Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5354 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	VNC Web Design UBB.Google Adsense Search by Gizmo (James at VNC Web Design; http://www.virtualnightclub.net/) This addon allows your users to search Google and have the results display inline on your forum. Homepage: http://www.virtualnightclub.net/detail/4/ubb-gsearch.php Support: http://www.ubbdev.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/318145/7_x_Google_Adsense_Search.html Install Instructions: Upload the included files to your server (be careful to preserve directory structure) and add a link to the header.inc.php template file. Setup: Be sure to edit the language file (languages/english/google.php), this file contains the configuration options for this script; including your publisher ID which contains your style code ID. This is a requirement as it includes your URL, Publisher ID, Style ID; basicaly everything this script needs. There is an "advanced" tick in the Script file (/scripts/google.inc.php), basically just affecting how the title is built; for most users this won't need to be adjusted. Mods: To add an option in your header: In /templates/default/header.tpl Find: Code: <a href="{ubb url="ubb=faq"}">{$lang.FAQ_TEXT}</a> Add ABOVE: Code: <a href="{ubb url="ubb=google"}">{$lang.GOOGLE}</a>     In /languages/english/generic.php Find: Code: $ubbt_lang['FAQ_TEXT'] = "FAQ"; Add AFTER: Code: $ubbt_lang['GOOGLE'] = "Google"; To have "Using the Google Search" display on the Who's Online: In /languages/english/online.php Add: Code: $ubbt_lang['GOOGLE'] = "Using the Google Search"; Files: /languages/english/google.php /scripts/google.inc.php /templates/default/google.tpl Attachments UBB.Google Adsense Search.zip (4 downloads) _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

badfrog Power User Registered: 03/05/07 Posts: 83 Loc: somewhere on the coast of Main...	trying it out now! what would it take to add it to the search drop down menu? and this still doesn't resolve my original problem, redirecting a google search from another page and having the output in the wrapper.. I have custom error pages, so when someone gets an error 404, they get a window offering them helpful advice, like site navigation, and a search box.. that search box currently has to point to a standalone page to display googles results, I can't get in the wrapper...

Adding it to the search dropdown shouldn't be difficult at all, simply open the header.tpl file and then locate the search dropdown code:

Code:

{if $search_link}
<div id="search_popup" style="display: none">
	<form method="post" action="{ubb url=""}">
		<input type="hidden" name="ubb" value="dosearch" />
		<input type="hidden" name="daterange" value="0" />
		<input type="hidden" name="where" value="bodysub" />
		<input type="hidden" name="fromsearch" value="1" />
		<input type="hidden" name="checkwords" value="1" />

		<table class="popup_menu">
			<tr>
				<td nowrap='nowrap' class="popup_menu_header">{$lang.SEARCH_HEADER}</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td class="popup_menu_content noclose">
					<label>
						<input type="text" name="Words" class="form-input" />
						<input type="submit" name="textsearch" value="{$lang.GO_BUTTON}" class="form-button" />
					</label>
				</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td class="popup_menu_content"><a href="{ubb url="ubb=search"}">{$lang.ADVANCED_BUTTON}</a></td>
			</tr>
		</table>
	</form>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
	registerPopup("search_popup");
</script>
{/if}

Then, add a new line after:

Code:

			<tr>
				<td class="popup_menu_content"><a href="{ubb url="ubb=search"}">{$lang.ADVANCED_BUTTON}</a></td>
			</tr>

Like:

Code:

			<tr>
				<td class="popup_menu_content"><a href="{ubb url="ubb=google"}">Google Search</a></td>
			</tr>

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5354 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	As for your 404 stuff, theres an additional parameter you have to pass (it makes it so the search result stuff only shows when a search is being preformed); so you'd put: Code: <form action="/forum/ubbthreads.php" id="cse-search-box"> <input type="hidden" name="ubb" value="google" /> <input type="hidden" name="process" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-5168900358893374:runafbk50ac" /> <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:11" /> <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" /> <input type="text" name="q" size="31" class="form-input" /> <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" class="form-button" /> </form> _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

badfrog Power User Registered: 03/05/07 Posts: 83 Loc: somewhere on the coast of Main...	another mod? what could that be?! lol fixing this now is more of a curiosity for me than a necessity. having the text input box on the 404 page looks better to me.. personal preference I guess. for now I can just use a link to the the embedded search page since I know that works.

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5354 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	well, the 404 is on google's site; it doesn't like how they pull the fake url into the mix and that's what it's choking on. I finished v1 of the nag screns. _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...
