Edit: nevermind...
Looks very interesting.
Thanx for sharing.

[GrandHolyKing]

Is there an english site I can demo it on? Even one that someone has installed from here will do..
Thanks!

[wolfstream]

This is why screenshots are so important!
Please provide a screenshot, or an English site. Hell, even a better description would do!

[crkgb]

I think the demo in this case much better off with a demo link and not a screen shot

[mad@Max]

For what you need english site? This is so easy, in the search field (top-right) type any phrase and you will see work of mod.
I can did screenshot, but it dont tell about mod...

[Barakat]

intersting .... on my way to test it .... thanks for shareing

[dvbusuario]

Very good mod

Install & Nominated!!!

Thank you.

[AlexanderT]

Suggestion: Would it be possible to get rid of the custom Ajax XMLHttpRequests and use vB's built-in Ajax support instead?

[AzaDiyaR]

wow thank you very much for this mod... this working perfectly ;)

[mad@Max]

AlexanderT, may be...

[bashy]

HI

This aint working for me, I installed the product and uploaded all files in the forum root
I also used your search box code above and added it to my navbar, the search works
fine just not showing the the live search box :(

[mad@Max]

Hm...
In template lsearch find:
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_live_search.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/vbulletin_css/live_search.css" />

Replace:
<script type="text/javascript" src="forum/clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_live_search.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="forum/clientscript/vbulletin_css/live_search.css" />
Just you use another path to forum.

[bashy]

Hi, mine is actually /forums/ and i have added this and still no go for launch :(

[mad@Max]

Were i can see search field on your site?

[bashy]

Hi

I have added it directly above the Latest threads at the top for you to see
www.bashys-place.com/forums

[mad@Max]

Hm, i dont understand why... Were are you put ajax_search.php?

[bashy]

Hi

Thats in public_html/forums/ folder

[bashy]

Hi again

Looks like its my style as it works on the default VB style but sadly i do not use
the default style, i only use the mns7 style :(

[mad@Max]

Probably this is conflict...

[maidos]

How do i move the position of the search result?

[maidos]

when i click the close link on search result it redirects me to index page... when im in threads and searching

for each word i type the search result display Èùåì...

[saviola8x]

Thanks so much.

[JVSP]

How do you get this to work with a vbadvanced page at .com and the forum which is at .com/forum? I placed the search box in my navbar left of the welcome message... it works fine on the forum but not on the .com....the search results do not pop up.

[mad@Max]

Because i use one directory were placed forum and vbadvanced (/forum.php, /index.php).
In the next version with ajax - TODO:

search members (by request rovokop);
search in each forum, like "Search this forum";
more capability and functionality;

[maidos]

theres a bug when i add the code id="search_input" name="query" onkeyup="showHint(this.value)"

the profile tabs is gone and when i remove it its there again

Can you make the live search, search for files for DownloadsII a vb mods

[Magnumutz]

The demo video is enough.
Good job, i remember having a similar mod in the 3.5/3.6 days... but it died.

[JVSP]

Thanks,

How can you make the search results show up newest to oldest?

-and-

I also noticed when the product is enabled the rss feed detector in IE does not work, when I disable this product the feed detector works.

-----------------------------------------

Because i use one directory were placed forum and vbadvanced (/forum.php, /index.php).
In the next version with ajax - TODO:

search members (by request rovokop);
search in each forum, like "Search this forum";
more capability and functionality;


if this search could work on all pages that would be great..

[Skyrider]

I'm confused how to install this mod O_o.

[mad@Max]

FF|Skyrider, read first post.
fxlr8, in ajax_search.php:
before LIMIT add ORDER BY dateline DESC or ORDER BY dateline ASC.

[maidos]

max what about myreplies?

[Skyrider]

FF|Skyrider, read first post.
fxlr8, in ajax_search.php:
before LIMIT add ORDER BY dateline DESC or ORDER BY dateline ASC.
I have read it, and I am still confused.

