Fixed some minor problems

Actually this is something that I had thought of only last night ^^

and now here it is! awesome :)

:up: :up: :up: Absolutely awesome! I searched for such mod a long time. Some staffmembers have so many pm that it's very handy to be able to search through them.
Should be a vb default feature. Thanks very much. ;)

Perfect Modification

Great work :D

woww excellent! very nice

Question...do you plan on adding usergroup settings?

Wow! You are amazing! I LOVE YOU! lol I get TONS of PM's at my sites and some of them I just leave in my inbox knowing I have to go back and read them...but then it gets buried 8 pages back...and I have a hard time finding them again.

I've thought that this should be a vb default option for quite some time now! Good work!

i just wanted this like 5 minutes ago :) thanks!

Good hack !

3.5 please ? :rolleyes:

fine hack, its working BUT I get warnings after results.
search by keyword

an
search by username
can u fix it?

I've uploaded a fixed version, forgotten to turn warnings on

Added it to my ToDo list

thx works fine

installed

This is absolutely incredible as a modification. Seems to work extremely well, and best of all, it has the same helpful Javascript functions as other searches, such as suggesting names. Downloaded, using and rated 5/5.

Great, now I can search my over 3000 pm's.

Excellent!! Clicked installed, rated 5 stars!

Everything is fine except for your readme file in the zip. It is bunched together and could hardly understand it till I sorted it all out...lol Other than that it is fine.

One thing - it apparently doesn't like the word "wonder." I was just testing it, searching through PMs, and even though I had a PM that listed "wonder woman" both in the title and in the body, it wouldn't find it. Found "woman" when I searched for that, but when I searched for "wonder" it told me: Please specify some words or valid user names to search on. There were no matches for those that you specified.

Thank you!

I have been waiting/wishing for this for more than a year.

Simply awesome ... installed and working!

in my search box on the page, this text is in there by default.
"SELECT id, link FROM #__menu WHERE menutype = 'mainmenu' AND published = 1 ORDER BY parent, ordering"

I deleted it, searched for the word "please" and when the results came back, I clicked on one, and the word please as not in the PM... I don't have any ideas why.

I'm on 3.6.4 of that matters.

I love you with all my power!

The amazing mod! I want this resource by default in vbulletin next build.

Please send suggestion to Jelsoft team.

got an error in 3.6.4 so guess i need to upgradet to 3.6.7 to ue it

Seems like you have another plugin installed which uses a var named $query somewhere before the searchplugin is included. In the Template change <div><input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="35" value="$query" style="width:250px" /> to <div><input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="35" value="" style="width:250px" /> and you should be fine. I'll rename it a next version.

Just installed 3.6.4 and can't replicate your error, worked fine, sry :/
You could copy and paste the query into phpmyadmin for a more detailed error msg, maybe that helps

Edit: Ah ok i see your problem. somehow the folderid isn't passed along. Do you have any other pm hacks installed? because on a fresh install it works.

Good modification!
But here are some notes and bug.

1. After you made a search a bug appears.
There are two down arrows appeare https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/06/3.gif after phrase:
Search Results In Folder: Inbox https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/06/3.gifhttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/06/3.gif

And after phrase Private Messages in Folder: Inbox the down arrow disappear.

Better to see screenshots:

Attachment 65639

P.S. This is a clean install of 3.6.7 PL1

The Fix for this is to change this code from ReadMe.txt:
To this one:

2. A littile note.
Why you didn't include templates modification in MOD file, so we have no need to edit template. Just Install.
As I looked throw I think it can be done so.
For example you can take a look how it works in this mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=122592

And once again Thanks for you work!

Very nice. Should become a default for one of the future vb versions

Still curious why it ignores the word "wonder."

Cool Thanks :)

Didn't knew this is possible, i'll have a look at.

Dunno, maybe it's in your ignore list for the standard search?

I have the same error on 3.6.7 pl1.

PS this mod is designed to implement template changes easily ^^ should make it easier to learn how to use this function this way :P

AND pm.folderid=

is the problem, when does this error occure?
Do you have any other pm mods installed?

if(!isset($_GET['folderid'])) $_GET['folderid'] = 0;

at the beginning should deal with it. You can try replacing it with if(!isset($_GET['folderid']) || trim($_GET['folderid']) == '') $_GET['folderid'] = 0;

otherwise i don't have a clue what could cause this problem.
i've updated the archiv accordingly

You are godly for doing this!

Awesome, thank you so much :)

No, it's not. I'm not so much concerned about that one word as I am confused, and concerned that there are other words it won't be able to find.

Are you sure you are searching in the right folder?
If so, could you send me a copy of the specific pm and your exact search query?

I opened the xml, and the word wonder is not even in there, so it's not the product itself messing up, it's something on your server. I don't know if you already knew that, I'm just trying to help.

Great Hack

Having used this I have one suggestion / plea for help

Having it above the PM's is useful, but a bit 'in your face', and having it below means the results also appear down there.

What would be perfect is a new item in the left hand Control Panel menu under PM's for search - which would open up a new control panel page with the PM searching / results on it - rather than having the search right there in the inbox.

PM searching is dead useful, but having it as a self contained feature they choose from the menu would be much less in the way for everyday PM usage.

Would this be hard? I know one can create custom Vb pages with the header etc on them, but then you would lose the control panel interface / menu. Is there a way of creating a new 'control panel page' easily?

but great work on this, very much appreciated

Harley

Thank you Thaliada

This is something I really need :D

Install

On test server.

I have to say, awesome work man! This is a truly great job of a vB-Addon. :D

Definitely should be vBulletin default, rated 5/5 and clicked install.

Installed and nominated as MOTM!
