Miscellaneous Hacks - vB3.5 15 Most Recent Searches Made By Our Members

vB3.5 15 Most Recent Searches Made By Our Members
Version 1.0.4
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will display the last 15 searches made by your members on your main site search page at the top. The search words are then linked to those search results. It uses your censor options to make sure nothing bad shows up. The searchee will also be visible, but only to Admins. The search box will only show up when searches have been made. Searches made in your private forums are not shown to members who do not have access to those forums. It is now fully permissions based.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release
Version 1.0.1 --Fixed error for new sites when the search table was empty.
Version 1.0.2 --Product is now fully self-contained. No more need for a template edit. Also changed the product name.
Version 1.0.3 --Fixed search template from repeating itself on each subsequent search.
Version 1.0.4 --Fixed searchee name being blank on a guest search.

Upgrade Instructions:
1. You MUST un-install the old product before upgrading due to the product name being changed.
1. Go to the "search_forums" template and remove "$last15searches" (sans quotes).
2. Install the product.

Credits:
A big thank you goes out to EvilSL1 for co-authoring the vB3.0 version, on which this hack has been converted.

Installed and working fine, thanks! However, recent searches by my members seem to get reset periodically? Can this be changed or...?

vB 3.5 clears the search table via cron job every hour, I think. All this hack does is read the search table. That would entail file edits and an additional table or column.

No need for that, let's keep it simple. You're right too ? search table gets cleared every hour...

So would there any harm in editing the cleanup.php file directly and changing it to every 12 hours?

I like it getting cleaned every hour. It keeps the search table smaller and easier to search.

Hmm, well mine doesn't seem to be getting cleaned every hour.

I still have my test listed from over 4 hours ago, are you sure it's every hour?

The cron job is set to run every hour unless you have changed it.

[Oblivion Knight]

Hmm, I don't remember editing it..

Anyway, it's cleaning every hour on my v2 test board alright so that's all I'm bothered about.!

Works great! Is there a quick way this can be edited so that only certain usergroups can see it? I understand only admins can see the names, but I want to specify which usergroups can see this at all.