Installation:
Upload all files from folder "upload" in root directory of your forum.
Import product
If you dont have opened search field, add this code where you prefer:
HTML Code:

<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">
<div id="tb-searchdiv">
<div id="tb-searchbox"><input type="text" id="search_input" name="query" tabindex="1001" maxlength="128" value="$vbphrase[search_forums]" onfocus="if(this.value=='$vbphrase[search_forums]')this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='$vbphrase[search_forums]')this.value='';" onkeyup="showHint(this.value)" /></div>
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
</div>
</form>
If you already have this form, find <input type="text" ... /> and after type="text" add id="search_input" name="query" onkeyup="showHint(this.value)"

The place of the window and his style you can change in the file live_search.css
I'm sorry, but I don't understand this. Would be great if you add the details what files / templates to edit in order for the AJAX search function to work.

EDIT:
I got it to work thanks to someone's post in this thread. You might want to include that you have to edit one of the templates and add that code in it to make it to work.

[-=Leb=-]

Hi mad@max, i'm wondering how can i put the search box from the left side of the forum to the right side?
That will be awesome if you could help me with that.
Also is there anyway to change background color for the search results

Anyway, thank you installed and nominated :)

[mad@Max]

maidos, i'm not using this mod, may be in the future...
Leb, in the next version i did interface of setting style. Now you can change style in the file ajax_search.css.

[maidos]

as for the bugs i posted? and feature to move the searchresult?
the profile tabs disappears, and when im not on index.php and click the close the result i will be redirected to the index page

[JVSP]

fxlr8, in ajax_search.php:
before LIMIT add ORDER BY dateline DESC or ORDER BY dateline ASC.

Works a treat, Thanks!!!

[JVSP]

Also is there anyway to change background color for the search results


edit live_search.css

[FiMeTi]

Man this is great!! Works fine. Installed and nominated.

Could you please integrate this into vbadvanced?
Possible?

[WildSoftCat]

It works fine in IE 8 and Google chrome, but in Opera and Firefox doesn't :(. Shows "nothing found". What can It mean ?:confused:

[XxSparks]

I'm sorry to be such a newbie at this but would anyone possibly mind helping me out?

I'm not quite sure where to find this:

If you already have this form, find <input type="text" ... /> and after type="text" add id="search_input" name="query" onkeyup="showHint(this.value)"

I've also uploaded the xml as a import plugin. And uploaded all my files to my room directory public_html/forum.
I also can't see the option for it in the vBulletin Options menu. What might be the problem?

Thanks in advanced.

[FiMeTi]

@ XxSparks: You dont need that info u?ve posted anyway.

Just put this Code:

<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">
<div id="tb-searchdiv">
<div id="tb-searchbox"><input type="text" id="search_input" name="query" tabindex="1001" maxlength="128" value="$vbphrase[search_forums]" onfocus="if(this.value=='$vbphrase[search_forums]')this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='$vbphrase[search_forums]')this.value='';" onkeyup="showHint(this.value)" /></div>
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
</div>
</form>


on the place, that you want the search-function to be shown.
Edit the template where you want it to be and paste the code.
:)

[XxSparks]

Thank you so much FiMe ^_^ It worked like a charm.
But I hope it's not too much trouble for me asking.

I've actually played around with it, i've gotten the search bellow the other Search buttom.
Above the Sub forums, above Threads, but I'm wondering if there's any way to get it in the header like in this place here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/09/28.png

I would assume its in the forum header, i looked there, but its all above or bellow the headers.
So it looks rather odd. o.o

[FiMeTi]

:) that was also the place where I was going to put it in, but after 2 hours of experimenting I just surrender. Hope someone can help ^^

[JVSP]

I have mine to the left of the welcome box in the navbar. Here is the code I used.

<td class="alt1">
<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">
<div id="tb-searchdiv">
<div id="tb-searchbox"><input type="text" id="search_input" name="query" tabindex="1001" maxlength="128" value="$vbphrase[search_forums]" onfocus="if(this.value=='$vbphrase[search_forums]')this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='$vbphrase[search_forums]')this.value='';" onkeyup="showHint(this.value)" /></div>
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
</div>
</form>
</td>


Place it right after
<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>
</if>
</td>
in the navbar template.

