Mozilla/Firefox users: Search when editing templates · **Released**: 06-27-2005

I am not sure if this is a real hack, so moderators, please feel free to remove it, if you do not consider it worthy.

I am an avid Mozilla user, having IE only for testing my forums, so I never use IE in the admincp. However, I was given access to a site, in which, for some reason, I had to use IE to access its admincp. I noticed that while editing a template, there was a "Search" box at the bottom of the form. That same box, didn't show up when using Firefox!

So I started asking around and I was told that this works only in IE. Then, when vB 3.5 came out, I noticed that the search function, was present in Firefox as well. Puzzled, I posted a question in vB.com, and the answer I got said to upload the clientscript/vbulletin_templatemgr.js, to get the same functionality.

Well, I did but nothing changed. So then I compared the file includes/adminfunctions_template.php and noticed some small differences. I incorporated them in vb 3.0.7 adminfunctions_template.php and voila, I got the search working fine.

If you are not in a hurry to update to vb 3.5 and if you want that functionality, edit your includes/adminfunctions_template.php and find:

PHP Code:


			
function print_template_javascript()

{

    global $stylevar, $vbphrase, $vboptions;



    print_phrase_ref_popup_javascript();



    echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="../clientscript/vbulletin_templatemgr.js"></script>';



    print_label_row(iif(is_browser('ie'), $vbphrase['search_in_template'], $vbphrase['additional_functions']), iif(is_browser('ie'), '

    <input type="text" class="bginput" name="string" accesskey="t" value="' . htmlspecialchars_uni($GLOBALS['searchstring']) . '" size="20" onChange="n=0;" tabindex="1" />

replace that with:

PHP Code:


			
function print_template_javascript()

{

    global $stylevar, $vbphrase, $vboptions;



    print_phrase_ref_popup_javascript();



    echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="../clientscript/vbulletin_templatemgr.js"></script>';



    print_label_row(iif(is_browser('ie') OR is_browser('mozilla', '20040707'), $vbphrase['search_in_template'], $vbphrase['additional_functions']), iif(is_browser('ie') OR is_browser('mozilla', '1.7'), '

    <input type="text" class="bginput" name="string" accesskey="t" value="' . htmlspecialchars_uni($GLOBALS['searchstring']) . '" size="20" onChange="n=0;" tabindex="1" />

With only this change, the search is working OK for me, but if you have problems, try uploading the clientscript/vbulletin_templatemgr.js from vb 3.5. It was not needed in my case, and it does not seem to have any differences that can affect the search, but I am not an expert in js.

sv1cec in the screenshot, which chat system are you currently running?

sv1cec · #25 07-05-2005, 09:40 AM

vBChat, heavily customized!

Snake · #26 07-05-2005, 09:59 AM

Oh I thought you were using a JAVA chat hack. vBChat is bad, I don't like it that much.

sv1cec · #27 07-05-2005, 11:10 AM

Each one is entitled to his opinion. I find it the best chat hack for vB, since it integrates completely with vB and allows you to customize it, to suite your site needs. I tried a couple of others, but either they had no connection to vB or (even worst) didn't allow you to customize even the way the screen looks.

I find vBChat the best for my needs, that does not necessarily make it suitable for yours.

lol There is no way you could intergrate it with vB because it is using JAVA! You cannot perform that since vBulletin is coded in PHP/MYSQL.

Very nice! Thanks.. However, I seem to be having less luck than the rest of you.. I see the search box.. But no find button...

Maybe you accidentally deleted the next line in that file? Here is what that part of the file should look:

PHP Code:


			
function print_template_javascript()

{

    global $stylevar, $vbphrase, $vboptions;



    print_phrase_ref_popup_javascript();



    echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="../clientscript/vbulletin_templatemgr.js"></script>';



    print_label_row(iif(is_browser('ie') OR is_browser('mozilla', '20040707'), $vbphrase['search_in_template'], $vbphrase['additional_functions']), iif(is_browser('ie') OR is_browser('mozilla', '1.7'), '

    <input type="text" class="bginput" name="string" accesskey="t" value="' . htmlspecialchars_uni($GLOBALS['searchstring']) . '" size="20" onChange="n=0;" tabindex="1" />

    <input type="button" class="button" style="font-weight:normal" value=" ' . $vbphrase['find'] . ' " accesskey="f" onClick="findInPage(document.cpform.string.value);" tabindex="1" />

    &nbsp;') .

    '<input type="button" class="button" style="font-weight:normal" value="' . $vbphrase['preview'] . '" accesskey="p" onclick="displayHTML();" tabindex="1" />

    <input type="button" class="button" style="font-weight:normal" value=" ' . $vbphrase['copy'] . ' " accesskey="c" onclick="HighlightAll();" tabindex="1" />

    &nbsp;

    <input type="button" class="button" style="font-weight:normal" value="' . $vbphrase['view_quickref'] . '" accesskey="v" onclick="js_open_phrase_ref(0, 0);" tabindex="1" />

    ');

}
