From the install file in this thread:

And here is your Forum Tools link, since you really can't live without it. ;)

Wow man. I was in the middle of tracking all this down and you beat me to it :). Everything works like a charm. The only thing I did differently was remove all the

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(5, 6, 7))">

...stuff because I wanted this available to everyone (one of the first things I do when surfing other boards is look for zero-reply topics in hopes of finding a way to jump in; I'm probably not the only one).

Anyway, thanks a lot. Nice little hack indeed. :cool:

Did the semi-colon fix do what you wanted?

lol, yep, it worked. Sorry to sound nitpicky on that. Like I said, it was trivial yet annoying. I'm just not quite familiar enough with the different templates yet to have tracked that down efficiently.

Thanks again.

All I did was do a template search for Key Word(s) and found it in one of the search templates and went from there. ;)

Thanks for the semi-colon fix Boofo.. :)

You're very welcome, sir. ;)

Guys, a hand here, i need some help to filter out some forums from the query, i want to open the search to all users but dont want them to see some admin/moderator specific posts.

Help appreciated

The install file tells you how to have just certain forums selected.

You might want to click the install button in case there are ever any updates to this hack.

Boofo, I just clicked install, but I've only used template changes, and did not change the search.php file. Are there any advantages to editing search.php?

Without the code added to the search.php, the template edits won't work right. ;)

In what way?

I've done the quick links template edit and the forum tools template edit, and they return unanswered posts.

The code for the serrch.php is the basis of the hack. You won't get ALL unanswered posts doing it with only template edits.

Is there a way to modify the search so that only threads from the last x hours or x days are considered? My database is so huge searching the whole shebang takes several seconds.

Thanks!

I add this to the end of the link "&searchdate=7" to restrict it to one week.

i want to use this mod :)
is there a way to ignore some forums ?? using this

like i am running a technology board. and there is a fun/entertainment forum too
i do not want unanswered threads from that forums appear.

is it possible :)
if yes, i will go ahead.

thnx.
Sandy...

Check the install file. It will allow you to also set it up as you requested.

Don't forget to click install when you are done. ;)

just wondering this is my long code ;)
nice hack JUST CLICKED install :)

Search: Unanswered Threads -- Forum: Introduce Yourself or Ebooks or Games or Internet or Networking and Security or WWW or Processors & Motherboards or Graphics / Video Cards or Overclocking & PC Modding or Components or Portable Devices or Applications in General or Operating Systems or Coding/Programming & Design or Tips, Tweaks and Hacks or GUI-Modding, Desktop Themes, Icons etc or Tutorials or Reviews

Im getting this:


Any ideas where I messed up?

In almost a month nobody can help me out here?

Thanks Boofo....... install is clicked :laugh:

Nice work Boofo.

[high]* Intex clicks INSTALL.[/high]

A simple yet very useful hack, thanks for this one Boofo :)

Excellent - Thanks Boofo!

OK I must have done something wrong because I am getting red lines under my unanswered posts. Anyone care to help a woman out LOL

Is this hack ready for vb 3.0.6? Cause this would be an awesome addition to my board.

Using this in 3.0.7, the Unanswered Threads text appears in searches when it shouldn't..

For example, when searching for a word in a single forum (Search this Forum) the search text displays:
Search: Key Word(s): test Unanswered Threads -- Forum: General Chat and child forums

Is it full 3.0.7 compatible?

Wow! A hack to view unanswered threads... Did anybody show this to the mods at vB.com? LOL :nervous: (...the preceding was a corny joke...)

is there a way to exclude forums from a search? my mods mostly use the link on the forumhome display, but it also grabs our "news" forums which isn't needed...

any idea's without having to list all 100+ forums in the search string?

AFTERTHOUGHT: even better would be to exclude just 2 users from the search (the two admins)

How to exclude Closed Topics?

Can this hack exclude forums? I found this hack that allow us to exclude forums.

New to installing hacks first one actually. Is this compatible with VB 3.0.7 As I have looked for

// check our results and decide what to do
switch ($highScore)
{

in search.php and do not see it anywhere.

Would be great if someone could kindly update this to work with 3.0.7 :ermm:

Your link provides nice information but this hack really does something else:

But maybe it's a temporary solution.


I can't understand. SO MANY CODERS, and nobody can (of will) make such a hack?

The link ice9 provided works great! Nothing 'temporary' about it. You simply make a button and add the search url to it and then it will tell you which posts have been unanswered. The only thing it can't do, that I'm aware of, is to exclude certain forums. Other then that it's the same as the hack :) I for one really appreciate ices link :)

Re-read the link I've posted. Any search that can be performed via the search function can be hard-coded with a link. Feel free to check out the site in my profile to see how it's done -- excluding forums is certainly possible. Actually, it's done by specifically including certain forums, with the forumchoice variable.

1. I only want to do it for one forum.
2. It makes a seperate page with the results, leaving the originale forum alone. I want to push the trheads up.
3. How could I ever made a button in one single forum?

You can use the forumchoice option to limit your searches to certain forum(s). Not sure what you mean by #2 and #3.

Will this be ported for 3.5?