[FiMeTi]

THATS PERFECT! :D
Thx br0 really do appreciate it.

chEErs

[XxSparks]

Thanks any who Fi :).
And fx that's PERFECT! ^_^ heh.

Thanks for that.

[mad@Max]

In version 1.2 i'm remove css file. Added highlight words in result, trim title of thread, if it large, and more compatible with different style.

[mad@Max]

Hot fix. Reuploaded.

[JVSP]

thanks..

Would be nice if it worked on all pages.

Also another question.....
How can I get the search window to look the same in both IE and FF.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/09/43.jpg
Top pic is IE
Bottom is FF

[mad@Max]

Its worked on all pages...
Strange, im get one result from both browsers.

[JVSP]

Its worked on all pages...


It works on my .com/forum but not .com

[mad@Max]

Hm, in vbulletin_ajax_live_search.js find ajax_search.php and replace with http://www.your_site.com/forum/ajax_search.php.

[JVSP]

Hm, in vbulletin_ajax_live_search.js find ajax_search.php and replace with http://www.your_site.com/forum/ajax_search.php.
Done, but it still doesn't work on my vbadvanced page. It works on my vbadvanced page when I put in the full address in the template "lsearch" but then the search won't work on my forum page. So it is like I can only have the search on one or the other.

[-=Leb=-]

Now i got same problem. I edited the vbulletin_ajax_live_search.js and i put the link to my forum and it still not working.
i'm getting this error when i search on my forum

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: str_ireplace() in /home/content/b/1/n/b1****/html/forums/ajax_search.php on line 47


maybe i need to edit the ajax_search.php -

Sorry for the trouble and thx for your patience

[mad@Max]

fxlr8
May i look on your site?

[VeeDubZ]

you need to update the parts that are still not in english....one in vbulletin_ajax_live_search.js on line 8 and also in the product-lsearch_eng.xml file line 21 needs something to the effect of Live Search Results.

Great hack

[mad@Max]

Leb
You need put ajax_search.php in forum directory, because vbadvanced used forum engine.
VeeDubZ, Thanks, im forgot:)

[-=Leb=-]

Hi Max, the ajax_search.php is in the forum directory. I never changed or put it in wrong folder .

The older version worked fine for me, never had problem with it till i update it to the newest version .

[VeeDubZ]

Also adding a new phrase like $vbphrase[live_search] with the text "Forum Live Search" instead of using $vbphrase[search_forums] as ive done looks better IMO, look on my site www.reptilicious.com for a demo

[JVSP]

ive mine set to this, but how to make it display on the navbar on all pages not just the forum home page?

[Nordinho]

hmm..when I enable this mod I get the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ']' in ***/global.php(825) : eval()'d code on line 31

[nesta1]

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ']' in /home/xxxx/public_html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3729) : eval()'d code on line 8

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish

[mad@Max]

Ok, i fix all problem. Soon reupload.

[mad@Max]

Mod reaploaded.
I simulate situation with path "site/forum/" on my localhost. Now it worked if you add your path (setting in first post).

[maidos]

when i trieduploading the new version product xml i get this

XML Error: Internal error at Line 32

[mad@Max]

maidos
Thanks, reapload:)

[JVSP]

doesn't seem to work on both vbadvanced page and forum reliably

[mad@Max]

fxlr8
Update all files.

[JVSP]

fxlr8
Update all files.

I originally had the updated files but it did not work on my homepage so I put back the older version.

I just reinstalled the newer files so you could take a look...... if you try searching on the homepage it gives nothing...it only works on the forum page.

[mad@Max]

You dont read my message in first post or install.txt...
If you use vbadvanced, open vbulletin_ajax_live_search.js and add your forum path in var hurl="", like var hurl="http://your_site.com/forum/"

[JVSP]

does adding www matter?

sorry for all the questions.

[mad@Max]

Doesnt matter.

[maidos]

thanks for the fix

[JVSP]

working great now... Thanks for all your help.

