Extended! Useful Admin Stuff

[shovel]

Yeah! Alright!
Extended! Useful Admin Stuff
*wikka-wikka* coooool

Hello, hello!
I'm here again with another great innovation from the "shovel factory/powerhouse" (man I love that). Anyways, it's an extension of the 'Useful Admin Stuff' panal in your AdminCP (which I must say, is very messy coding). In this hack I've integrated Google Search, Yahoo Search (just incase Google isn't working....), and vBulletin.com Search. Also, I've made some pretty useful links on the current exsisting and new titles. Not to mention I made the buttons look a whole lot easier to read. See for yourself (screen in post below). Well, that's all, I hope you like it cause...I.....do.

Update #1: vBulletin.org Query Form Added
Update #2: Individual Forum Search For vB.org & vB.com Underway
Update #3: Added Special Thanks To Chris & Bob!
Update #4: vBulletin.com BETA Query Form Added
Update #5: vBulletin.com Query Form Declared Bug-Free

[shovel]

Here's the pretty screen...

[Boofo]

Not bad. Any way to add the search for vb.org? I tried but could not get it working. It would only take me to the search page here.

[Chris M]

@Boofo - Try:

<form action="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php" method="post" target="_blank">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="simplesearch" />
<input type="hidden" name="forumchoice" value="-1" />
<input type="hidden" name="titleonly" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="showposts" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="searchdate" value="-1" />
<input type="hidden" name="beforeafter" value="after" />
<input type="hidden" name="sortby" value="title" />
<input type="hidden" name="sortorder" value="descending" />
<tr class="secondalt">
<td><a href="http://www.vbulletin.org/" target="_blank">vBulletin.org Search</a></td>
<td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="30"> <span id="submitrow"><input type="submit" value="vB.org"></span></td>
</tr>
</form>

:)

Edit: Updated to correct code:)

Satan

[Boofo]

All I get is the error "Sorry - no matches found. Please try some different terms."

[Chris M]

Right I figured it;)

Updated above post:)

Satan

[Boofo]

Now the page just goes blank when I submit a search. ;)

[Chris M]

Not for me:eek:

Satan

[Boofo]

Then you must have a magic board. ;)

[shovel]

Lol. Ok, I'll work it. :)

[Chris M]

@Boofo - It seriously does work:)

I updated my code to include a dropbox for vB.org forums:

[Dan]

Interesting....

[Chris M]

@Boofo - I don't see how it cannot:(

Satan

[shovel]

Ok, here's the code for vB.org queries...

<form action="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="">
<tr class="secondalt">
<td><a href="http://www.vbulletin.org/" target="_blank">vBulletin.org Search</a></td>

</tr>
</form>

This will work. :) Also, hellsatan, I'll continue with that idea of search individual forums on vB.org. Thanks!

UPDATED!

[Chris M]

No problems;)

Now my board may be strange, because I tried that code above before (after making it myself on my 2nd attempt), and it did not work:confused:

Oh - And you missed off the "Go" button;):)

Satan

[shovel]

Oh, whoops. Lol. Thanks. :)

EDIT: Fixed!

[Boofo]

That doesn't make it work for me, no matter how it works for you. Sorry.

Retry. I messed up with the hyperlink. I updated the above coding. :) Sorry!!

[Boofo]

Same thing. Just takes me to the search page at vb.org.

No kidding with 1 user and no guests :confused:

I tried all the variations of the vb.org search and the only one that at least gets me to the vb.org site is the one inside the install file. All of HS's versions takes me to a blank page. :paranoid:

[Chris M]

It flucctuates;)

And Fi_InCogNiTo - Try what I posted - Does that work for you?

Satan

[Boofo]

Aha! So it isn't Boofo's messed up board causing this. Isn't that strange? :p ;)

[Chris M]

Maybe it is, and someone else has an equally messed up board;):p

Satan

[yxboom]

Hey I resemble that remark

[Boofo]

What are the chances? Not very good, I think. ;)

[Link14716]

I have an idea... take the code for the vb.com search and just change the .com to .org ;)

LOL Already tried that a while ago, This:

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />


is what messes that idea up. vB3 does it different than any vB2.x.x does.

[Chris M]

I am sure that if you changed "do" to "action" and "process" to "simplesearch" (what I did) it would work;)

Satan

[Mony@k]

Absolutly useless hack...

[shovel]

Considering the fact that you don't look like the "normal" licensed user nor are a hacker. Therefore your opinion is desregarded in my thread so why don't you scurry on over to the Testing Zone (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=25) where you and all your "wannabe" buddies hangout. :)

@ Everyone Else: I'm currently reinstalling my server so give me awhile and I'll have this figured out. Trust me.

