Yet Another Search Mod 1.0<br /><br />credits: chillin, DaLanTech and extremebikini<br /><br />This will give you 3 new options while searching:<br />1. Display All Posts (standard and default)<br />2. Display Last Posts (like .classic I guess)<br />3. Display Main Posts (like something somewhere)<br /><br /><br />I had placed all of the changes into this post but it stretched way out and people (like myself) hate that so now the file's attached. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /><br />Enjoy <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br />

Installed <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />And now, a word from my users:<br /><br /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bow.gif" alt="" />

LoL their welcome. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />For my next trick I'm pulling two sites out of one database. Stay tuned. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You've just one over hundreds of die hard Classic users with this one my friend: One of the number one complaints I get from Classic users centers around the lack of a Latest Threads display. <br /><br />You rock! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/peace.gif" alt="" />

My users have <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bow.gif" alt="" /> JustDave for well over a year. <br /><br />They love everything he's ever made for my site. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

This mod is in use here at threadsdev if you want to see it in action.

Is there a mod that combines or is similar to this one, but also includes the ability to search by username AND subject (at the same time) like this one http://www.threadsdev.com/threads/php/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=finished&Number=64283? (Nobody needs to make one if there isn't, I'm just wondering. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I prefer the ability to search by username and subject, but this is kinda neat too. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)

Thanks Dave - very nice mod.<br /><br />Ian

Okay - am I confused by what this mod actually does, or is there an error?<br /><br />When searching does this<br /><br />a)<br />1. Display All Posts - shows every post that has the word<br />2. Display Last Posts - shows just the last post in any thread that contains the word<br />3. Display Main Posts - shows the first post in any thread that contains the word<br /><br />or<br /><br />b)<br />1. Display All Posts - shows every post that has the word<br />2. Display Last Posts - shows only the last post if that last post actually has the word in it.<br />3. Display Main Posts - shows only the first post if that first post actually has the word in it.<br /><br />I assumed it was a) but it seems to be b) as I am getting some threads showing in the results on one option and not on another.<br /><br />Could you clarify this for me.<br /><br />Thanks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />

I'll have to do some seaches for words and see. Will let you know. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Glad you like it. Maybe Rick will see this and add it in to 6.3 <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So, I'd like to set this up so that users can click a link and it automatically takes them to the 25 Last Posts within 1 day..... <br /><br />Anyone know how I write that out? The search spits it out, but I don't know what string it is........ <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /><br />-peter

Nevermind.....I figured it out!<br /><br />-peter

Here's an interesting "glitch" that I've discovered in mine...<br /><br />Page one of my search results gives me just the last post just like I've asked for but any subsequent pages (when I click the "next" button) defaults back to all posts. <br /><br />Anyone? []http://www.americanconservatives.net/ubb/graemlins/shrug.gif[/]

It seems to work fine here....<br /><br />When you click "next" do you see the "displaytype" variable being passed in the URL?<br /><br />Do you have a get_input function for displaytype in dosearch.php like this:<br /><br />$displaytype = get_input("displaytype","both");<br /><br /><br />That should make it work.

Nope. That's the issue. And then if I click on "previous", it disappears as well. Where and how can I fix this? <br /> <br />And yes, I do have that line in my dosearch.php file. <br /> <br />My board is in my sigline. The Latest Threads link is in the TopNews line if you would like to see for yourself.

So you don't see it in the URL?<br /><br />Well then if that isn't in the URL.... then you missed the step in dosearch.php where you modify $prevlinkstart and $nextlinkstart.<br /><br />I just checked the instructions... it's there. Check those instructions again.<br /><br />Especially this part:<br /><br />## Change this:<br /><br /><br /> $prevlinkstart = "<a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/dosearch.php?Cat=$Cat&amp;Forum=$URLForum&amp;Words=$URLWords&amp;Match=$URLMatch&amp;Searchpage=$prevpage&amp;Limit=$Limit&amp;Old=$Old\">";<br /><br /><br />## to this:<br /><br /><br /> $prevlinkstart = "<a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/dosearch.php?Cat=$Cat&amp;[:"red"]displaytype=$displaytype&amp;[/]Forum=$URLForum&amp;Words=$URLWords&amp;Match=$URLMatch&amp;Searchpage=$prevpage&amp;Limit=$Limit&amp;Old=$Old\">";<br /><br /><br />## Change this:<br /><br /><br /> $nextlinkstart = "<a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/dosearch.php?Cat=$Cat&amp;Forum=$URLForum&amp;Words=$URLWords&amp;Match=$URLMatch&amp;Searchpage=$nextpage&amp;Limit=$Limit&amp;Old=$Old\">";<br /><br /><br />## to this:<br /><br /><br /> $nextlinkstart = "<a href=\"{$config['phpurl']}/dosearch.php?Cat=$Cat&amp;[:"red"]displaytype=$displaytype&amp;[/]Forum=$URLForum&amp;Words=$URLWords&amp;Match=$URLMatch&amp;Searchpage=$nextpage&amp;Limit=$Limit&amp;Old=$Old\">";<br /><br /> <br /><br />It should work fine to you once you get the variables to pass in the URL. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