Also in ajax_search.php I had to fill out the full address or the search results in vbadvanced wouldn't add /forum in it

Like:
echo "<a href=\"http://www.xxxxx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=".$result['threadid']."\" title=\"".$alt."\">" . $result['title'] . "</a><br />";

[maidos]

how do i really change the bg color of the result window aswell of the background for Search results? and possible to add strokes on the search window?

[Nordinho]

Mod reaploaded.
I simulate situation with path "site/forum/" on my localhost. Now it worked if you add your path (setting in first post).

Thanks...brilliant mod

[Ray2khax]

Very nice mod! I love it and are going to be installing right now. Very nice job on it.

[Nordinho]

Can posts that a user doesn't have permission to view be removed from the search results?

[AzaDiyaR]

wow thank you very much :D this is very cool ;)
working ;)

Got it fixed, I just had to add padding in the code in the lsearch template.

[mad@Max]

Nordinho, i can made option like "Group ID, who can use [AJAX] Live Search"...
fxlr8, padding is default for each style.

[Nordinho]

i can made option like "Group ID, who can use [AJAX] Live Search"... hmm..that's not what I meant. I searched my testsite as a guest and in the searchresults a post showed up that is located in my moderator forums. Clicking it gave a no permission page. I would like to remove the the post that a user isn't allowed to view from the search results. Hope this is more clear.

[mad@Max]

Script protect special forum from guest.

[Max Kwiatkowski]

Good job! Thank you.

[Julrou]

Hi !

I reverted to 1.2, it does not work.

Do you modify sql table somewhere?

login to your phpmyadmin and check this.. connection collation, MySQL charset,and table collation

mine is
connection collation utf8_collation_ci

MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

Tables latin1_swedish_ci

[mad@Max]

Mod is updated.
In the file ajax_search.php: "If you use cp1251 collation your tables, uncomment below strings"

What do I have to do to fix this? Any change I have to make to the php or js files?

[mad@Max]

Quantnet.org, needed a write convert function.

whenever search i see BOX but empty in BOX

[mad@Max]

I dont no, if i add converters for all charset, mod will be large...

[maidos]

can you provide 1.2 again? so we can use it instead of the newer version

[rmxs]

For me works fine. :)

Maybe you have different charset in your db

[Quantnet]

why in version 1.2, it doesn't matter what charset you have, it works for everyone and now 1.3 only works for certain charset. I find it weird.

I also like to get version 1.2 back ;)

[mad@Max]

Please, who have 1.2 version of mod, post link on it. I'm miss that version:) I will put it in first post.

[mad@Max]

Quantnet.org, try attached file with 1.3 version of mod.

[maidos]

Quantnet.org, try attached file with 1.3 version of mod.

not working :(

[mad@Max]

maidos, What are you use connection collation?

[nesta1]

hello i have 1 problem!
i search after find ! link is false!
for example ! mydomain/forum/...
but find link mydomain.com/showthread

[mad@Max]

How it is?

[Quantnet]

mad@max,
thanks but the new file does not help.

I also have it kinda work in a different template but it has the same problem nesta1 mention.

The results is missing /forum/ part in the link.
instead of http://www.site.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2018
it points to
http://www.site.com/showthread.php?t=2018

[Quantnet]

To fix the missing forum part in the result, this is what i did

Open ajax_search.php

Find echo "<div style=\"float:left;\"><a href=\"".$vboptions[bburl]."/showthread.php?

Replace with
echo "<div style=\"float:left;\"><a href=\"".$vboptions[bburl]."/forum/showthread.php?

[mad@Max]

Quantnet.org, in the forum setting "Forum URL", what url you have?

[rmxs]

This error happends also to me..
go dirrect to showthread and doest use forum url prefix.

