Hack Support

This hack is now discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates, nor will support be provided as the thread is no longer monitored. But not to worry, you can now check out the new 3.8.x version of this hack which will work with v3.7.x, as well as with v3.6.12 (and maybe even earlier versions).

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.


vBulletin Version Compatibility

This hack can be used with both vBulletin v3.6.x and v3.7.x.


What Does This Hack Do?

This is an hack adds an extra option to the Search this Forum drop down list in forum display, that additionally allows you to search for unanswered threads by forum (including child forums if enabled). This can be useful for example, if you have some of your forums dedicated to support issues and want to filter by unanswered support threads, just in that forum (and child forums if enabled).

There have been a few threads that mentioned template edits for allowing to view all unanswered threads in all forums (not like this hack which is by forum, not the entire site), vb.org uses a variation of that template edit. This hack is different, but based on the idea, and allows more control over the results.

There are no file or template changes at all, and is phrased.

AdminCP settings for this hack available in vBulletin Options > Search For Unanswered Threads By Forum.
Settings that can be changed are:
  1. Usergroup permissions - which groups will be able to use Search For Unanswered Threads By Forum
  2. Search child forums - enable/disable
  3. Turn off cached results - enable/disable
  4. Search Text For Auto Template Injection - leave alone unless you know what you are doing. But if you need to manually edit the FORUMDISPLAY template because the auto template injection does not work, you will need to use the contents of the UnansweredThreadsByForum template to do so.

Installation Instructions
  1. Import product-jd_20070818.xml into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager. If upgrading then set Allow Overwrite to Yes.
  2. Alter the settings in the Admin CP to your liking.


Version History

-- Final Release
-- Fixed: Usergroup Permissions

v1.0.0 - Saturday 18th August 2007

This isn't working for my site either, running 3.6.8

What is the link that is supposed to be shown in the search box, I'll just add it manually.

Thanks!

You will need the contents of the UnansweredThreadsByForum template for that.

Thank you very much for creating such a useful addon Installed

Just wondering if there is any way to omit (soft) deleted threads from the search list or is this something you might consider adding in a future release?

The links not showing under my search box as well, so how do I add one?

Removed until I find a fix.

Solution is in step 4 in the first post:

4. Search Text For Auto Template Injection - leave alone unless you know what you are doing. But if you need to manually edit the FORUMDISPLAY template because the auto template injection does not work, you will need to use the contents of the UnansweredThreadsByForum template to do so.

[S]Alternatively you can click Mark as Installed, and if want me to take a look then feel free to PM me your site address, an temp admin user (with permissions for managing products and editing templates), without these I cannot help you. I will look when I have time, and even if I have a look, I can not guarantee that I will be able to fix it, if your site is not in English (I only read/write in English), so it is up to you what you want to do.[/S]
