Hi, suggestion to improve the search feature

Add this:

Code:

---

// aaron's uber-1337 search enhancement hax //

      if (($bbuserinfo[maxposts] != -1) and ($bbuserinfo[maxposts] != 0)) {
                                $maxposts = $bbuserinfo[maxposts];
                        }
      if (($searchresult[replycount]+1)>$maxposts and $linktopages) {

        $totalpages=($searchresult[replycount]+1)/$maxposts;
        if ($totalpages!=intval($totalpages)) {
          $totalpages=intval($totalpages)+1;
        }

        $acurpage=0;
        $pagenumbers='';
        while ($acurpage++<$totalpages) {
          if ($acurpage==$maxmultipage) {
            eval("\$pagenumbers .= \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_multipagenav_more')."\";");
            break;
          } else {
            eval("\$pagenumbers .= \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_multipagenav_pagenumber')."\";");
          }
        }
        eval("\$searchresult[pagenav] = \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_multipagenav')."\";");
      } else {
        $searchresult[pagenav]='';
      }

// aaron's uber-1337 search enhancement hax //

---

into search.php above this:

Code:

---

          $frmjmpsel[search] = " selected class=\"fjsel\"";
          makeforumjump();
      eval ("\$searchresultbits .= \"".gettemplate("$searchtemplatebit")."\";");
    }

---

Then, you will need to edit the searchresultbit_threadonly template and change this line:

Quote:

---

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left"><normalfont>$searchresult[gotonew] $searchresult[typeprefix] $paperclip<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$searchresult[threadid]$highlightwords">$searchresult[threadtitle]</a></normalfont></td>

---

to this:

Quote:

---

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left"><normalfont>$searchresult[gotonew] $searchresult[typeprefix] $paperclip<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$searchresult[threadid]$highlightwords">$searchresult[threadtitle]</a> </normalfont><smallfont>$searchresult[pagenav]</smallfont></td>

---

This will cause thread-only search results to return page numbers, which is really quite useful for any message board that gets an appreciable amount of traffic. Check http://216.97.98.128/forum/search.php?action=getdaily for an example of this nifty feature in action. It's not really much of a complicated hack, and I think the benefits it returns are bloody well worth it. :P

Note: I just wrote this hack myself. ;)

:skull::skull::skull::skull:er, I didn't know it was you until I actually saw your signature.

Die.

rofl, who else would post elaborate hack suggestions like this? xP

I saw the word aaron in the comment and glossed over the rest of the post :p

We can't use it then. :ezpimp:

Edit: Damn you, add The Pimp!

Yams makes an even better suggestion than mine. :ezpimp:

Bugger the pimp in the rectum with a diode.

>:O

Try me. Just try em/

*tries Bleys*

There's always a riesen for the chocolate chew

This hack is great! Oh wait... it hasn't been installed.

And it WON'T BE :aimmad:

actually, it sounds like a great hack. it is ridiculously annoying to wade through eight page threads just to find the specific post you searched for. I know it highlights the searched words, but still. Yes, I do these searches on a semi-regular basis.

Or you go back to the search page and refine your search parameters, making sure you've selected post search instead of thread search :p

you could do that, but what fun would it be?

Just install the hack already. :cool:

Aaron's, or the ezpimp? :p

Both. :ezpimp:

Both, as in neither? Agreed. *closes thread*

Aw crap. Some habits are hard to break.

I can't add one since I don't have access, and won't add the other either anyway :p