[rmxs]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1637533&postcount=135

This fix doesnt help me :)

[Quantnet]

Quantnet.org, in the forum setting "Forum URL", what url you have?
http://www.quantnet.org/forum

[mad@Max]

I repeat my answer for all who mod not working, what you use mysql connection collation?
http://www.quantnet.org/forum
$vboptions[bburl] = http://www.quantnet.org/forum
This variable get link on your forum :)

[maidos]

maidos, What are you use connection collation?

i followed the another members instructions about the forum url path but doesnt work


mysql> show session variables like '%collation_connection%';
+----------------------+-------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+----------------------+-------------------+
| collation_connection | latin1_danish_ci |
+----------------------+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

[mad@Max]

maidos, for you in the file ajax_search.php find utf-8 and replace with latin1_danish_ci (your collation). Must be work.
Soon i write settings in the mod like trim title and collation.

[maidos]

replaced but didnt work. Made sure to clean the browser cache... think you could visit my forum admincp

[mad@Max]

maidos, check your pm.

[rmxs]

what about the forum path?

still doesnt work.

[mad@Max]

rmxs, check your pm too :)

[mad@Max]

Who have problem with mod, try delete $query = iconv('UTF-8', $stylevar['charset'], $query); from ajax_search.php. maidos its helped.

[maidos]

possible to be able to search with two keywords if i enter those two keywords reversed
example:
If i search for ABC DEF the search result will only show ABC D or ABC DE etc
while there is thread for DEF ABC but it will not find that thread if i search with ABC DEF

[JVSP]

I noticed on my forum it would only work if I put www into the address.

For example
This http://quantnet.org/forum/ the search will not work
but on this http://www.quantnet.org/forum/ with www in the address the search will work.

[JVSP]

Here is 1.2 if anybody needs it.

[mad@Max]

maidos, its not possible.
fxlr8, delete www. from var hurl="http://www.quantnet.org/forum/"

[maidos]

oh ok, but can the live search include files from the mods DownloadsII
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=120122&highlight=downloadsII

[mad@Max]

No, need write a new mod:)

[mad@Max]

Hack is updated.
Now its work with vBadvanced (in the mod options choose "yes", about vBadvanced), also with www. and withuot.
Added optional title trimming.

[maidos]

the new version stopped working again :(

[mad@Max]

maidos, its problem in your template. Check your pm, i send the fix.

[rmxs]

What about if the forum is under subdir?

now we edit the file manual

in new version?

[mad@Max]

In new version just set "Yes", in the setting of mod "You use vBadvanced?".
I will make screenshot.

[boandmichele]

is there any way to exclude my private subforum? (i have one for moderators and one for moderated/moved threads)

[boandmichele]

is there any way to exclude my private subforum? (i have one for moderators and one for moderated/moved threads)

ive deactivated this until i can get this resolved. :(

[mad@Max]

Mod is updated.
Rewrited php file and edited search form (in first post and in readme file).
For update just replace ajax_search.php

[boandmichele]

max, how would i exclude a specific forum?

[mad@Max]

With new file?
If you want hide some forum from searching: open ajax_search.php, find (0 $excludelist), and after 0 write forum id what you want, like (0,1,2,3,4,158 $excludelist). In next version i will write setting for this.

[Quantnet]

in the new version of js file, there is no definition of var hurl?

perfect! thank you so much!

[boandmichele]

uh oh... now i am getting this error, when i click on a thread which was found via the live search:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /showthread.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[mad@Max]

in the new version of js file, there is no definition of var hurl?
var hurl defined in plugin:)

[mad@Max]

uh oh... now i am getting this error, when i click on a thread which was found via the live search:
If you use cms, type path to your forum into mod settings.

[boandmichele]

If you use cms, type path to your forum into mod settings.

no cms for me. :( any other ideas?

[mad@Max]

May i see on it?

[RobbieZ]

Hey Mad@Max,

Does the search pane have to be on top left of forum ?

What im asking is can you just add it to the original search format already on vbulletin?

eg. When you press search a new window opens.

And when you start typing your ajax live search comes into effect ?

thanks

[mad@Max]

Yes, i did it on some forums:) I was integrate it in search popup menu.

[boandmichele]

May i see on it?
http://www.thefullmailbox.com/forums/

[mad@Max]

You not include js file. All variables in your style is exist.

[boandmichele]

vbulletin_ajax_live_search.js is inside the clientscript folder. is that correct?

[mad@Max]

Yes, but it not included into html. Reinstall mod (first uninstall).

