I have purchased the search plugin for multisite in Joomla 2.5.8. Do you have instructions for this version? I tried the instructions for Joomla 1.6 but is doesn't search in other sites. I use the Joomla Smart Search.

Thanks in advance.

The smart search is not the search.
The smart search is called by joomla a "finder" and not the "search".

The "Multisites Search" plugin works with the "search" (search module) and not with the "finder" (smart search).

I notice the requirement to have a "Multisites finder" (Multisites smart search)

Thanks for the reply.

I removed the smart search module and I added the search module.

But unfortunately it still not working.

I notice that in search multisite content plugin when I select the sites from the list my selections are not staying after reopen the plugin.

I discovered the problem. As I said to the previous post the multisite search plugin form didn't keep my selections in sites field.

Looking at the source code of the form the name field was wrong, it should be name="jform[params][sites_id][]"

<select id="jformparamssite_ids" name="jform[params][]&quot; class="inputbox" multiple="multiple" size="5" aria-invalid="false">
<option value=":master_db:" selected="selected">&lt; Master Site &gt;</option>
<option value="mainPortal" selected="selected">Test | mainPortal</option>
</select>

After manualy (and temporary) changed the name of the select field the problem was fixed.

Of course this is not the solution, is there any other way that can we do to permanently fixed the problem? This plugin is very important for our organization and the whole idea of the site will not work if we don't have it.
