Well, I don't like the label "Search results for query:" if I actually clicked "View recent messages" on the main page. I didn't enter a search text, so this is not a search result at all (ok, it is a search on the DB, but not for the "normal" user). This fixes this behaviour:<br /><br />In /dosearch.php look for:<pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr> $printwords = htmlspecialchars($Words);</pre><hr> <br />replace with:<pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr> if (!$Words) {<br /> $printwords = "{$ubbt_lang['VIEW_PAST']}";<br /> } else {<br /> $printwords = "{$ubbt_lang['SEARCH_RES']} \"" . htmlspecialchars($Words) . "\"";<br /> }</pre><hr><br /><br />Still in /dosearch.php look for:<pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>// Send the header <br /> $html -> send_header("{$ubbt_lang['SEARCH_RES']}: $printwords",$Cat,0,$user);</pre><hr><br />replace with:<pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>// Send the header<br /> $html -> send_header("$printwords",$Cat,0,$user);</pre><hr><br /><br />In /templates/default/dosearch.tmpl find:<pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>{$ubbt_lang['SEARCH_RES']}: $printwords</pre><hr><br />replace with:<pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>$printwords</pre><hr><br /><br />Finally in /languages/.../dosearch.php add 1 line:<pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>$ubbt_lang['VIEW_PAST'] = "Recent messages";</pre><hr>

Good thinking!<br />Sounds that this is more like a fix to THREADS than an extra.<br /><br />Maybe Scream might suggest this for the release.

I agree, very nice improvement! <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

I just create duplicate dosearch files, rename them to 12, 24, 48, 7, etc, and then modify them to say "Past 12 hours" or whatever I want... then of course, add the links to the other recent message checks...<br /><br />Example here.

Or you could check the $Old variable in dosearch.php. There's a block checking for $Old inside dosearch.php anyway for calculating the $time. Just append the appropriate language-string to $printwords and add the new strings to the lang-files.<br /><br />Add some more lines to /languages/.../dosearch.php:<br />$ubbt_lang['VIEW_1day'] = "Past 24 hours";<br />$ubbt_lang['VIEW_2days'] = "Past 48 hours";<br />...

Hmm, that's a good idea, but one wouldn't be able to change the HTML of that page without it also affecting the regular search results... right?

Only touch the variable $printwords, if $Words is empty<br /><br />if (!$Words) { ... }<br /><br />Doesn't affect the normal search then. Only if the user doesn't type any search-text, but then its also nice to give him the "recent messages" page as result.
