vb.org Archive - View Single Post - link that points to threads in category and sorts by creation date

btappan · #1 08-31-2004, 09:13 PM

I use a link that points to all of the threads in a particular catagory along with that catagories child forums. kind of like when you go into the search and select the catagory to search in and also specify search in child forums.

This is what I currentley use:

/search.php?&do=getdaily&days=30&exclude=20,12,14,9 ,18,31,15,7,6,22,27

I just specified the forums i did NOT want it to search in via the forum IDs...

the problem i am having now is getting it to also sort these results by creation date. I was trying to incorporate :

sortby=threadstart&sortorder=descending&amp

but it does not work. apparentley the seacrh.php file needs to be modified to get the sortby command to work through a URL. can someone help?
