vb.org Archive - Miscellaneous Hacks - Advanced Quick Search form like vBulletin.org

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...2&d=1226497781

1. This is a search form similar to what you see at this forum (screenshot above) that includes searching by forums, all posts, titles only with a quick menu.

2. It includes quick tag search as well, if you want. Just remove comments to enable it.

3. Under Search Options, you'll find

Code:

My Posts

My Threads

New Posts

Today's Posts

Unanswered Threads

Advanced Search

4. XHTML valid

5. It would be convenient and easiest if we simply place the code in Ad Location Templates -> ad_header_logo template (if you're not using it for ad purposes ofcourse and the spot is free) OR

find this in header template:-

Code:

<if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else /> </if>

and replace the code in red with the below code.

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">

        <!-- header quick search form -->

        <form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">

        <input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />

        <input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />

        <input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />

        <input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />

        <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

        <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

<div><input type="text" name="query" size="30" style="font-size: 8pt;" />

<select name="forumchoice[]">

            <option value="-1" selected="selected">All Forums</option>

            <option value="1">Forum1</option>

            <option value="2">Forum2</option>

            <option value="3">Forum3</option>

          </select>

<select name="titleonly">

                <option value="0" selected="selected">All Posts</option>

                <option value="1" >Titles Only</option>

        </select><input name="search" value="Search" type="submit" class="button" /><a href="search.php" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow" id="navbar_search1" class=""><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/menu_open.gif" alt="" title="Advanced Search" border="0" /></a>

            <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search1",1); </script>

</div>

</form>

<!-- <br />

<form action="tags.php" method="get">

<span id="tag_wrapper"><input type="text" id="tag_input" name="tag" size="25" style="font-size: 8pt" value="enter tag, and hit enter" onFocus="this.value=''" onBlur="this.value='enter tag, and hit enter'"/></span>

</form> -->

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_search1_menu" style="display:none">

        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

        <tr><td class="thead" align="left">Search Options</td></tr>

        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$bbuserinfo[userid]" rel="nofollow">My Posts</a></td></tr>

        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&amp;showposts=0&amp;starteronly=1&amp;exactname=1&amp;searchuser=$bbuserinfo[username]" rel="nofollow">My Threads</a></td></tr>

        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" rel="nofollow">New Posts</a></td></tr>

        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily" rel="nofollow">Today's Posts</a></td></tr>

        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&amp;replyless=1&amp;replylimit=0&amp;exclude=30&amp;nocache=1" rel="nofollow">Unanswered Threads</a></td></tr>

        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">Advanced Search</a></td></tr>

        </table>

</div>

        <!-- / header quick search form -->

        </if>

6. To add searching within forums, simply find Forum1, Forum2 in the above code and replace them with your forum title and corresponding FORUM ID's in place of option values.

Extras:-

1. To enable quick tag search:-

Simply uncomment the second form after first instance of </form>. Ofcourse position it, style it as you like.

2. You would notice a Javascript effect in tag search form where there is no submit button and a hint text on focus and blur is placed. If you like, you can do the same for the first form ;)

Hope you find this useful. Please MARK AS INSTALLED if you use it.
