On the site above you can simply add one by clicking them. can't be hard to make a mod for this :)

edit: also check this site out. Make the Search box appear and click on Mozilla Search Plugins.

You still have to create the .src file, and then simply provide the link to download it and it seems to automatically place the file in the correct folder :)

I'll try to work on something that will let you input your details, create the .src file, and you just link to that for people to download :) We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the link btw ;)

I was looking at how to do this, and everything so far has you editing your registry or adding a registry key.

Im not sure people would go for that or not, but soon as i figure it out i'll have one made up.

much more userfriendly.. the way you want us to install it is too sloppy imho.. make use of the javascript function :cool:

I figured out a nice place to put a link for installing the search engine.

First edit the javascript mentioned above for your site then add a link to it in the headinclude template.
Read the above link and then put this code in the search forums template:

FIND:

Code:

<tr>

        <td class="tcat">

                $vbphrase[search_forums]

        </td>

</tr>

ADD AFTER:

Code:

<if condition="is_browser('firefox')">

<tr>

        <td class="panelsurround" align="center">

        $vbphrase[searchfromfirefox] <a href="javascript:addEngine('filename','ext','description')">Install the |your site name here| search engine!</a>

        <td>

</tr>

</if>

Replace sitename with the filename of the .src and ext with the extension of the 16x16 graphic used (gif or png) *note, the grahic has to have the same name as the .scr file.

You have to add a phrase in the language and phrases admincp menu. Add the phrase name, "searchfromfirefox", and the phrase text: "Want to search the forums from firefox?"

See it at my site : http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/search.php

I'm working on putting it in the search results as well. Will post update when that is done.

here's a link to information on how to do this, but there is already a mod created for this.

Here's the link to the mod that has already been created:

In the search_results template:

FIND:

Code:

<if condition="$displayCommon">

ADD BEFORE:

Code:

<if condition="is_browser('firefox')">

<tr>

        <td class="thead" colspan="$threadcolspan" align="center">

        $vbphrase[searchfromfirefox] <a href="javascript:addEngine('filename','ext','description')">Install the |your site name here| search engine!</a>

        <td>

</tr>

</if>

Thanks Dave. And where is a good place to put the javascript?

Code:

function addEngine(name,ext,cat)

{

        if ((typeof window.sidebar == "object") && (typeof

        window.sidebar.addSearchEngine == "function"))

        {

                window.sidebar.addSearchEngine(

                        "http://www.leo.org/dict/plugins/"+name+".src",

                        "http://www.leo.org/dict/plugins/"+name+"."+ext,

                        name,cat);

                alert('Download completed');

        }

        else

        {

                errorMsg(name,ext,cat);

        }

}

You can put it anywhere, but try the headinclude template

I actually just copied the javascript to blank .txt file and renamed it: addsearchengine.js and uploaded it to a new directory called search_script. First you have to edit the javascript to point to your directory where the .src and .png file are. DON'T change the "+name+"."+ext,name,cat); part, or it won't work. Then in the headinclude file, I added a link to the .js file (just look at the first link to a javascript file and copy that format) Now the javascript will be on each page and if you need to edit it, you just edit the .js file instead of having to edit the headinclude template. It's also advisable to avoid editing the headinclude template as much as possible if you think you will ever use vbSEO.
