A great way to find a car for sale in Idaho. Uses Ubercart, and Apache SOLR. Making it easy for people to find the car their looking for.

Ubercart with the uc_recurring module is used to handle the magic of recurring payments from Dealerships in the area.

Very nice drupal site!

How did you get the search results to display so nicely - when I use apachesolr I just get a mess care of the "search snippet"?

eg...

Very impressed!

Cheers

Thanks James! Have you tried

Thanks James!

Have you tried modifying these two files?

search-results.tpl.php
search-result.tpl.php

Most of the work for that page was done in the search-result.tpl.php file. It's just like any other template, but you'll want to add this

/**
* function for pulling out the necessary variables in the search results to display thumbnails images alongside the search results
*/
function hook_preprocess_search_result(&$vars, $hook) {
  $n = node_load($vars['result']['node']->nid);
  $n && ($vars['node'] = $n);
}

to your template file so that images can be displayed within the template. I think I ended up deleting the line about the snippet. It wasn't very helpful when you want a custom solution.
