[RELEASE] Admin Hack - Search Templates!

Oh yes, never again will you have to waste time searching through the template list to find just what you need -- just do a search!

Tested lightly, but it should work. Let me know if you find any bugs!

In admin/template.php...

Look for:// ###################### Start modify #######################
if ($action=="modify") {Above the first line, add:// ####################### Search sub ########################

function searchcode() {

print "<p>";
global $like;
if ($like) {
print "<b>Previous Search</b>:\n<br>\n";
$likeout = htmlentities($like);
print $likeout."<p>\n";
$like = addslashes($like);
}
?>
<form action="template.php">
<input type=hidden name=action value=search>
<b>Search for templates containing</b>:<br>
<input type=text name=like size=50><br>
<input type="submit" value="Search Templates!">
</form>

<br>

<?
}

// ###################### Start search #######################
if ($action=="search") {

searchcode();

echo "<p><ul>\n";

$templates=$DB_site->query("SELECT templateid,title FROM template WHERE title<>'options' and template like '%$like%' ORDER BY title");

while ($template=$DB_site->fetch_array($templates)) {

echo "<li>$template[title] <a href=\"template.php?action=edit&templateid=$template[templateid]\">[edit]</a> <a href=\"template.php?action=remove&templateid=$template[templateid]\">[delete]</a></li>\n";

}

echo "</ul></p>\n";

echo "<p>That's all folks</p>\n";
}And below the second line, add:searchcode();

A real life saver for some of us ;)

Hello,

Thanks for the hack! This will bve very useful. :)

I get an error:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `'('' in /home/paintballcity/forums/vb/admin/template.php on line 116

I'm sure I followed the easy directions correctly. Maybe I'm too tired...its late. I'll tackle this in the morning. Thanks again.

Should work now...I had an old version (non-working) of the code in my clipboard when I made the post :/

ohhh kinky...oh behave... :)

uuuhhhm?!?!

I've been watching too much Austin Powers.

Nice job. Really helps out a lot.

Gosh, this is a nice hack. Wish I'd installed it a few weeks ago before monkeying around so much with my templates! Thanks very much.

Stallion:

I am not sure what you mean by "above the first line" and "below the second line". First line or above the Start Modify? Second line or below the if action=modify line? Is that what you mean?

The
// ####################### Search sub ######################## stuff is inserted immediately before the // ###################### Start modify ####################### line in the template.php file, and the "searchcode();" line is inserted in the template.php file so that it becomes the next line after if ($action=="modify") { in template.php
