Mini Mods - [OzzModz] Extended Search Links In Navbar

[B][SIZE=3]Another mod brought to you by,


This is a cool little addon that will add some good search links in the navbar for you and your members to use.

This can be really useful to you as a admin, and to your mods, to see if there is any unanswered threads on your site that need attention.

Note: As of now this is only compatible with vB version 4.2.0 and above (which has the Navigation Manager). If there is enough requests for it, I will see about making it compatible with all v4.x

It is a simple installation, just import the product XML, product-ozzy_extended_search Or if you want the links to show up on the Forum Tab, and the What's New Tab, import the product XML, product-ozzy_extended_search_2

You can edit the options under the settings, Ozzy: Extended Search Links Settings


Possible links to show your members

• Link that searches for all their threads.
• Link that searches for all their posts.
• Link that searches for all their threads, in a forum, if they are in that forum.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

Works great - thanks!

Something doesn't seem to be jiving for my links --

Here's my settings versus what's actually showing up. I confirmed that it's really doing a search for Unanswered threads, not unread - thought maybe it was just a phrase mismatch. For the permissions section above the screenshot, I have all of the usergroups checked except for Unregistered / Not Logged In, Users Awaiting Email Validation, and my Banned user group.

Agreed! Does the job and fulfills it's purpose. Splendid!
And the chap is available and helpful in many areas. Qualitaire! Not sure if that is a word but it does allow me the space to sound posh. Possibly educated?

Love it!
I have a forum with welcome posts for each new user.
They all show up with no reply.
Is there any way to exclude forums from the listings?

[ozzy47]

You could edit the links in the Navigation Manager and add, &exclude=X,Y,Z onto the end of the url.

Where X,Y,Z are the ID's of the forums you want to exclude.

Thank you - it worked!
I will now stay away from here for the rest of the day - my brain has gone on Holiday

[ozzy47]

LOL, not a problem, glad it worked for you.
