Helper Child Nodes: User-Friendly Search Results and Preventing Full Node Views

This article introduced two main issues that need to be considered with helper child nodes: showing or hiding their full views, and including or excluding them in search results. The outlined solutions are functional, powerful and flexible enough to suit many sites, and can be extended or modified.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post comments below, or use this contact form to contact me directly. As stated previously, the extensions discussed in this article can be downloaded here.

I would like to thank Sergey Puschin, Balazs Halasy and Peter Keung for reading drafts of this article and giving me valuable feedback.
