Thanks for this info. So I'll be waiting ;)

Is there a way to call up a search function that shows all threads from a certain category thats forum wide.

Currently you can do this however it only pulls from one forum... I'd like to do it via multiple forums.

Lets say it shows all posts from Category "BLA BLA" even if the posts are in forums 1, 5, 8, etc...

I'm thinking the html markup option is our friend here.

Say I add a cathegory "Important"

Then I put this html <img src="http://mydomain.com/forum/images/cathegory_icons/{1}.gif" alt="{1}">

And have a folder in /forum/images/ called cathegory_icons and in it I have Important.gif

I think this should work, haven't tried yet though.

This is a very good hack. Good work Mystics,
I would love to see some more hacks from you :)

Thanks,
Mat

Is there a way that, when filtering a forum by a certain category and choose "search this forum" it searches only the currently present threads?

Edit the FORUMDISPLAY template and find:Add below:(you have to do this 2x)

Sadly it didn't work as you described. When I filter a forum by category X and search for "example", it displays all results like it normally does (all threads).

Works fine for me. Did you allow the prefix search in your vBulletin options?

Do you have a link to your site and an test user?

At first I had chosen the following option: "Yes - Only Automatically Created List" then did tested all options with no luck (on the normal search.php it works good).

I'm testing the vbulletin hacks locally.
