Hello guys,
Here I am with another question.
I have an mobiles forum (Android Phones Forum) and I would like to add a search bar next to the default search bar to search for different devices.
And I would like to enter the Specs too on the top of every device's forum so for example if a user search for Samsung Galaxy S 5 it show suggestions and when user click on Samsung Galaxy S 5 it take it to the S 5 forum and show the device specs too like as the CPU, Model Number, Battery type, Size ecc.......
So Please provide me the code and if you need any other info about my question I'm here to answer you but the condition is you will help me with this :P
Thanks in Advance.

You need to post this either in the "Request for Paid Services forum", or in the "Modification Requests / Questions Unpaid forum". Thank you. :)

What content would this search bar search?

You can add HTML or PHP widgets on the forum pages & use that to display specifications.

It should show the devices for example:
if somebody write in the serache box "Galaxy S4" then the search box highlight results like as "Samsung Galaxy S4" and only if the user click on the Samsung Galaxy S4 highlited result then it take the user to the s4 forum and show the device specs too. But it shoud not show the device specs if the user click on s4 forum browsing the main board.
I don't want to show the specs block forever but only if someone search for a specific device then it should show the specs block of that device otherwise not.

Stopping here for a moment. What results are being displayed? Posts? Threads? Channels? Something else entirely that isn't currently tracked by the software?

There's also an implicit requirement here to translate "Galaxy S4" to "Samsung Galaxy S4". Are you also looking to track synonyms?

What happens if the user types "Galaxy S4" into the normal search box? How is that experience different?

and only if the user click on the Samsung Galaxy S4 highlited result then it take the user to the s4 forum and show the device specs too.

Stopping here for a moment. So, now you've created another search box that brings back results that take you to a predefined channel. How is this better for the user than just clicking the channel link on the forum main page? It seems like it's a few extra steps.

But it shoud not show the device specs if the user click on s4 forum browsing the main board.
I don't want to show the specs block forever but only if someone search for a specific device then it should show the specs block of that device otherwise not.

Displaying content based on a clickpath is possible, but it's rarely ever a good idea. If a subset of your users would find the information helpful, why not all of them? Put it in the sidebar (which is probably where it belongs) and show it by default.

Hey,
Sorry for delay.
Well OK but can you please provide me a code or a mod which let me insert the device picture too so on the left side there will be the device picture and infront of device picture so on the right side there will be the device Description and Specs editable.
I want that block expandable so it will stay hidden by default and if a user want to see it than he will click the + button to see the device specs.
Here's an example (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5)
Thank you soo much:)

You wait 11 days to reply, then bump your post? :)

No "Bumping" (Your threads/posts): Please do not repeatedly bump your threads to try and get attention. Most members of the site are not online 24 hours a day and so will not see your post the instant it is made. Do not bump a thread within 24 hours, and not more than twice a week.

Xda uses an entirely custom system. The closest thing you are going to get is a modification that handles reviews. You'll still have to manually put in all of the phone data though.

I ask sorry for "Bump".
Yeah i just need a mod (free please :P) that can add these things and after that i will manually add the device specs so the resolution, CPU ecc...
Can it be made?

You're very unlikely to get a modification like that made for free, in my opinion. To create something like that is quite complex, and I can't imagine anyone's going to spend many hours coding it for you free of charge.

Probably best off making a Paid Services Request in the appropriate forum.

I don't even think anyone has made a product review system for vb5. So yeah, good luck with that one.

The system I use here: http://cellphoneforums.net/phone-database is entirely custom, but it's vb4 and needs to be fixed.

Use Sitebuilder to add an HTML module to the page, and add your specs there.
