Add "Post Excerpt" to search results

This mod is will add a post excerpt to the search results when searching for posts (like it was in VB 3.x).

What do I need to do?
There are two parts to this mod.

First step adds the post excerpt to the search_results_postbit template. This will make the excerpt display if you're using the Find All Threads by "User" In User Profile.
Requires 1 template edit.
Second step modifies the Advanced Search to add a check box to select whether or not to show the excerpt when using global search.
Requires 2 template edits

Installation

PART 1
AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> *YOUR STYLE* - I used the Default Style -> Search Templates -> SEARCH _RESULTS_POSTBIT

FIND:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['inlinemod']">

<!-- fourth block -->

<label class="threadimod td">

<input type="checkbox" id="post_imod_checkbox_{vb:raw post.postid}" name="imodcheck[{vb:raw post.postid}]" />

</label>

</vb:if>

ADD BELOW:

Code:

<div style="clear:both; border:1px dashed #c4c4c4; padding:10px; margin:10px 5px 5px 5px; background-color:#fefdf2;">

{vb:raw post.pagetext}

</div>

SAVE

* Yes I hardcoded the styling, the assumption being this will get added back to the core.
** If you don't care about having the excerpt show when using the global advanced search you can stop here. Otherwise continue..

PART 2
AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> *YOUR STYLE* - I used the Default Style -> Search Templates -> SEARCH_COMMON

FIND:

Code:

        <vb:if condition="$show['nocache']">

        <div class="blockrow">

                <label for="cb_nocache">

                        <input type="checkbox" name="nocache" value="1" id="cb_nocache" {vb:raw nocachechecked}/>&nbsp;{vb:rawphrase do_not_use_cached_results}

                </label>

        </div>

        </vb:if>

ADD ABOVE

Code:

        <vb:if condition="!$show['searchthread']">

        <div class="blockrow">

                <label for="cb_postexcerpt">Show post excerpt &nbsp;

                        <input type="checkbox" name="showposts" value="1" id="cb_postexcerpt" {vb:raw showpostschecked} />

                </label>        

        </div>

        </vb:if>

And that is it - Job Done !

Please click "Installed" and rate this Thread.

Thank You.

Aw, thanks! This is really useful ^^

How can I made it checked by default? :) Thanks!

Sorry for my english.

Absolutly nice. Tagged ;)

Is there a way to get this also for 2 languages? I am running a german/english board, and it would be nice if the sentence "Show post excerpt" changes, when someone is changing the board language. Thanks a lot

Thanks for the mod. Not as streamline as in vb3, but for a user mod it's great work!

For those interested in making the search tick the box by default, just insert

Code:

checked="checked"

anywhere in the input type tag in steps 2 & 3.

E.g. I wrote had it as:

Code:

<input type="checkbox" name="showposts" checked="checked" 

     value="1" id="cb_postexcerpt" {vb:raw showpostschecked} />

Installed and working well on vB4.0.3 PL1 - Thank You.
