This is a first approach. I'm having some issues that I don't know how to fix them:

1. I need to include some JS files in "body_end" from the template rendering. To do this, I added a new block in my custom base.tmpl:

[...]
    ${template_hooks['body_end']()}
    <%block name="extra_body_end">
    ### Leave this block alone.
    </%block>
</body>
[...]

1. I'm not being able to render the search.tmpl that inherits from base.tmpl in the same way that it was rendered before. I'm not sure about the context I need to pass to it. I was trying this, but it didn't work:

context = copy(self.site.GLOBAL_CONTEXT)
            context.update({
                'lang': LocaleBorg().current_lang,
                'title': 'Search',
                'permalink': '/search.html',
            })

Doing this in this way, doesn't need nothing from the final user after installing the plugin and also it will look much better than a simple input in the navbar that breaks all the style of the page (even when it shows the results).

Does it make sense for you guys?

How does this break layout? http://ralsina.me/tr/es/weblog/index.html (search for london)

A more serious bug in the old version is that it only works with one language. In my site there's only data for the english versions of posts.

Last comment for a while: "didn't work" how?

Regarding the layout: I'm trying to render all the results in the same way that the posts are rendered in the index, for example. I mean, inside the "content" part of the webpage. This way will keep the style of the whole page (navbar on the top, results in the content part, footer after the results). Does it make sense for you?

Regarding the languages: (looking at the code) I think it is handling that case now, isn't?

Regarding the "didn't work" comment: the data is rendered but it seems the context I'm using is not the same as the used for other base.tmpl rendering because many stuff are not included when I render search.tmpl in this way. For example, all the bootstrap magic is not executed for some reason.

@humitos I don't understand what you mean by "bootstrap magic" ... I'll take a look at it now.

I built the demo site with this plugin enabled. The search page looks ok, except for the search form itself that looks bad, but that seems to be because the markup is wrong?

Also, it doesn't search?

See attached screnshot showing that boootstrap is loaded...

I have localsearch set up on https://irclogs.getnikola.com/ (src) that works this way and that looks good. Here’s how I did it:

• I used stories/search.html, which is an empty page that is rendered using search.tmpl. You could probably make your task use the generic page renderer, and it does not need to be a LateTask.
• I changed the CSS so it looks better with bootstrap.
• I include tipuesearch.css everywhere, but I’m pretty sure it’s not necessary because I deleted the input styling. Could go in extra_head in search.tmpl.

PS. extra_js did not exist in the base theme, added in getnikola/nikola@5d22c2b.

conf.py

SEARCH_FORM = """
<form class="navbar-form navbar-left" action="/search/" role="search">
    <div class="form-group">
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="tipue_search_input" name="q" placeholder="Search" autocomplete="off">
    </div>
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</form>
"""

EXTRA_HEAD_DATA = """
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/assets/css/tipuesearch.css">
"""

search.tmpl

## -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
<%inherit file="base.tmpl"/>

<script src="/assets/js/tipuesearch_set.js"></script>

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#tipue_search_input').tipuesearch({
        'mode': 'json',
        'contentLocation': '/assets/js/tipuesearch_content.json',
        'showUrl': false
    });
});
</script>
</%block>

What’s the status of this?

@humitos do you mind if I steal this one?
