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.

Yes sir he was getting the error as well.

Appears the hack is running correctly on my site...crons have run and cleaned up the search table...No errors showing.

Well done my friend, I will followup is any other issues arise

More information to add...

I would recommed those running RC2 go into the ACP and select 'scheduled tasks' Once in there, go to manage and attempt to run some of the tasks manually. If you receive an error, do not panic...

go into your admincp/cronadmin.php

Find

PHP Code:

$db = null; 


Replace With

PHP Code:

unset($db); 


Save and you should be good to go!!!

RC3 should have this fixed.

I forgot all about that. That's why my cron was running. I changed that a while back when they first found it. I'm sorry I didn't think of that, Mike. Duh on me.

[dieselpowered]

Its no problem my friend...I am watching the logs to see if they are running at the correct time.

Have a great one!

FYI, Hourly Cleanup #1 just ran, searches are still being shown...I will report back after #2 runs

[dieselpowered]

Ok hourly cleanup #2 has not removed the searches, they are still showing.

I am curious if there is another cron that does this??

[dieselpowered]

I guess Hourly Cleanup #1 is supposed to remove the info in this table, however, it did not on the first run...However, on the second it did???

[Boofo]

The hack is working fine. I wouldn't worry about the cron removing the searches. The longer they are there, the better, right?

[john_robot]

I have a question The searches only can see to admin or is there any way to activate it public too??
