This is a beta feature under active development. All search listings are currently built by the SDP team. |
Background of search listings
Before Ripple 2, we had custom-built dynamic listing pages for specific use cases, such as our grants listing and honour rolls. Each one was built by a developer and any change required a production deployment.
For the Ripple 2 rollout, we created the search listing content type, which can be configured, edited and published by Site administrators.
Standard search listings can be built using existing attributes (vocabularies) in the CMS taxonomy , such as content type, site section and taxonomies (e.g. a news listing, a grants listing, an events listing, a search listing of all publications in on a site sectiontopic).
To use other attributes (non-existing/new) attributes/vocabulariesvocabularies), additional custom work is required.
Who can create them
Currently the Search listing content type/template is only available to Site admins and Admins so search . Search listings for sites using the content.vic.gov.au CMS must be built by the SDP content team - even very simple ones such as News listings.
CMS editors and approvers can use the Content collection component in the Landing page content type for similar functionality. However, the content collection will only display the top 9 results; there is no pagination (TBC).
...
9 results and has basic (out of the box) search configuration.
We are working on improvements to the editing experience so we can allow advanced users access to this content type in the future.
What’s on search listing pages
Search listing pages have three main sections: keyword search, filters and results.
Keyword search
A text input to search the collection by keyword.
...
Filters
Configurable options for the user to filter search results. These are attributes (e.g. taxonomies) attached to content types, such as Landing page, News, etc.
...
Results
We currently support the following search result display options:
List
Grid (card)
Table

Maps
Maps are also a type of search listing. Read more about interactive map options for SDP, including how to request one.
