Display Search Results in Joomla Menu Item was created by millermultimedia
Hello, I am using Custom Properties 3, Build 15 on a Joomla 3.1.5 website.

I have created my properties and assigned them to the articles. I have then created a search page which is a Joomla article with the search module assigned to the right column. The article search is working properly although the results come up using a URL like: www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_cust...perties&view=search& ... (I have SEF URLs enabled)

I need to be able to include the search module on the results page which requires having the search results appear on a page created in the menu system. I have tried setting up a Custom Properties menu item but it is ignored by the search results. Is there a way to use a menu item ID for the default Custom Properties search results page? I am thinking of something along the way that the Joomla search results page is defined?

One other side note, when I created the Custom Properties menu item, for the option: "Show content element label" it shows "not installed". As I used the package installer, I am wondering what is not installed?

Thanks!

I should have read the forum for Joomla 2.5 before posting my question. The answer was there. I was close, set up a Custom Properties menu item, note it's menu item ID then edit the search module and under the options tab add the menu item ID in the "itemID" field. Worked like a charm.
