When we click on a word link in a cloud, a search page is displayed.
I would like to have a search page with the same module displayed that the previous one with the cloud.

To do that the only way I found is to have in the final search url the same parameter "Itemid" than the original one in the page with the cloud.

I've try to patch the cloud module and component to do that but with no success.

Anyone having a solution for that ?

Hi!

Here is a patch that adds "Set Itemid" option.

It's not exactly what I want.

The parameter is now ok in the generated cloud (I had also succeded with that point, adding not a fixed ItemId but the ItemId of the original page).

What is not working is that this ItemId is not propagated to the search page.

I try to give an example:

URL of the original page where the cloud is generated:

localhost/index.php?option=com_content&a...t=blog&id=8&Itemid=11

One link in the cloud:

localhost/index.php?option=com_rafcloud&...any&sid=847&Itemid=11

URL of the resulting search page when clicking on the link:

localhost/index.php?searchword=mail&...mp;option=com_search

I want that URL to be:

localhost/index.php?searchword=mail&...tion=com_search&Itemid=11

I've merge my original patch that takes the Itemid in the originating page
with yours.

The two options are possible, but if you fix the Itemid the other is without effect.

I've also made a patch for the search component (file controller.php to replace existing one in /components/com_search/).
This patch is also needed if you choose option "Internal link" for the module parameter "SEF Urls"
