Installed!

The only thing, I prefer the google box under the blog search one. I changed the Navbar hook to "global_setup_complete" and its execution order to 7 in my board to acomplish it; works like a charm ;)

Yes, this is just allowing one part of Google to work with your AdSence account. Once you approve ads will show up in your search results.

Very nice mod, works perfectly here

May I suggest a possibilty to add

1) various versions of custom search engines
2) titles to the search engines.

I figured out my problem, which was actually my Host's technocal problem. Everything is working for me now. Princeton, excellent MOD.

Been testing this on my devforum and the auto-template edits aren't working correctly with our custom style, is it possible to disable them and manually make edits?

Princeton

11-08-2007 02:57 PM

your styles are not up to date .. make sure $template_hook['navbar_search_menu'] exists in your search menu html

This was my problem as well. I placed the hook where it should be and now the search bar shows up without hard coding.

Thanks :)

I place a Google AdSense advertisement in the footer of my style and centered it and it shows as centered on all pages but the gtsearch template. On the search results page it is to the left. Any ideas why this is so and how to center it on this page?

Princeton

11-08-2007 07:10 PM

you cannot show adsense ads on the Google CSE page .. I believe it's against their TOS.

NFLfbJunkie

11-08-2007 07:17 PM

Is there a way for it to not show on the CSE page and only on the rest of my forum's pages?

11-08-2007 07:19 PM

So we can't have AdSense and the search engine on the same forum?

MrNase

11-08-2007 07:46 PM

MOTM! ;)

The only thing is that I have problems with are German umlauts. Whenever I use a word with an umlaut, Google doesn't find the word no matter what encoding I select.

the CSE is on it's own page .. just make sure no adsense ads appear on the same page as the results - you make money by associating your CSE with your Adsense account

did you set your CSE "Search Engine Language" to German??

Princeton, in what template does the conditional "THIS_SCRIPT!='gtsearch'" get put, and where exactly in the template?

I'm confused - I've just checked my templates and this doesn't appear in any template in the default style which is completely unmodified and I'm running a fully patched 3.6.8 version of vBulletin?

(ETA)

Just found it - no idea why but a cut and paste from the post didn't find it ("$template_hook[navbar_search_menu]") - Just checked and it is in my styles.

I just did this last night. What you will have to do is wrap your adsence code like this

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT!='gtsearch'">

<center>

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

google_ad_client = "*********";

google_ad_width = 728;

google_ad_height = 15;

google_ad_format = "728x15_0ads_al_s";

google_ad_channel = "";

google_color_border = "cdcddc";

google_color_bg = "cdcddc";

google_color_link = "0000FF";

google_color_text = "000000";

google_color_url = "008000";

//-->

</script>

<script type="text/javascript"

  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

</script>

</center>

</if>

This will make it display on all pages except the search result page (gtsearch). If you are using an ad management plugin you will have to find out how they insert the info into the template and edit at that point to include the <if> statement.

Apologies = I didn't mean to sound so critical of the hack AND yes - I certainly appreciate it when coders, designers, etc... shares their lovely works with the vB Community ;)

When the search results come up, the "Can't find what you are looking for? Try football or our Advanced Search." phrase shows above the search results. Why does 'Advanced Search' show when that takes the user to the forum search area and doesn't allow for additional web page searching?

djr	11-10-2007 01:11 AM

Excellent hack Princeton. Flawless install and was up and running in 'bout 5 minutes. Thanks so much for sharing this.

jGas	11-10-2007 09:33 AM

that's great!! installed and nominated for motm.. adsense for search never worked on my site..let's see if it works with this wonderful hack! ;)

jGas	11-10-2007 11:12 AM

i have disabled the search for guests..is it possibile to enable GTSearch for them? when i'm logged out there isn't the "search" link so guests can't see gtsearch!

I follow the instruction but it doesn't shows up on my navbar.

Can I add it manually?

Well, German Umlauts suck anyway. :D I simply told my users not to use them and it's running fine. ;)

My members seem to like it but I need to promote it better:

How can I remove the "Can't find what you are looking for? Try xxx or our Advanced Search" phrase from the gtsearch page?

abg	11-18-2007 12:19 AM

could not get it to work for search in non-latin characters - it would return empty set of results. it does not say 'did not mach any documents', but instead just shows a page with forum header and footer and nothing in between. any ideas as to what can be wrong are greatly appreciated.

jGas	11-18-2007 11:35 AM

is it possible to enable gt search only for guests and vb search only for registered users?
thanks :D

yes it's possible .. you will need to edit the "IF" statement in global_start plugin to show to guests only eg. " AND $show['guests']

pgb	11-20-2007 05:21 PM

The google logo in the search drop down box is showing up as a broken image. Any ideas?

It's looking for http://www.google.com/images/powered...poweredby_.gif

Installed and thanks for this great mod. One question:
Could you provide me the code that I need to put in my header, in order to make the search option appear? I have a custom style
