Sorry, not sure how to word it, but I’m struggling to make other technology function with my algolia application. For example, if i get php to work, (which I need to create a functioning contact form) in my project, then algolia’s instanstsearch stops working/running even though it’s on the same server and same project folder, all the widgets disappear. I set up algolia following this guide: Quickstart with the JavaScript API client | Algolia
I then tried using node js instead to create the form. The reason I set up the algolia application was to add a search engine functionality to my project, but it feels like this api has restricted what else I can do in this project. I tried using this thing called nodemailer for my contact form which uses node js, instead of the PHP, but when I get it to run, my algolia application, again, loses its functionality.
So, yeah, how do I get my application to not be so algolia-centric, and instead function with other things? Hopefully someone can explain the reason this happens, cause obviously there’s a lot I don’t understand!
Cheers
