Include Search on Another Page

Check it out in the link I posted:

http://www.streetstyle.com/search2.php

Half of the options on the search page aren't loaded/are missing... its very weird :-/

Well, if that is all you have in your page, then you will need to add quite a bit. You need the code to populate all the drop-downs and the forum list, etc. You may even need to include the search phrasegroup. I'd start by taking a look at the search.php page and copying some of the code from there since you are doing another search page.

Just breaking it down to something as simple as the following line:

<select name="titleonly">
<option value="0" $titleonlyselected[0]>$vbphrase[search_entire_posts]</option>
<option value="1" $titleonlyselected[1]>$vbphrase[search_titles_only]</option>

$vbphrase[search_titles_only] prints perfectly fine, while $vbphrase[search_entire_posts] does not...

There is no reference to either of these in search.php.... has anyone successfully created their own search page using the vBulletin templates?

Ok.. I got the forms to showup correctly.. but now when I make searches, I get a "search id is not valid or has expired"

Where do I go from here?

[Lynne]

search_titles_only is a Global phrase. search_entire_posts is a Searching phrase. So, you need to include the 'search' phrasegroup at the top of your script.

As for the search id, is it getting inserted into the database when the search is first performed?

$searchforumbits is the only part of the page that isn't getting filled out... I've included the necessary files to get the rest to fill out, but can't figure our where those are set..

hmmm

I'm thinking its some linking issue? note: I have changed the base URL at the top of the page to /forum/

Oh Snap... even my regular search isn't working... what did I do ?


EDIT:

and Memberlist Search does work...

I think it only doesn't work, when it is actually returning a result... cause if i search for some random word, it'll return saying it didn't find it.. but if i search for a word that i know is there, like "celtics" it throws the error.

If you look at the vb search.php page, they define $searchforumbits around line 2065. Have you included the code for that in your custom page? (It needs the line above that which calls a function so you need to include the page that the function is in also.)
