Info/Instructions: In dosearch.php... <br /> <br />CHANGE THIS: <br /> <br />
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />// If we are searching for all posts by a user we need to know their username <br /> if ($Match == "Username") { <br /> $where = "U_Number = '$Words'"; <br /> <br />TO THIS: <br /> <br />
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />// If we are searching for all posts by a user we need to know their username <br /> if ($Match == "Username") { <br /> $where = "U_Username = '$Words'"; <br /> <br /> <br />OPTIONAL: <br /> <br />I also recommend removing the 'By username' entry box from search.php since it appears to be entirely redundant to the 'Words to search for' entry box, and mimics it's behaviour in an identical manner (not to mention causes extra confusion)... <br /> <br />In templates/search.tmpl... <br /> <br />CHANGE THIS: <br /> <br />
{$ubbt_lang['SEARCH_WORDS']}<br /> <br /><input type="text" name = "Words" size="30" class="formboxes" /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br />By username<br> <br /><input type="text" name = "byuser" size="30" class="formboxes" /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br />TO THIS: <br /> <br />
{$ubbt_lang['SEARCH_WORDS']}<br /> <br /><input type="text" name = "Words" size="30" class="formboxes" /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />:-) <br /> <br />