[bonkerspr]

We already install it , but we dont see that the search is not different. No diference, please explain is spomethign more need to be add.

[mad@Max]

May be one or more templates was not parsed. If you still have a problem write me in pm.

[boandmichele]

Yes, but it not included into html. Reinstall mod (first uninstall).

so i need to include the code below somewhere, correct? where do i need to put it? i don't understand what is an 'open search field'.

sorry for all the questions, thank you very much for the rapid and helpful replies. :D

<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">
<div id="tb-searchdiv">
<div id="tb-searchbox"><input type="text" id="search_input" name="query" tabindex="1001" maxlength="128" value="$vbphrase[live_search]" onFocus="if(this.value=='$vbphrase[live_search]'){this.value=''}" onBlur="if (this.value==''){this.value='$vbphrase[live_search]'}" onkeyup="showHint(this.value)" /></div>

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
</div>
</form>

[RobbieZ]

Same question as above about open search!!

There are 4 occurances of <input type="text"

FORUMHOME, navbar, memberlist & SHOWTHREAD

SHOWTHREAD is for searching in that particular thread - so its not there

memberlist is for searching members - so its not there

that leaves you with 2 other options navbar & FORUMHOME which both have <input type="text" which appears twice in the templates.

do I add it to both occurances?

As i want it to integrate it which the original search window.

[mad@Max]

RobbieZ, no, enough that what you include it in navbar:)
boandmichele, no, not parsing lsearch template... in the bottom of navbar templates add this <!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->.

[RobbieZ]

RobbieZ, no, enough that wath you include it in navbar:)

That doesnt make sense.

Do i put the HTML code in the navbar template ?

[mad@Max]

With search code into navbar give you search on all pages.

[RobbieZ]

How do i move this somewhere else on my board ?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/10/30.png

And is there a possibility of having it with fancy curves and graphic like yours ? :D

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/10/31.png

mine looks a bit rubbish compared to yours.....

[mad@Max]

This is a element of my style:)
You can move search form anywhere, but you must know html:)

[RobbieZ]

This is a element of my style:)
You can move search form anywhere, but you must know html:)

Im not too bad with HTML.

This is where i would like it moving too : in the middle of the navbar like this :-

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/10/31.jpg

so it would look like this :



Can you either post the html or tell me where and what template to alter please.

[mad@Max]

I dont know your code and dont know what mods you have.
Search form you may put in header, navbar...

[RobbieZ]

At the moment it is on the left hand side. Is it possible to move it to the center of the forum?

[mad@Max]

This is a simple html:) <div align="center">*search_form*</div> or <center>*search_form*</center>

[maidos]

is it possible you could arrange a similar search result layout like this
http://nodstrum.com/2007/09/19/autocompleter/

also allow us to highlight a keyword from result windows when you just hover ur mouse

[mad@Max]

I saw this. But for this need include jquery. And highlight by mouse hover i can made by myself:D

[maidos]

I saw this. But for this need include jquery. And highlight by mouse hover i can made by myself:D

possible to include that higlight on your next release?

so in order to have that kind of layout result template you need jquery? will you possibly implement it?

[iglobal]

mad@Max, would it be possible for this search engine to support special characters like á or ñ?

[mad@Max]

possible to include that higlight on your next release?

so in order to have that kind of layout result template you need jquery? will you possibly implement it? higlight yes, but to get this view need rewrite all code:(
mad@Max, would it be possible for this search engine to support special characters like ? or ??Yes, tell me your collation connection with mysql, encoding tables and your language:)

[segwayon]

Does Live Search search only within the forum? Or the whole internet? Sorry that I need a basic pointer such as this.

[mad@Max]

Only for forum.

[YsTyle]

great mod :)
i want to change the "live search" to my language,
but when i changes the live_search phrase, nothing changes.
where can i translate it?

[mad@Max]

What you did for translate?

