Mods can search users by email address

[Spinball]

My mods have requested the ability to search for users by email address.
Useful if they want to find people from a particular organisation who are using real email addresses.
It's an easy hack requiring 1 file edit. Nothing fancy, but useful results.

Got this problem from 1 of my mods

was in the mod control panel a few mins ago and decided to try this email search function out.

i entered my email address into the field and left the username field blank. I got the following message

Please Complete All Required Fields.

If I put in a username it seemed to ignore the fact that an email address had been entered.

[Spinball]

Well it works perfectly for me so I can only think you implemented the hack wrongly.
The line
if (empty($findname) and empty($findemail))
ensures that the 'please complete required fields' message only happens if both the name and email address are empty.

It looks alright. Sorry, I'm stumped, then :(

[Godzilla MR2]

ya, I get the same thing. Please Complete All Required Fields.

Maybe a better coder than me could look into this?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You are missing 1 edit.

Find in the modcp/user.php:
globalize($_REQUEST, array('findname' => STR_NOHTML, 'exact'));


and REPLACE with:
globalize($_REQUEST, array('findname' => STR_NOHTML, 'findemail' => STR_NOHTML, 'exact'));

I am running ver 3.0.7 and my User.php is very different. Will there be revised mod for this version?

Thanks in advance.

[Spinball]

Thanks MarcoH64.
YLP1, it takes me a whole day to upgrade vB to a new version so when they released 3.0.6 and 3.0.7 so quickly after 3.0.5 I got a bit fed up with the vB team. So I'm still at 3.0.6.
When I can be bothered to go to 3.0.7 I will have to revisit this hack, I guess.

Thanks in advance.There is exactly 1 line (a bit) different between 3.0.6 and 3.0.7

[Watson]

Cheers guys :)

[Spinball]

Just (finally!) got round to updating this hack now I have upgraded our board.
Tested with 3.0.7 and it works fine.

[Megareus Rex]

Excellent hack. Glad to have it.

[mma365]

Will this work with 3.6?

[Spinball]

No I think it requires a tweak.
I don't know how to work the new plugin system so I haven't updated this.
