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.

Does this work for both search methods (i.e. vb search, and mysql fulltext search) ?

All this hack does, is list the last 15 rows in the search table, and then apply forumpermissions on those.

This hack itself does not do any searching, so binary or fulltext search is not in the question.

So i don't really get your question.

Ah Okay, so it will work whichever method you have set on the forum.

Yes, surprisingly, I did know it doesn't do any searching ....

Great hack, however, for some reason I am getting an error on the search.php page??

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /search.php(292) : eval()'d code on line 73

Any thoughts?
