Replace search with Google Custom Search
 
1 Attachment(s)
This mod assumes you have an adsense account and are using Google Custom Search.

You want to make sure your results page is named something other than the vb default search.php, this leaves the vb option open to those who click "advanced search"

Open your template navbar


find
PHP Code:
<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post" id="navbar_search"> 

replace with the form line of the google supplied code
example:
PHP Code:
<form action="http://www.ahfb2000.com/google.php" id="cse-search-box"> 


find
PHP Code:
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionurl}" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" /> 

replace with the first 3 hidden input types in your google code
example:
PHP Code:
    <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:10" />
    <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" /> 


find
PHP Code:
<input type="text" value="" name="query" class="textbox" /> 

replace with
PHP Code:
<input type="text" value="" name="q" class="textbox" /> 


find
PHP Code:
<input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.png" name="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" /> 

replace with
PHP Code:
<input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.png" name="sa" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" /> 


find
PHP Code:
</form> 

add this after
PHP Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&amp;lang=en"></script>

Read the instructions again. Some of the "replace" codes are examples and not to be taken literal.

Place the <script> line only after the first </form>.

Your second closing form tag is for <form action="profile.php?do=dismissnotice" method="post" id="notices" class="notices">

Hello, thank you very much for your help but is not happening does not.
I'm sorry if I trouble you with my questions.
But this code is a bit complicated.
I'm really sorry. Still thank you very much for your help you are very kind.
I will leave that always fails. I do not understand what happens but anyway thank you very much indeed.

Greetings.

Dave-ahfb 12-12-2009 09:22 PM
Is your result page titled google.php or did you give it another name? Again, my use of google.php was an EXAMPLE, you should use the name of the page that YOU created for google search.

Tize. 12-12-2009 09:33 PM
From the Google page I have not downloaded anything, just the robot.txt and ID code

Dave-ahfb 12-12-2009 09:43 PM
This is meant for people that use google adsense for search, if you have not completed the steps specified by Google this will not work for you.

Tize. 12-12-2009 09:53 PM
Thank you very much sir, I will complete the registration to see if they give me some code to complete.
Thank you very much and apologize for the inconvenience.
Greetings.

Google gives you a script for this when you set up adsense for search.

Thanks a lot, it works great although the google watermark isn't showing on mine like it is on yours (yes i did select the right option when setting it up in google) no problem though it still opens up to my custom search page when you do a search

actually i think i'll leave it as it is, i've read a load of how to make money from google stuff and it all boils down to 1 thing:

Disguise you adds as much as possible so they look like your site so your tricking people into clicking on them thinking it's part of your site, i think the same goes for this mod their more likely to use it if they think it's an internal search engine, it practically is if you set it up through adsense to search you site only...


Now all need is the mod to add adsense to the postbit for vb4

Dave-ahfb 12-25-2009 02:44 AM
As long as you are aware thast you could lose your adsense account as well as all earnings.

Welshy2008 12-27-2009 12:33 PM
Would it be possible to have this AS WELL as the vB Search?

Verionia 12-30-2009 12:14 AM
- What do I replace with value="FORID:10"?
- Also how can I create a vbulletin page for the results to show?

SemperFideles 12-31-2009 08:28 PM
I'm stuck. I've followed all the instructions and created a site search page from my Adsense account. I get a blank page from my search results.

My google.php looks like this:
PHP Code:
<div id="cse-search-results"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var googleSearchIframeName = "cse-search-results";
  var googleSearchFormName = "cse-search-box";
  var googleSearchFrameWidth = 800;
  var googleSearchDomain = "www.google.com";
  var googleSearchPath = "/cse";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/afsonline/show_afs_search.js"></script> 
Should I have anything else in the file?

SemperFideles 12-31-2009 08:31 PM
I guess what I'm asking is if the google.php should have any other code within it? Should I just create a new file called google.php, paste the above code to it and then upload it or should there be some other code before and after it so it will display inline?

Dito guys, and I can not find the mistake :(

Dave-ahfb 01-01-2010 03:17 PM
The code for your search results page looks fine. I have to ask if it may have been a case of "give google 10 minutes to update"? If not, make certain your form is calling the proper file. If the form call is correct paste the important part of your form here and I will check it out.

SemperFideles 01-01-2010 06:03 PM
Here is the process I used to create a custom search results page. You can see the search in operation at http://www.puritanboard.com

1. In your Adsense Setup page for your Custom Search
  • Select Only sites I select
  • Type your URL (without http:/)
  • Select Use Safe Search (to avoid explicit content)
  • Under Open Search Results Page select Open results within my own site
  • In the block type http://www.yourforum.com/google.php
  • The rest of the settings you can figure out

2. Create a file called google.php to upload to your forum root. Here are my contents
PHP Code:
<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);  
// change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array('GOOGLE',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
// if your page is outside of your normal vb forums directory, you should change directories by uncommenting the next line
// chdir ('/path/to/your/forums');
require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Google Site Search'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);

// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = 'Google Custom Search';

// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######

$templater = vB_Template::create('GOOGLE');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
print_output($templater->render());

?>
3. Go to your AdminCP
  • Go to Styles & Templates -> Style Manager
  • Within your Style pulldown select Create New Templat
  • Name the Template GOOGLE
  • Paste the following code within:

PHP Code:
{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
  <head>
    <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>
    {vb:raw headinclude}
  </head>
  <body>
    
    {vb:raw header}
    
    {vb:raw navbar}
    
    <div id="pagetitle">
      <h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
    </div>
    
    <h2 class="blockhead">Google Custom Search</h2>
    <div class="blockbody">
      <div class="blockrow">

<div id="cse-search-results"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var googleSearchIframeName = "cse-search-results";
  var googleSearchFormName = "cse-search-box";
  var googleSearchFrameWidth = 800;
  var googleSearchDomain = "www.google.com";
  var googleSearchPath = "/cse";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/afsonline/show_afs_search.js"></script>
      </div>
    </div>
    
    {vb:raw footer}
  </body>
</html> 
4. Make the modifications to navbar as described herein. Here is my entire form within Navbar so you can see how mine was implemented (Google Adsense code modified):

PHP Code:
<form action="http://www.puritanboard.com/google.php" id="cse-search-box">
    <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxx-xxxx" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:9" />
    <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" />
            <span class="textboxcontainer"><span><input type="text" value="" name="q" class="textbox" /></span></span>
            <span class="buttoncontainer"><span><input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.png" name="sa" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" />  </span></span>
        </form>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&amp;lang=en"></script> 

vivamexico55 01-02-2010 04:16 AM
Semper, thanks! When you comment "// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####"
Are you referring to the Search Results Code? And where exactly do we paste it?

Or do we just paste everything into google.php without modifying anything? If I do that, I get a blank page.

thanks!

SemperFideles 01-02-2010 12:56 PM
No, you do not need to make any modifications to google.php. You can copy, paste, and save exactly as above. The only customization you need to make above is to Step 4. You can customize Step 3 by making the frame width for search higher but that's minor.

Regarding Step 4, when you go to Google Adsense in Step 1 to create your Custom Search (be sure to save that Custom Search), then you will be able to get the code you need from Google so your particular code is inserted where the XX's are in my example.

If you're getting a blank page then either you have not created the Template (Step 3) or you have not modified the navbar template correctly (Step 4). You should be able to test google.php out just by visiting the page. You'll see that the page works even if there are no search results. Also, make sure to set the file permissions to 755 for google.php

vivamexico55 01-02-2010 06:02 PM
Thank you SO MUCH Semper! It is indeed working now, with the default google.php you supplied, my mistake was trying to add the code in there. Again, thanks =)
