I can't seem to get the link on a page chooser to render the page properly.

Velocity:

#set ($search = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($contentRoot, '//system-data-structure/menu-settings'))
   #if ($includeSearch == "Yes")
      #set ($searchResults = $search.getChild("search-results-page"))
      #set ($searchResultsPage = $searchResults.getChild("path").value)
      <li class="search-button-wrap"><a href="#" class="search-button" id="search-button"><span class="fa fa-search"></span></a>   </li>
      #searchincluded
   #end




#macro(searchincluded)
    <div class="nav-box search" id="nav-box">
        <form action="${searchResultsPage}" id="form-search" method="get" name="searchForm">
            <label><input autocomplete="off" class="input-medium" id="q" maxlength="2048" name="q" placeholder="Search This Site" type="search" /></label>
            <button type="submit" formaction="#" class="btn"><span class="fa fa-search"></span></button>
        </form>
    </div>
#end

HTML Output - cleary /search doesn't work:

   <form action="/search" id="form-search" method="get" name="searchForm">
      <label><input autocomplete="off" class="input-medium" id="q" maxlength="2048" name="q" placeholder="Search This Site" type="search"></label>
      <button class="btn" type="submit"><span class="fa fa-search"></span></button>
   </form>

   Hi,

   Is the page being selecting within the chooser within a different Site by chance? If it is, use the link element instead of path to generate a cross-Site link:

   #set ($searchResultsPage = $searchResults.getChild("link").value)
   

   If the selected page is within the same page, try surrounding the value of the path with [system-asset] pseudo tags to force Cascade to track the link:

   <form action="[system-asset]${searchResultsPage}[/system-asset]" id="form-search" method="get" name="searchForm">
   

   Site note: Either way, I would suggest using link in the event the chosen page does end up being within another Site.

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks!
