Release: Toggle Search Results between Posts + Threads
 

Author: Dock

Description:This is a really, really, simple template modification. It basically adds the ability to choose whether to see the search results as posts or threads. I wanted to add this because I found it annoying using the 'simple search', but then realising I wanted to see posts instead of threads.

I realise that it's possible to click on the 'Searched for' text to go back to the search page, but this is nicer IMO :) I don't know whether this is useful for anyone.

EDIT: 1.1 - I changed the code so that it recognises whether it is on threads or posts, and offers to toggle to the other view.
EDIT: 1.2 - I fixed the code so that it doesn't show on the getnew page.

In the 'SEARCH-FORUMS' template, search for:
and replace with:
Example: See attached image

Notes:

This hack will also show up on the "search within this thread" results, but clicking either of the links will make no change to the current page. I should probably try to find a conditional to make it disappear for that page too.

I was wondering if anyone could help me to finish this hack. I still have problems with this code appearing within the 'search this thread' results. I've tried <if condition="$search[searchthread]"><else /> and <if condition="$search[searchthreadid]"><else /> and a wealth of others, but I can't see to find any way to turn off this hack on the 'search this thread' page. :( Can anyone help?
