[OzzModz] Extended Search Links In Navbar

[ozzy47]

[SIZE=2]Another mod brought to you by,
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2015/01/1.png

This is a cool little addon that will add some good search links in the navbar for you and your members to use.

This can be really useful to you as a admin, and to your mods, to see if there is any unanswered threads on your site that need attention.

Note: As of now this is only compatible with vB version 4.2.0 and above (which has the Navigation Manager). If there is enough requests for it, I will see about making it compatible with all v4.x

It is a simple installation, just import the product XML, product-ozzy_extended_search Or if you want the links to show up on the Forum Tab, and the What's New Tab, import the product XML, product-ozzy_extended_search_2

You can edit the options under the settings, [B]Ozzy: Extended Search Links Settings


Possible links to show your members

Link that searches for all their threads.
Link that searches for all their posts.
Link that searches for all their threads, in a forum, if they are in that forum.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

v1.0.1 Fixed a issue with some sites getting a error about adding more constraints to your search.

[fleshy66]

Cool mod. Just installed and the menu comes up with an error in it.

[ozzy47]

I see some of the navigation items did not get exported for some reason, stand by, and I will see what is gong on.

[ozzy47]

Cool mod. Just installed and the menu comes up with an error in it.

Ok I think I got it sorted, uninstall the mod, and re install with the new XML.

[fleshy66]

That fixed the links "View my threads" and "View my posts" but when I click them now it comes up with this.
Please add more constraints to your search. Searches that return all or most of the database are a bad idea.

[ozzy47]

Hmmm, I don't get that on my dev board, can you try from your profile page, clicking on the Find latest posts and Find latest started threads links, as it uses the same type of links.

[fleshy66]

Yeah thats the first thing I did. Works fine from the profile.

[ozzy47]

Hmmm, ok can you go to the Navigation Manager, click on the Forum Tab, scroll down till you see, View My Threads (Link) edit that, and then in the field, Target URL, change what is there to this:

search.php?{session.sessionurl}do=finduser&userid= {session.userid}&starteronly=1&contenttype=vBForum _ThreadThen see if you get the same results.

[fleshy66]

That just fixed the View My Threads parts.Works well by the way.
The error still comes up in View My Posts still.
Thanks.

Ok thanks to fleshy66 testing I will update this later today when I get home in order to stop those errors. I will send out a update notice when this has been done.

So keep a eye out for the notice. :)

[fleshy66]

Will do, cheers mate :)

[ozzy47]

Ok the new XML should solve the issues, thank guys for being patient. :)

[fleshy66]

Thanks ozzy, working well now.

[ozzy47]

Thanks, glad to hear the kinks are finally worked out. :)

[DemOnstar]

Another Ozmod..... Great stuff lad, keep it up...

[ozzy47]

Thanks, glad ya like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[mitch84]

hi, can you add a option for exclude some forums ? because i use a rss forum (and this section is only read)and all topics are listed (+2000!)
And members do not have the permission to see some forums will not see certain topics? Because I see that you can select groups, this replaces the forum permissions or groups?
thx

[CharlieDelta]

Another GREAT addon Ozzy! I will install this mod when I return from holidays.

[ozzy47]

Cool, glad ya like it, if you should install it, please don't forget to mark it as such.:)

[smirkley]

nice one

[ozzy47]

Thanks, glad ya like it. Thanks for marking as installed. :)

[Ragman68]

a very useful mod for my forum, thanks ozzy47

[ozzy47]

Not a problem. Glad you found it useful, and thanks for marking it as installed. :)

[Ragman68]

Hi Ozzy, thanks for your reply, I just wondered if it would it be possible for the 'my search links' link to also show on the 'whats new' page?, the reason I ask is when you select from the drop down menu it will take you to the 'whats new' page with your selection however you then have to go back to the home page to select another option from that menu

[ozzy47]

Try this XML.

That should also add the links to the what's new page.

EDIT: added the XML to the first post.

[tbworld]

Nice addition @Ozzy47, should help a ton of users. Your on fire! :)

[ozzy47]

Thanks, I try and post the things I have done over the years as template edits, but turn them into a product. :)

[tbworld]

These small mods you are making -- as-you-know -- are what vb users ask for all the time. Makes my job here easy. :)

[jjohns12]

Great Mod Thank You!

[ozzy47]

Your welcome, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[djbaxter]

Not sure I have a need for this personally but I just wanted to applaud all the hard work you've been doing lately. It's nice to see coders getting active again on this site.

[ozzy47]

Thanks, I am just trying to introduce new life here, and perhaps get some of the coders to get active again. :)

[djbaxter]

Well, you have become almost a one man show, along with BOP5. :)

It is appreciated.

[smirkley]

Well, you have become almost a one man show, along with BOP5. :)


Isnt that a TWO man show then?

;)

But yes, it is very much appreciated by many.
Especially to those that dont patronise overly copyrighted corporate modifications, like me.

[ozzy47]

I know some people don't like, copyrighted corporate modifications, that is why I am releasing smaller mods under my own name, rather than under DBTech, I still release stuff there, just more involved mods. :)

[BrianP]

Thank you very much for an easy to install plug in which works perfectly.:up:

[ozzy47]

Thanks, glad ya like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[mustangguy1230]

Great mod! Love it!

[ozzy47]

Thanks, glad you found it useful, thanks for marking as installed. :)

[qpurser]

Thanks for this mod.
Everything works fine besides the option "view my threads this forum only".
It shows "no matches" even when I had tons of threads/postings in that particular forum.

