What does this modification do?
This modification will allow you to split your thread title into the navbar into searchable components. You have three searchable options at the moment but it can easily be modified. These searchable sites are:
Your forums search engine (default)
Dictionary.com
Google
[size=3]Installation
1/
In showthread.php find:
$navbits[''] = $thread['title'];
ABOVE it place:
// ################################################## ###########################
// START: split thread title into keyword search components
$sites = array(
1 => '<a href="' . $vboptions['bburl'] . '/search.php?q=%1s">%2s</a>',
2 => '<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%1s">%2s</a>',
3 => '<a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=%1s">%2s</a>',
);
// selete the number from above of the site you want to search
$chooseoption = 1;
// get rid of all stupid characters (sacrifice so we don't break the query string
$ttitle = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9\-_\'\s]/i", '', $thread['title']);
// split thread title by any number of commas or space characters
$ttitle = preg_split("/[\s,]+/", $ttitle);
// loop through all words replacing the delimeter with the word
if(is_array($ttitle))
{
foreach($ttitle AS $tword)
{
$twords[] = sprintf($sites["$chooseoption"], $tword, $tword);
}
// get back into a readable title
$thread['title'] = implode(' ', $twords);
}
// END: split thread title into keyword search components
