Google-Search

Hi
with this hack you can get your own google-search from your vbulletin. This hack needs some PEAR-Classes and you need a google-account.

Requirements:
- you need the following PEAR-Classes:
- SOAP (available at http://cvs.php.net)
- Net/Dime (available at http://cvs.php.net)
- SOAP_Google (available at http://www.sebastian-bergmann.de/?page=google)
- Google-Account (free at http://www.google.com/apis/)

installation notes
Make sure that you have the required pear-classes installed. Infos about PEAR are available at http://pear.php.net
If you receive require/include-errors edit websearch.php and add the path to pear.
Edit websearch.php and enter your google-key
Upload websearch.php to your forums-directory
add the 3 templates
create a link to websearch.php where you want

Have fun

edit: If you don?t want getting the pearclasses from cvs, take a look here

get a blank page after submitting the search? read this

want to integrade the google-search into your regular search enginge? look here

BINGO
You have to edit your php.ini file and check include-path.

Very nice *hack* Hotte, thanks

[Hotte]

there is no need to edit the php.ini for the include_path. this is done by the script. but i wonder why a missing pear-class doesn´t produce errors. hmmm

I've been getting some emails, instant messages, etc. from people asking me how I got this to work. Some are asking me how, exactly, I setup the pear/soap/etc. files. All I can say is, I setup all those files exactly as Hotte described earlier with his directory tree diagram, and edited the path to those files into websearch.php, and after that, it worked fine. Make sure the path you put into websearch.php is an absolute path, like /home/accountname/pear, not a URL-type path. That's really all I can say; I can't explain it any better than that, because I followed that tree precisely and followed the other directions precisely, so if I tried to explain how I got it to work for me I'd just be repeating what Hotte has already said. Sorry to anyone else who can't get it to work.

Ok, for all who have problems getting this hack working (blank page after submitting a search):
Download all the required PEAR-Classes at http://pear.php.net or get this attachment.
Upload the pearclasses where you want on your server. I suggest to put them outsite the document-root. After you uploaded the pearclasses, you must have the following structur of you peardirectory:

Make sure you entered the absolut path to the peardirectory in websearch.php. i.e. /www/<your site>/pear (depends on your host). Do not enter an URL (http://.....). Then should all working.

Working flawlessly with search.php, there's no need to have a websearch.php file
Something like:
1st table - Forum Search Engine
2nd table - Search Options
3rd table - Websearch Engine - Powered by Google

[maligno]

could you explain the steps?

[Hotte]

i can explain the steps how to integrate the google-search into the regular search. but for now, i´m enjoying my beer.
