Here is the structure of the built-in search forms:
/theme/view/omeka/site/item/search.phtml
/theme/view/omeka/site/item-set/search.phtml
If your theme doesn’t have these files, they can be copied out of /application/view/omeka/site/item and /theme/view/omeka/site/item-set.
Inside each search.phtml file, it references a “partial”:
/theme/view/common/advanced-search
This actually refers not to a directory but the /theme/view/common/advanced-search.phtml file.
By default, the search files are exactly the same between items and item sets.
To customize the item set search, you can create a separate /item-set/search.phtml file in your theme, and then point it to a copy of /common/advanced-search.phtml, for example, /common/itemset-search.phtml.
Inside the common partial file (e.g. advanced-search.phtml), it references another partial:
/common/advanced-search/resource-class
or
/common/advanced-search/properties
These again refer to .phtml files, e.g. /common/advanced-search/properties.phtml.
If your theme doesn’t have these files, it can be copied from /application/view/common/advanced-search (the directory).
To customize an item set search form, you can create a copy, e.g. /common/advanced-search/itemset-properties.phtml.
This is as far as I’ve gotten. I’m now trying to customize which properties are displayed in the drop-down in the item set advanced search, and can’t figure that out.
I see a $properties array, but when I run a print_r, it appears empty.
I see a $properties loop - foreach ($properties as $property) - but again right before this line, if I output the $properties array, it’s empty.
I see that inside the loop, the $property variable itself is also an array.
Where is the code that is populating the $property and $properties array? Or, how do I manually construct this array to point to specified properties? I know how to use Resource Templates to limit which properties are displayed - but this is shared between both items and item sets, there doesn’t seem to be a way in the UI to differentiate.
