It's no longer a plugin, and is now a product.

Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious, but it's something that could be causing it not to work.. ;)

It wont install as a plug in anyway... mine is certainly installed as a product.

What version are you running of this? And check the template edit to make sure the code for it is in there.

Ok... I'm running:-
MOD version 1.04
vB version: 3.5.1

Template has been inserted under the 'search templates' branch and called 'search_last15'

I can also confirm that (looking in plugins)
'Last 15 Searches Template Cache' is listed under Hook Location : cache_templates
'Last 15 searches' is listed under Hook Location : search_intro
..... they are also both ticked as active

I really am stumped.

this plugin is giving me fits. I installed it a few days ago, then suddenly it quit appearing on the search page.

I removed the plugin, reinstalled it this morning. It worked, but would only show 2 searches (and there were more searches than that, it just kept showing the last 2), and now it has disappeared completely again.

Has anyone run into this situation and no an easy solution?

ah crap, disregard my last post. I had no idea this was the case and it has been bugging me to no end as to why this wasnt working.

Well, I have a definite problem, but Boofo refuses to accept there is an issue.

nice hack.
installed and thanks :)

Only in RC3 and onwards.. Before then it would have installed as a "blank" plugin.

Hmm, you don't think your rant might have harmed your chances of support then .......

Disable all your other products & plugins so that this is the only one running. It is possible for one to intefere with another.

*Installed* This wouldn't work for the first three attempts. Everytime I tried to import the product it kept saying create additional fields. I just kept trying to import though and it eventually worked. Have no idea what happened there :confused:

Strange. That is the first time I have heard of that happening with this. Must have been a fluke. Glad you got it installed ok. ;)

Hmmm....why do my most recent searches disappear from the list after a short period of time?

You might want to read the thread sometime. ;)

Fair enough, sorry about that...didnt feel like reading 12 pages of material, that is why ;)

Boofo, what would it take for you to help me troubleshoot the problems I am having.... I am certainly not making it up and all your instructions have been followed to the letter. I'm no Noob to installing plugins and everything is set up correctly.... yet nothing is showing on the search page.

Check post #164 for more detail Boofo.

I would be grateful if you (or someone) can help me as I feel this is an important MOD

You should have been here a few years ago. Reading the entire thread was a prerequisite for most hacks. And it was enforced quite often. 12 pages is nothing compared to over 100. ;)

First of all, I have no problem helping anyone with any hack here, mine or not. But I don't respond very well to posts like the one you made above. As a matter of fact, as you saw, I don't respond at all to most of them. Asking for help will get you a whole lot further than demanding help, every time. Might want to remember that for future reference. ;)

Ok, now to help you. When I said to check the template to make sure the template code was there, I meant to check the search_forums template. Look at the very end of the xml file and you will see what should be in there. If that is there, then the only thing I can do is to take a look at your setup and see what is going on. I would need to have you make a test account and give it admin access. PM me the details and I will take a look for you.

Question,is there any way to make a link to most recent searches?

Oh.. and it worked for me first time, first install..

Thank you...

The searches are already linked if you click on them, or are you meaning something else? ;)

Hi Boofo

For some reason the search list isn't showing up searches for users. I know this because I viewed my who's online and someone was searching for posts by one of our members however it didn't show up in the search list. I tried doing it myself and it still doesn't show up? Any idea why or is this mod not for that? Thanks :)

The only way that would happen is if they were searching for a word in a forum that they did not have permissions for. If the word is in a non-permissions forum, then it will not show up on the list for them. However, you should be able to see the word if you have permission for that forum.

Annd searching for posts is a lot different than searching for words. ;)

I actually thought about my question after I hit submit, I was wondering if there could be a link that takes you to the list of most recent searches but it already does how them on the search page, I just think if we had a seperate php page for most recent searches and have a link in navbar to where they can search, advanced search, and most recent searches....

That could be done but I don't want to add any more to this hack than is already there since I would never use it in that fashion. You're more than welcome to add to it if you want and I can link it in the first post. ;)

Hi Boofo

I'm not sure what's happened but since installing the arcade the searches aren't showing up? Any idea why?

Thanks :)

The arcade shouldn't have anything to do with this hack. Try re-installing the hack and set "allow overwrite" to yes and see if that fixes it.

OK, I've re-installed the hack and allowed overwrite but still nothing is showing up?

The seraches get deleted every hour via a cron job. Any searches over that time will be gone.

If the hack was working before you installed the arcade, then I would say to look there first, although I don't know how anything from the Arcade could be causing this.

Got it!

Thanks!

Oh right, I didn't realise that the searches get deleted every hour as the searches were showing up in the search list for up to 2 days ago. I'll wait and see what happens :)

Ok, just did a search and checked and it's showing up now. Thanks :)

I installed it here:
http://www.comicforum.de/search.php
however as we are on a german board, I was translating the phrases I found. But there are still some missing and still in english. Is there any way to find and translate them? I searched for them in in the phrase-system but didn't find anything. If this was cleared somewhere in the previous 12 page, please excuse me, but the search didn't find anything. :)

*installs* cheers
Bob

Smartgnome clicks *Install* and Tnx guys

:mad:

I would have to know which phrases or text you are referring to. ;)

Thanks Bob, this is great!

I actually thought this was a part of vBulletin after seeing it on a vB forum that I often visited before I bought my own copy of vB. I was disappointed when I couldn't find it, but here it is...

Great stuff, thanks :)

Clancy

Thank you for the kind words. ;)

Enjoy! ;)

This hack is nice, but would be possible to develop this to all search statistic?

I would like to see statistic of most wanted keywrods on my board. This would be usefull for me to know and maybe to stick some of moste wanted answers on my board, or to make list of them etc... I think this will be a good stuff to check also for newcomers and will make another step to make order on my forum and prevent from multiplequestioning...

200th Install. Woot!
I modded it a wee bit so that only admins could see the entire table.

ok not related to this hack really, but since i installed it i'm noticing some rather odd searches & was hoping maybe someone else could shed some light...

sample from apache logs:

I've no idea what's going on, but i'm blocking the IP's involved as I find them.

Anyone know what's up? My guess is it's something to do with spoofing search engines, but can't figure out how.

I'm also a bit puzzled by the fact that searches for the exact same url return different amounts of results. None of the returned posts/threads include any mention of the url searched for, so i'm guessing it's just seeing the http://www part or something.
