After many months, I've had to come back to a component that was well under way, which I thought was automatically indexing the data I was saving as it was saved. As I'm re-familiarizing myself with what code was underway, I've found that the automatic indexing isn't happening (anymore). I cannot, for the life of me, find anywhere that the indexing method is firing, nor can I find anything online that explains how to make that happen.
Running the CLI indexer does perform the indexing, so I know that the code works - I just can't figure out what in my component has gone missing (or perhaps was never implemented) that fires it automatically. I've studied Creating a Smart Search Plugin, and while it describes the methods and events to use, it doesn't explain or give and example of implementing it in the model.
Scouring the core Joomla code hasn't been much help because of the way all these events and methods are stored/named/inherited and then dynamically constructed to execute.
When I use the model ->save()
, should I be loading/triggering something, or is there something in the model itself that I've forgotten or is missing?
