Mozilla/Firefox users: Search when editing templates

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.

John,

This works great in FF, but... it seems now that I can't access the admincp thru IE.
Have you tried opening the admincp in IE after you installed this mod...?
It's giving me a "page not found" error... bizarre.

[sv1cec]

It shouldn't do that. I never use IE to open AdminCP, but I just tried it and it works fine.

Something else maybe? Actually opening admincp/index.php should have absolutely nothing to do with the change suggested. It is not in effect, until you go to the template manager.
