First off i love this component its the best component joomla community offers :) i have been able to do alot between this component and the aidanews module that works with this i think its called aida something like that. but anyway :)

i have had some problems with the rokbox and the component. mainly i want to be able to limit its search results.

i know with the default search
Code:
$where .= " AND catid IN(43,25)";
i was able to throw into the search plugin to only search them areas. and eveerything wwas working decent but then. all of a sudden i messed something up.

anyway i want to limit what is displayed in that search i just want to show one category from flexi.

i have a couple categories that are just extras that i pull into the one category with the aida module and keywords & tags. but when i enable the flexi search plugin its showing them categories as well. and thats not good. i need them to be excluded.


Basically heres the breakdown

flexi categories

- Artists
-Artist Headers
-Albums
-Album Latest


now all i need is to display the artists in the search. i want all the other sections not searchable

when the artist page is pulled
it grabs the artist header by tag throws it in a module position. and also grabs the albums from the albums category and displays them in a module position under discography. and lastest album is also called into a module position. all based on tags.

now i want to be able to search using rokbox and it show me just the artists from Artist category.

nothing more.

I have a link that is called artists. that link pulls the flexi category for the artists.

so results come out like
index.php/artists/item/211-bandname

i need them to be shown like that through the search engine.

so i search for the beatles. it shows me a link to the flexi category

Beatles( which links to below
index.php/artists/item/2091-beatles

now i had this working before and it wasnt showing the other categories at all. but now its showing everything.

I really need to know how to disable categories from being searchable.
