form>
</div>

When executed, I get a rather ugly error:
<i>Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/mediabase/domains/mediabase.no/public_html/kernel/content/advancedsearch.php on line 129</i>

What is wrong here?

Relevant code in advancedsearch.php:

if ( $http->hasVariable( 'SearchContentClassID' ) and
     $http->variable( 'SearchContentClassID' ) != -1 )
{
    $searchContentClassID = $http->variable( 'SearchContentClassID' );
    $searchContentClass =& eZContentClass::fetch( $searchContentClassID );
    $searchContentClassAttributeArray =& $searchContentClass->fetchSearchableAttributes();
}

I think one of the option values in your template is not a valid content class ID, and eZContentClass::fetch( ) returns false. $searchContentClass is not an object, and you'll get the error.

How can I proceed here?

Check the class ID's of Bilder, Dokumenter and Media.

You can also make the options more dynamic with the following code, if you can assume the class identifiers won't change:

{def $classes=fetch( 'class', 'list', hash( 'class_filter', array( 'bilder', 'dokumenter', 'media' ) ) )}
 
{foreach $classes as $class}
    <option value="{$class.id}">{$class.name|wash}</option>
{/foreach}

{undef $classes}