[iglobal]

mad@Max, thanks for your quick reply and interest in helping me!!!
The forum is in Spanish, and the MySQL is in UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

[ForumsMods]

You must change UTF-8 to Latin1 ;)

[CraiovaOnLine]

super mode
10x mate
just one question ...can i set it up to search just within one forum or just within one category ?
10x again

[iglobal]

You must change UTF-8 to Latin1 ;)

Where should I change that?

[mad@Max]

CraiovaOnLine, Yes, add after ". TABLE_PREFIX ."thread.forumid NOT IN (0 $excludelist) this ". TABLE_PREFIX ."thread.forumid IN (1,2,3,4,5,...)
iglobal, above $query = addslashes(trim($_GET['query'])); add $query = iconv('UTF-8', $stylevar['charset'], $query);

[Quantnet]

it seems that the search function works well under the site.com/forum/ but when you move to a different place like site.com/wiki/ and do a search from there, it will return error.

I tried to search in the top level domain site.com/ and it returns something like this

http://www.site.com/ 67.86.193.xxx /ajax_search.php?query=and www.site.com Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) 404 Please contact admin if you can not find the content you are looking for.

This should be easy by using relative path instead of absolute path?

[PoetJA-1975]

Hi MAXIM :)

Actually- I have the 1st version installed at http://JPiCForum.info - it works just fine with vBSEO installed - I've installed the current version on http://DiscussWLS.com - and the it does not work with vBSEO installed. Not only that - but I could not find the edit to make it work on the vBadvanced page. You probably need to clarify the instructions in the download folder.

So my question - Can you make the 1st version upload available for download again please?

Thanx,

Jacquii.

[mad@Max]

OMG. Use lasted version of mod also files.

[Quantnet]

you can find ver 1.2 a few page back. Someone posted it there.

[PoetJA-1975]

Thanx ;)

Jacquii.

[mad@Max]

My mod does't have connection with vbseo:)

[LordNinja]

Found the problem with subdirs like /forum

You should replace:

$vboptions[bburl]

with:

$vbulletin->options[bburl]

on line 78 of ajax_search.php

($vboptions[bburl] return only yourdomain.com while the new var return yourdomain.com/forum or whatever is your full bb url)

I also recommend mad@Max put this line (add before 15th line) on clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_live_search.js:

var hurl=""

then people will easier find what to edit

[mad@Max]

Mod is updated.
I grouped the templates and added another template.
LordNinja
I also recommend mad@Max put this line (add before 15th line) on clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_live_search.js:

For what? Link of your forum get from vb setting. This link get my variable.

[LordNinja]

mad@Max,

i know it. i was talking about 2 different things.

the first one (bburl) is because $vboptions return only [B]the domain, not the full url of the forum, like $vbulletin->options. then search works (results are shown on the float panel) but all result links are to "domain.com/showthread.php" instead "domain.com[B]/forum/showthread.php" then you have a 404 when click it.

the second (the recommendation i made you) is just to make the file edit easier for those who have vBAvanced. example:

var hurl=""
var url=hurl+"ajax_search.php"then people will make you less questions like you read in the first page of this thread :)

nice mod, anyway :)

[mad@Max]

Look, in the main settings vb, while vb installing, you must write path to your main page (like site.com) and to forum (like site.com or site.com/forum), second url get my variable :)
PS if your forum placed in site.com/forum and you set $vbulletin->options[bburl] as site.com, you will get error.

[LordNinja]

Try yourself.

Forum Name: My Site Forums
Forum URL: http://www.mysite.com/forums
Homepage Name: My Site
Homepage URL: http://www.mysite.com

$vbulletin->options[bburl] return http://www.mysite.com/forums
$vboptions[bburl] return http://www.mysite.com

vBulletin 3.7.2

[mad@Max]

So, i rewrite many functions in my mod, but most importantly i got rid of files, now just one product :)
PS Some features i took from Advanced Quick Search - with AJAX by ChangUonDyU .

[Quantnet]

Max, you shouldn't remove the old version files when you update in case people still need the old versions if something breaks.

I'm looking for the old 1.32 version if anyone still have it.

[mad@Max]

Ok, if you need this version, take it. :)

[Quantnet]

thanks max.
Do you know how to get the Thread and Forum on top of your search result?
You can try to do a search at my forum and see it's not like at your forum.

