The only real advantage my hack has is that it provides more search control, such as only showing recent posts in selected forums.

You should be able to exclude, or only look at one specific forum as well

forumid=X
exclode=X,Y,Z

Thanks for the tip Zachery. I tried these and they work fine. For example:

search.php?do=getdaily&days=30&forumid=26
search.php?do=getdaily&days=30&exclude=28,29

Specifying the forumid will also include children, which is nice. This would allow adding buttons to do specific searches such as "Last Month for Forum X" or "Last Week for Category Y", but does not provide the flexibility of being able to do "Last X Days" searches from the Advanced Search form. With the hack described in this thread, you can select any combination of forums (thanks to the great new search features in vb 3) and then view all the posts from the last x days in those forums. You can also list the results by posts, which I don't think is possible with getdaily.

Related to this topic, it seems that whenever you run a search using "getdaily", the Search Results web page always says:

Search: Posts From Last Day

Regardless of the number of days you specify. Not a big deal, but it would be nice if it listed the number of days used in the search.

The simplicity of this hack is near algorithmic poetry. I salute you for finding this gem!!!

Bravo, and thank you!

So simple, but so useful - qualities of a great hack. Should be included in future versions. I've also added the optional enhancements. It works like a charm.

Like some posters said, this feature is built into vB - you just need to add the template mod described above - no hack needed. :)

Thanks so much for posting this. This is exactly the way I need the advanced search in my forum to work. Unfortunately, when I modify the search.php file as described, searching operates just as before--still returning the error if 'key word' and 'user name' fields are left blank.:confused:

This is the code I found in my search.php file:

Code:

// error if no search terms

        if (empty($vbulletin->GPC['query']) AND empty($vbulletin->GPC['searchuser']) AND empty($vbulletin->GPC['replyless']))

and this is what I changed it to:

Code:

// error if no search terms

        if (empty($vbulletin->GPC['query']) AND empty($vbulletin->GPC['searchuser']) AND

empty($vbulletin->GPC['searchdate == 0']) AND empty($vbulletin->GPC['replyless']))

I'm running vBulletin 3.6.4 btw.

Is there some other setting I need to change? Thanks.

I see my mistake. I need to remove the "empty" command in front of the 'searchdate' pointer. All is OK now.
