UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Archived Mods "Recent messages" instead of "Search results"

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:

In /dosearch.php look for:

code:
   $printwords = htmlspecialchars($Words);

---

replace with:

code:
   if (!$Words) {
     $printwords = "{$ubbt_lang['VIEW_PAST']}";
   } else {
     $printwords = "{$ubbt_lang['SEARCH_RES']} "" . htmlspecialchars($Words) . """;
   }

---

Still in /dosearch.php look for:

code:
// Send the header 
   $html -> send_header("{$ubbt_lang['SEARCH_RES']}: $printwords",$Cat,0,$user);

---

replace with:

code:
// Send the header
   $html -> send_header("$printwords",$Cat,0,$user);

---

In /templates/default/dosearch.tmpl find:

code:
{$ubbt_lang['SEARCH_RES']}: $printwords

---

replace with:

code:
$printwords

---

Finally in /languages/.../dosearch.php add 1 line:

code:
$ubbt_lang['VIEW_PAST']  = 	"Recent messages";

---

Good thinking!
Sounds that this is more like a fix to THREADS than an extra.

Maybe Scream might suggest this for the release.

I agree, very nice improvement!

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...

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.

Add some more lines to /languages/.../dosearch.php:
$ubbt_lang['VIEW_1day'] = "Past 24 hours";
$ubbt_lang['VIEW_2days'] = "Past 48 hours";
...

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

if (!$Words) { ... }

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.
