Can I refine the search for posts by a user so that it only finds posts by the user in a given forum without modifying the code?

For example, if I wanted to find all posts by Chen in the released hacks forum, could it be done without having to open the advanced search page?

I was about to answer 'not without hacking', then I realized that's probably why you're here. :p

Anyway, find

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($action=="finduser") {

  // get allowable forums:

    $forumsql=getallforumsql();

and replace it with

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($action=="finduser") {

  // get allowable forums:

  if ($forumid) {

      $forumsql = "forumid='forumid'";

  } else {

      $forumsql=getallforumsql();

  }

Then add &forumid=$post[forumid] to the search link for the user. I'm not sure if $post[forumid] will do anything by itself...you may need to add some code to functions.php. You might also try $thread[forumid] before you add anything tho.

Thank you :) I'll play with it this evening and see how it goes.

Replacing:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($action=="finduser") {

  // get allowable forums:

    $forumsql=getallforumsql();

with:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($action=="finduser") {

  // get allowable forums:

  if ($forumid) {

      $forumsql="forumid='forumid'";

  } else {

      $forumsql=getallforumsql();

  }

is ok for most cases, but users will sooner or later find out they can search in any forums they want, including those they're not supposed to see.

So you need to do something a bit more complicated if you're afraid of this. :)
