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.

There's no way it cannot work. Try installing it again.

It's not working for me either, installed it as a plugin as said too and nothing.

It works. But nothing will appear on the search page unless a search has been made in the last 60 minutes on your forum.

For those of you saying it isn't working, like Rabbitoh Warren said above, any searches made over an hour, will NOT show up. vBulletin erases the search table hourly via a cron job. That has nothing to do with this product. The product works.

Boofo, can you please stop being so self righteous and single minded.

Frankly, you are insulting my intelligence if you think I have not read this thread front to back..... I know you need to perfom searches.... i know the cron clears the table every hour. People in this thread are saying it works and you are telling me it works, fine... I hear you... now hear me, ITS NOT WORKING FOR ME!!!!

Can I hear some recommendations for troubleshooting this? It's a nice plugin and it would be a shame if I cannot get it working.
