spotlight search plugin

fzdevOct 4 2024

I am testing the spotlight search 1.6.1 plugin and have found that using ~SEARCH_VALUE~ in the url fails against the page checksum protection.

If the page being redirected too has checksum required set for parameters this will fail.

If this is security attribute at page level is set to unrestricted it works.

I think their was a change in checksum behaviour around apex 20 or so to require the checksum value?

The plugin function strips the &cs= from the url if ~SEARCH_VALUE~ is used which is causing the issue. The apex_page.get_url used to generate the link in the plugin is generating the url with checksum for ~SEARCH_VALUE~ and the stripping of the checksum is no longer a workaround.

Has anyone worked out how to do the substitution before the get_url is executed?

Or is the substitution no longer a valid option?

(also has anyone worked out how to add a second hidden field for the search criteria currently it only allows you to use the 4 columns)

Thanks
