Glad to see you're still following this thread. Thanks for making the hack available. I think people will keep using it until the developers add this feature to the standard vbulletin, which it seems they have no interest in adding to v3 at this time.
Of course, shortly after adding this hack, someone asked if there was a way to sort the results. After some tinkering, I figured out how to do this. You need to modify an additional line in the search2.php file as follows. Find the following line in the "Start Get Daily" section of search2.php:
Code:
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_search")."\",\"search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=showresults
&getnew=true&searchid=$searchid\");");
Change it to:
Code:
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_search")."\",\"search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=showresults
&getnew=true&searchid=$searchid&sortby=".addslashes($sortby)."&sortorder=".addslashes($sortorder)."\");");
Then use the attached text file for the "lastxxdays" template.
Feel free to add these changes to the hack if you want.
