Upload Search Template
-
Custom search UI templates can be uploaded using zip format. If we need to do any configuration changes, please unzip the custom UI file and make required changes in facet.js folder file and re-zip the folder using same plugin name to upload.
-
Once the succesful UI upload, a Custom UI URL link will be generated and it can be accessed using the plugin name given. As shown in the screenshot reference below, generated custom UI link will expire once after page refresh. So we recommend you to save the link for future use.
-
If you want to upload multiple custom UI templates, the Custom search UI template name should be unique. If the same folder name is used to re-upload custom UI, it will overwrite the existing custom UI files.
-
You can find the uploaded custom UI folder under the path
<SearchBlox-Installation-Folder>/webapps/ROOT/plugins
Note:
Please be mindful of giving the custom UI name as custom UI name is case sensitive. Eg: Test.zip and test.zip file names will be considered as two different custom UIs.
