Search for Posts in Thread by Username · **Released**: 07-03-2005

<font size="3">Search for Posts in Thread by Username</font>

Description
Do you know that? You are searching for that one Post in a single Thread made by a specific User, but you can't remember the Text.
Unfortunately the Thread is several hundred Posts long - and the User has tons of Posts in the Forum that Thread belongs to.
So searching for Keywords in the Thread doesn't work, and searching for the Posts made by the User also doesn't help much.
This Hack solves the Problem by allowing you to search for Posts from a specific User made in a specific Thread.

A variable name has changed.

Why not just import the new XML?

Great!! I will install in a few days

Suggestion: The 2 editboxes look kinda messy. It would be better to have 2 radio buttons underneath one editbox like:
(o) Text ( ) Username
What do you think?

Then you would not be able to search for posts by foo containing bar, which is possible with the current implementation

I think it doesn't matter if you lose some of the functionality to make it look neater.

Of course some people might prefer it this way so I think if it's not hard you could make a second version of the hack for people who prefer it that way

What do you think?

LOL, I zipped the wrong file ^.^
Should be the correct one now.

As for the "neatness", I just changed the template a bit so it's more broken up, and says

Username:
[INPUT BOX]
And/Or Keywords:
[INPUT BOX]

I think that looks OK myself. Each to their own.

Hmm yeah, that sounds a little better

That's almost as I got it (except the And/Or). Isn't that how the template edit instructions are?

Just installed... Many thanks. Your thread still says vB 3.5.0 - just so you know.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