I don't know where do you use lsearch template.

[mad@Max]

Quantnet.org, i advice you to install a new version:)

[Quantnet]

Quantnet.org, i advice you to install a new version:)

I did. It's not working, either using the $lsaform or my own search form. It's not returns any errors or anything. just empty box.

[mad@Max]

Quantnet.org, try comment this string in module Live Search AJAX
// $query = iconv('UTF-8', $stylevar['charset'], $query);

[Quantnet]

It's a no go. Try both.

Try to adjust the window size, location and it doesn't affect at all.

[mad@Max]

Mb this is some conflict, because on clear forum all worked:)

[FiMeTi]

Hi mad@Max. :)

I still use Version 1.0 and it works just sm00th.
Made a few style changes and did not want to update it. ^^

My question: Since this hack makes querrys for searchs, is it not able to abuse this hack? Freaks might use it all the day... even bots?

Thx ;)

[mad@Max]

Yes, hack makes queries, but not large. In any case, the search can be switched off for guests (handly). In next version i will make option for this:)
PS Now you can limit order for the threads output (optional), thus can reduce the load.

[MrZeropage]

Ok, I installed it and want it to make use of the standard-search-box in the navbar-dropdown.

I get it working/searching, but the popup-window is MUCH too large, the settings do not take real effect...

Maybe I did not integrate it correctly in the template ?


in NAVBAR I did replace<input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="25" tabindex="1001" />with<input type="text" class="bginput" id="search_input" name="query" size="25" maxlength="$vboptions[lsa_maxsym]" value="$vbphrase[lsa_live_search]" onfocus="if(this.value=='$vbphrase[lsa_live_search]'){this.value=''}; showHint();" onblur="if (this.value==''){this.value='$vbphrase[lsa_live_search]'}" onkeyup="showHint();" tabindex="1001" />

using vB 3.7.4 PL1

[mad@Max]

Not can be:) Window is resizeable and movable in settings. I just check it, if put live search in default vb search field.

[MrZeropage]

Ok, I am looking forward for your hint :)

[mad@Max]

Can you give me screenshot?

[MrZeropage]

sure - see attached ... working fine in Firefox but not in IE7

(sorry language on screenshot is german)

[nesta1]

hi i see 1 problem!
if you installed on domain/forums/ is fine !
but for subdomains not working and waiting !
for example : forums.mydomain.com/ !! waiting but domain.com/forums/ is working and fine!

[mad@Max]

Please give me refer to your sites to study the problem.

[MrZeropage]

@nesta1:
I am not using subdomains, it is domain/board/
or was your posting not refered to my problem ? ;)

@mad@Max:
I will first try something else on a fresh 3.7.4 and then come back to you...

[mad@Max]

MrZeropage, on fresh board mod is worked...

[MrZeropage]

sorry, but I now tried a new fresh test-vBulletin and it does the same (in IE)

[mad@Max]

Oh, you right, f*cking ie :) Soon will fix it.

[mad@Max]

Version 1.6:
fixed bug of pop-up window in ie and
limit the number of displayed results
group permission
search by your own forums
sort results of search

[MrZeropage]

Thanks alot, but please check the XML, is it not complete english...

[dvbusuario]

Please, translate the .xml in English...

Thank you!

What? :confused:

If it works gonna translate it to polish.

[MrZeropage]

Fine, thanks.

Really fantastic would be a template-adaption so that this complete functionality works within the original navbar-dropdown-menu "search", so typing in the input-field there and having the results below.

Any chance ?

[mad@Max]

I was make that sometime...

[MrZeropage]

looking forward to it, this really would be NICE

[mad@Max]

You may copy and paste template lsa_main bottom (in navbar):
<label for="rb_nb_sp1"><input type="radio" name="showposts" value="1" id="rb_nb_sp1" tabindex="1003" />$vbphrase[show_posts]</label>
</div>
</form>
And in module Live Search Replace comment string
//$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace('<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->', '<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->'.$lscode, $vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);
