Using Simple Search with Babel

[DESIGNfromWITHIN]

Hi, Babel works great, but I need to use Simple Search as well.
I use the following call:

[[!SimpleSearchForm? &landing=12]]

12 is the ID of my English search results page....
But now all searches from all languages go to the English page. How can I get a variable results page link depending on the current language?

That's definitely not a Babel issue ;)
You've got different solutions to achieve that (as usual with MODX)
1 - define a context setting with your landing page ID, &landing[[++yourCustomContextSetting]]
2 - if you only got 2 ctx, you could do &landing=[[++cultureKey:is=en:then=12:else=your other id]]
3 - you've got more than 2 ctx, then you might want to have a look at ifEval extra
4 - nothing comes to my mind but there certainely is more than 3 possibilities ;)

Ok, thanks for your comment.
I have 3 contexts and am looking at ifEval extra, but my PHP is not that great...
Also I have no clue on how exactly to use the [[++yourCustomContextSetting]]

For each of my languages the url gest a language selector added:
/en/
/nl/
/du/

Could you point me in the right direction?

This is probably not the place to reply (you'd better open a forum thread so it could help someone else/you get better responses). But to do quickly:

• with system setting (per context) :
  1/ edit your context
  2/ go to "context settings" tab & create a new setting (button "create new")
  3/ name it whatever you want (ex. key = SimpleSearchLanding) and give it the value of your landing page ID for that context (ex. value = 12)
  4/ do the same for your 2 other context (change the proper landing page id)
  5/ call you simple search with &landing=[[++SimpleSearchLanding]] (or whatever you set as key)
• with ifEval:
  call your simple search snippet with
  …
  &landing=[[!ifEval? &ccEn="[[++cultureKey]]" == "en" &rrEnTrue=12 &ccDe="[[++cultureKey]]" == "de" &rrDeTrue=ID of DE context landing page &ccFr="[[++cultureKey]]" == "fr" &rrFrTrue=*ID of FR context landing page ]]`
  …

If you use ifEval, please check its forum thread, as there is a slight bug in 0.9.
Hope this helps & good luck ;)

Edit: do not copy/paste from here, backticks seems to be eaten by MarkDown (i have to practice, sorry)

Thank you so mutch! Works great!
I'll create a post and might make a quick tutorial about i....

a generic solution to this was proposed in pull #44. Using cultureKey instead of contextKey.
