Hack Fix

At http://www.asianxo.com I tried the mouseover the search icon under the category, and see this string

<a href="search.php?action=getlatest&forumid=$forum[forumid]">findnow.gif</a>


But I tried using the same string for my icon, and it didn't work(sent me to a blank page). Essentially I want to be able to search the latest posts by a user when an icon is clicked. Does anyone know how to do this, thanks.

Try this:

<a href="search.php?action=getlatest&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/findnow.gif" border="0" alt="Find latest posts by $post[username]" align="middle"></a>

and adjust it for the imagesfolder.

Thanks for the fast reply. That didn't work for me either. Sorry, for the confusion, I should have put the <img> tag in there too, but I was just using a link as an example. The query string is what I am trying to get at. When I tried to use that string, I get redirected to a blank page

The getlatest might be your problem. I never heard of that. Do you want to get all of the posts by the user? I don't know how you would get just the latest. How would you know how far to go back to? I'm new at this too. What I did was give you the way to link to an image. The rest I'm not sure about.
