Question about GPC vars

[Antivirus]

I've noticed that vbulletin has the ability to recognize certain sincle character arguments in GPC when cleaning vars such as c=calendarid, e=eventid, f=forumid, etc... thus allowing a $_REQUEST to look like this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/newthread...newthread&f=15

as opposed to this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/newthread...ead&forumid=15

I've looked all over for the "key" to this, but can't find it. Somewhere there has to be a array of keys=>values for f=>forumid, c=>calendarid, etc...

Does anyone know where this is located?

/includes/class_core.php

How do some of you guys get by without a text editor that does a search for a word in a folder? I couldn't possible code if I couldn't search the vb folder for certain functions or pieces of code.

It's located in includes/class_core.php within the actual input cleaner class, var $shortvars if I remember correctly.

ah yes, i see it now, thanks!

posting here for quick reference for others:

PHP Code:

    /**
    * Translation table for short name to long name
    *
    * @var    array
    */
    var $shortvars = array(
        'f'     => 'forumid',
        't'     => 'threadid',
        'p'     => 'postid',
        'u'     => 'userid',
        'a'     => 'announcementid',
        'c'     => 'calendarid',
        'e'     => 'eventid',
        'q'        => 'query',
        'pp'    => 'perpage',
        'page'  => 'pagenumber',
        'sort'  => 'sortfield',
        'order' => 'sortorder',
    );