What could be wrong?

If you PM me a full admin account, and a link to the site, I can look into it.

Hi Chris, thanks for this mod, works very well, and very happy with it. Just wanted to know if there was someway you would be able to duplicate the drop down menu on another navbar tab. Basically i have put it under the Activity Stream Navbar, and would like to put it on my Forum tab as well.
I see on page 2 of this thread, Post 25 and 26 you were able to duplicate it in whats new page. Thought that mught work for me so uninstalled and went for the newer xml file, unfortunately this still did not help. Any suggestion would be appreciated

I'll take a look as soon as I have a chance, I am a bit backlogged at the moment. :)

Actually download the product-ozzy_extended_search_2 XML, from the first post, and it will show in both the What's New Tab, and the Forum Tab..

[Bob_R]

My What's New tab goes straight to the Activity Stream. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

[ozzy47]

That's what the tab is supposed to do. Once there you can access the links from this mod in the My Links menu.

[Bob_R]

Oh, OK I see. Thanks!

[ozzy47]

Not a problem. :)

[MySaltyreef]

Thank you so much Chris. It now seems to be working perfectly now.

[ozzy47]

Cool, glad it is the way you wanted now. :)

[New Joe]

Who is Chris?

[ozzy47]

That's me. :)

[New Joe]

Ok, I thought you were ozzy47, my mistake Chris.....

[ozzy47]

Yeah my username is ozzy47, but real name is Chris.

[meissenation]

Works great - thanks!

[meissenation]

Something doesn't seem to be jiving for my links --

Here's my settings versus what's actually showing up. I confirmed that it's really doing a search for Unanswered threads, not unread - thought maybe it was just a phrase mismatch. For the permissions section above the screenshot, I have all of the usergroups checked except for Unregistered / Not Logged In, Users Awaiting Email Validation, and my Banned user group.

Agreed! Does the job and fulfills it's purpose. Splendid!
And the chap is available and helpful in many areas. Qualitaire! Not sure if that is a word but it does allow me the space to sound posh. Possibly educated? :D

[mariannet]

Love it!
I have a forum with welcome posts for each new user.
They all show up with no reply.
Is there any way to exclude forums from the listings?

[ozzy47]

You could edit the links in the Navigation Manager and add, &exclude=X,Y,Z onto the end of the url.

Where X,Y,Z are the ID's of the forums you want to exclude. :)

[mariannet]

Thank you - it worked!
I will now stay away from here for the rest of the day - my brain has gone on Holiday :)

[ozzy47]

LOL, not a problem, glad it worked for you. :)

[Mellow]

Great mod!... working well in 4.2.2.

Is there a tweak to show the My Posts in a thread list format. I had that from an old mod but can't find it anymore. I've tried messing around with the content= and showposts= but nothing seems to work.

Basically, if you go to advanced search and try to search for your posts but show them as threads - that's what I'd like.

Thanks!

[ozzy47]

Not exactly sure what you mean, can you post a screenshot.

[RichieBoy67]

Well done Ozzy! I love all the permissions you added directly to the mod to save everyone from having to go into each usergroup to change them. Actually nice that you even added those permissions at all. Nice man!

[ozzy47]

Thanks, glad ya like how it's set up. :)

[Mellow]

Not exactly sure what you mean, can you post a screenshot.

Sure, if you go to the single content search and look for one user then show the results as threads:

The result show the most recent threads that you participated in - basically, 'my replies' in a thread list. I had this before but can't find where I found it and had to revert the navbar for 4.2.2 so I lost it.

[ccmoon]

thanks Ozzy! works good on 4.2.2

[Mellow]

Got it, here's the code that will show a thread listing of threads you're replied to in order:

search.php?{session.sessionurl}do=finduser&userid= {session.userid}&starteronly=0&contenttype=vB Forum_Thread

Glad you figured it out, and thanks for sharing the solution. :)

[postcd]

Hello, when im in certain subforum, i want to filter out only my topics. Does this mod do this or which mod do this? Thank you

[stevieb]

Works great on vB 4.2.2 (p1) and easy to customise/change names by going into Navigation manager.

Thanks - great mod :)

[ozzy47]

Glad you like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[Black Snow]

Tagged for installation in a few hours. Nominated as it's a mod I've been waiting for! Thanks

[Black Snow]

Is there any chance that "Excluded Forums" could be added to this mod? I am using your Welcome Thread mod for new members and when I use this mod, all the new member threads show up if there are no replies. An option to exclude forums would help a lot.

[LordVader!]

Awesome again; dude your mods are amazing!
Installed, marked and waiting for new nice stuff ;)

[pjkcards]

When I click on "View My Threads", I get this error (using search_2) on 4.2.2:
Fatal error: Call to a member function allow_icons() on a non-object in /home/user/public_html/domain/forum/vb/legacy/thread.php on line 225

[ozzy47]

There is no such function in my mod. Try disabling other mods one at a time till you find out which one is causing the issue. :)

[pjkcards]

The issue arouse when I click "View My Threads" in the mod. How can I replicate the issue with your mod disabled?

Thanks.

[ozzy47]

This way.

1 is your user id #

[I.G.O.T.A.]

Installed search.xml as search 2.xml was not working correctly on 4.2.2. When I would hit today's post the search links would still come up after being deactivated in the navigation manager.

Search.xml is working correctly. Thank you.
