Jump to bottom

This recipe is for adding a the blog name and link to each result appearing in search results. This is useful if the search is performed against multiple blogs.

Two templates to update:

  1. Search Results system template
  2. Entry Summary template module

1. Search Results system template

Look for this: 

  <$MTInclude module="Entry Summary" hide_counts="1" blog_id="$blog_id"$>

Replace with this (adding show_blog attribute): 

  <$MTInclude module="Entry Summary" show_blog="1" hide_counts="1" blog_id="$blog_id"$>

2. Entry Summary template module

Look for this: 

  <span class="byline">
  <MTIfNonEmpty tag="EntryAuthorDisplayName">
    By <span class="vcard author"><$MTEntryAuthorLink show_hcard="1"$></span> on <abbr class="published" title="<$MTEntryDate format_name="iso8601"$>"><$MTEntryDate format="%x %X"$></abbr>
  <MTElse>
    <abbr class="published" title="<$MTEntryDate format_name="iso8601"$>"><$MTEntryDate format="%x %X"$></abbr>
  </mtifnonempty>
  </span>

Replace with this (adding conditional if show_blog is true): 

  <span class="byline">
  <MTIf name="show_blog">
      <MTIfNonEmpty tag="EntryAuthorDisplayName">
      From <$MTEntryBlogName$> by &lt;span class="vcard author"><$MTEntryAuthorLink show_hcard="1"$></span> on <abbr class="published" title="<$MTEntryDate format_name="iso8601"$>"><$MTEntryDate format="%x %X"$></abbr>
      <MTElse>
      From <$MTEntryBlogName$> on <abbr class="published" title="<$MTEntryDate format_name="iso8601"$>"><$MTEntryDate format="%x %X"$></abbr>
      </mtifnonempty>
  <MTElse>
      <MTIfNonEmpty tag="EntryAuthorDisplayName">
      By <span class="vcard author"><$MTEntryAuthorLink show_hcard="1"$></span> on <abbr class="published" title="<$MTEntryDate format_name="iso8601"$>"><$MTEntryDate format="%x %X"$></abbr>
      <MTElse>
      <abbr class="published" title="<$MTEntryDate format_name="iso8601"$>"><$MTEntryDate format="%x %X"$></abbr>
      </mtifnonempty>
  </mtif>
  </span>