[Chris M]

Ok dude;) But as demonstrated, it already works for me - These crazy guys with their wackey sites:p

Maybe you can find something new for another version? Like a "search.php" in admin, where you can search for specific stuff on vB.org / vB.com etc;)

Satan

[yxboom]

My site is only wacky from installing all of Boofo's hacks ;)

[Boofo]

There's a remedy for that. It's called un-installing. :p

Yeah, like searching for specific words on pages. :)

[Boofo]

I found the fix! Play with it long enough and it usually works out. ;) The following code works for vb.org:

<form action="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php" method="post" name="vbform" target="_blank">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]">
<input type="hidden" name="forumchoice" value="-1">

<input type="hidden" name="searchdate" value="-1">

Sweet! it looks good!

@Boofo - Um thats what I posted with a little bit less pre-defined data:

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="simplesearch" />

:)

@csidlernet - Thanks:)

Satan

[Boofo]

And that's why it worked. For some reason, it doesn't need all the pre-definitions that you had there. They were interfering with it. Actually, I used the definitions filburt has in his forumhome quick search hack and that worked.

And you didn't have the $session[sessionhash] in yours.

[Chris M]

Oh...

Because I don't use sessionhash;):p

Fair enough - I was just trying to make it more accurate;)

Satan

[Boofo]

More accurate is great if it works. Thanks for trying though. It gave me a place to start.

[Chris M]

Yeh....I think shovel is gonna do some kind of page where you can search more accurately, pretty much like the vB.org search page only on your site;)

Satan

[yxboom]

W00t!

Boofo the code worked. I can now set my control panel as my home page ;)

[WEForums]

Strange how you guys get blank pages. Just so hellsatan doesn't go crazy it also works for my admin panel. Great work, hellsatan. Makes searching a lot easier. Kudos.

I was sure I am crazy, but I was sure that it worked nevertheless:D

Maybe it is because of certain hacks they have installed and we have not?:)

That's probably the case. That is the first edit in that part of the /admin/index.php file ever, so that could be it.

[FWF]

wow, this is an awesome hack...and easy to install for n00bs like me :)

I'm telling you Bob you were definately staring at that screen for too long:p

So I did make viable code:D:p

Satan

[Boofo]

Now I'm curious as to what changed on my end to make it work. It did not work before, all I got was a blank screen or the vb.org search page. And I haven't changed anything at all in the admin/index.php. :surprised:

[Chris M]

Maybe your host did an upgrade of something and for some reason it worked:eek:

Satan

[Boofo]

The only change I noticed is this: MySQL v4.0.12, which was done over 5 days ago and should have nothing to do with searching vb.org. I don't know, but it's working, that's all that matters. ;)

Tested:)

You need a search field;):p

[Chris M]

2 corrections:)

<form action="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/search.php" method="post" name="vbform">
should be:
<form action="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/search.php" method="post" name="vbform" target="_blank">
<td><type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="30" value="" tabindex="1" />&nbsp;<select name="forumchoice[]" tabindex="3">
should be:
<td><input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="30" value="" tabindex="1" />&nbsp;<select name="forumchoice[]" tabindex="3">
You missed the input in input type;)

Thanks WEF. :)

I've made a couple of useful (to me, anyway) tweaks for this hack. If you replace:

<td><a href="http://www.vbulletin.org/" target="_blank">vBulletin.org Search</a></td>

with:

<td><a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getnew"" target="_blank">vBulletin.org Search</a></td>

and replace:

<td><a href="http://www.vbulletin.com/" target="_blank">vBulletin.com Search</a></td>

with:

<td><a href="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew" target="_blank">vBulletin.com Search</a></td>

you can search for any new posts by just clicking on the link.

[shovel]

Oh that's neat. Thanks Bob. :)

[Chris M]

Nice idea Bob, but I removed the links on mine due to the fact that IMO it looks too clustered...

What I might do, is add 3 links at the bottom of the table saying "Get New Posts", 2 with the ones you put above, and one with:

<a href="$bburl/search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getnew" target="_blank">$bbtitle Search</a>
:)

What do you mean "too clustered"? By doing it that way, you just make the words into a link. Clustered would be more like adding 3 more links than needed. And one of those links is for vbulletin.com. You won't get anything by doing "&action=getnew" on vb3, you have to use "?do=getnew". I got it straight off of their site.

[Chris M]

I know Boofo me old plum - I forgot to change the name of the Search;):p

And I didn't like the large mass of links - It makes it look clustered;)

Yeah, with the new vB3 comes the removal of all those action loops. Finally!!

well i gotta get some php books now :)

btw im thinking about using this but is there a way to posibly get the forums auto and not have it in the source i doubt it posibile but i dont know much about php

[Chris M]

If you wanted to get the forums automatically entered for your own site, it is possible, but other sites you cannot (to my knowledge:()

Satan

[shovel]

No, but I'm looking at trying to search a given url for keywords using maybe JScript or PHP.
