Finding the forumid from a getnew search string

I need to pull the forumid variable from the getnew search string:

eg

search.php?do=getnew&f=139

I always thought this would be $_GET["f"] but it's not.

How can I use this variable? Basically I need to do a check to see if it exists. What I want to do is show something extra on the results page if the string is just search.php?do=getnew compared to where a forum is specified eg search.php?do=getnew&f=139

Did you try $vbulletin->GPC['f'] or $vbulletin->GPC['forumid'] ? And don't forget to run the variable through the cleaner first.

Not tried that...will do so now.

Hmm...neither of those return any value.

Sounds like something else is wrong with your code. You can see this right in the search page:

Code:

    $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(

        'f'                     => TYPE_UINT,

        'days'       => TYPE_UINT,

        'exclude'    => TYPE_NOHTML,

        'include'    => TYPE_NOHTML,

        'showposts'  => TYPE_BOOL,

        'oldmethod'  => TYPE_BOOL,

        'sortby'     => TYPE_NOHTML,

        'noannounce' => TYPE_BOOL,

        'contenttype' => TYPE_NOHTML,

        'type' => TYPE_STR

    ));

So, 'f' is what you want.

That's really odd....

Mine is like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
        'days'       => TYPE_UINT,
        'exclude'    => TYPE_NOHTML,
        'include'    => TYPE_NOHTML,
        'showposts'  => TYPE_BOOL,
        'oldmethod'  => TYPE_BOOL,
        'sortby'     => TYPE_NOHTML,
        'noannounce' => TYPE_BOOL,
    ));

But even if I add the line in, I still get nothing.

I am not sure I am hooking this into the right area of the file. As a test I have tried simply setting a simple variable, eg $test= 3; by hacking it into that area of the file, and it does not spit out if you put $test in the template. So that might be my problem, am I looking in the wrong area? I am right after

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'getnew' OR $_REQUEST['do'] == 'getdaily')

and I'm thinking, if setting a simple variable THERE will not echo out on a getnew search, then is this something to do with the URL string changing to a search ID when the search is displayed?

Am I making any sense?

Whoops, I was looking at the vb4 file.

It doesn't look like that variable gets passed for getnew. So, you would have to add it yourself.

Thanks Lynne....would that just be a matter of adding that line?

Well, you would have to at least add a line to clean the variable for use.
