base_url variable doesn't parse in Low Search Results

Stephen 27 Mar 2017 21:04 problem, complete

I'm running ExpressionEngine 3.5.4 and Low Search 5.1.0. I set the Search Results field in the Channel Settings to use the {base_url} variable such as {base_url}/blog/post. When I use the {auto_path} variable in the Low Search Results tag it isn't parsing the {base_url} variable so the URL that it's pulling in looks like {base_url}/blog/post/test-blog-post.

Not sure if that's expected, but it would be great if that variable would parse in the exp:low_search_results tag.

   Ah right. Haven't had the chance to add that in LS just yet. To fix, open up filters/keywords/lsf.keywords.php and look up line #1223 and #1224, which read:
   
   

     $this->_prep_urls(); 
    }

   
   
   Move that first line below the curly bracket, so it becomes:
   
   

   } 
   
    $this->_prep_urls();

   
   
   Then, look up line #546, which reads:
   
   

   $url = rtrim($url, '/') . '/';

   
   
   Below that, add a new line with:
   
   

   $url = str_replace('{base_url}', ee()->config->item('base_url'), $url);

   
   
   which should fix it.
