Supported browsers

Demo
====================
http://www.montadaphp.net
right under the logo

How to Install
==============
1- Add the following code to the end of ur "headinclude" template:

<script type="text/javascript">
/***********************************************
* Drop Down/ Overlapping Content- ? Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice must stay intact for legal use.
* Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
***********************************************/
function getposOffset(overlay, offsettype){
var totaloffset=(offsettype=="left")? overlay.offsetLeft : overlay.offsetTop;
var parentEl=overlay.offsetParent;
while (parentEl!=null){
totaloffset=(offsettype=="left")? totaloffset+parentEl.offsetLeft : totaloffset+parentEl.offsetTop;
parentEl=parentEl.offsetParent;
}
return totaloffset;
}
function overlay(curobj, subobjstr, opt_position){
if (document.getElementById){
var subobj=document.getElementById(subobjstr)
subobj.style.display="block"
var xpos=getposOffset(curobj, "left")+((typeof opt_position!="undefined" && opt_position.indexOf("right")!=-1)? -(subobj.offsetWidth-curobj.offsetWidth) : 0) 
var ypos=getposOffset(curobj, "top")+((typeof opt_position!="undefined" && opt_position.indexOf("bottom")!=-1)? curobj.offsetHeight : 0)
subobj.style.left=xpos+"px"
subobj.style.top=ypos+"px"
return false
}
else
return true
}

function overlayclose(subobj){
document.getElementById(subobj).style.display="none"
}
var xmlHttp3 
function showHint(word) 
{ 
document.getElementById('search_results').innerHTML = '<p></p><p></p><p align="center" class="smallfont"><img src="images/progress.gif" />Searching..</p>';
    xmlHttp3=GetXmlHttpObject3() 
    if (xmlHttp3==null) 
    { 
        alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request") 
        return 
    } 
    var url="ajax_search.php" 
    url=url+"?query="+word 
    xmlHttp3.onreadystatechange=stateChanged3 
    xmlHttp3.open("GET",url,true) 
    xmlHttp3.send(null) 
} 

function stateChanged3() 
{ 
    if (xmlHttp3.readyState==4 || xmlHttp3.readyState=="complete") 
    { 
        document.getElementById("search_results"). innerHTML='<div align="left"><a href="#" onClick="overlayclose(\'search_results\'); return false">x</a></div>'+xmlHttp3.responseText; 
return overlay(this, 'search_results')
    } 
} 

function GetXmlHttpObject3() 
{ 
    var objXMLHttp3=null 
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) 
    { 
        objXMLHttp3=new XMLHttpRequest() 
    } 
    else if (window.ActiveXObject) 
    { 
        objXMLHttp3=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") 
    } 
    return objXMLHttp3 
}
</script>

2- Add the following code wherever you want the search field to appear, for me i added to the "header" template exactly under the logo:

<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
Live search <input type="text" name="query" size="25" class="header_search_field" onkeyup="showHint(this.value)" />
</form>
<div id="search_results" class="smallfont" style="position:absolute; border: 2px solid orange; color:blue; background-color: white; width: 300px; padding: 8px; display:none;overflow:auto; height:200px">
<div align="left"><a href="#" onClick="overlayclose('search_results'); return false">x</a></div>
</div>

3- Upload the contents of folder "Upload" to ur froum's home directory.

and u r done

hmmmm

I have a major problem with this hack as it stands

When I login as a registered member and do a search it shows thread titles for private forums. This could be somewhat embarrassing

It won't allow you to view the thread, but some titles are enough to get you in trouble..
..if you know what I mean

Too bad it only searches Thread titles...

How many queries does your site currently have to load up the search screens? All together I would bet that there would be less with this system.

I think most people would find a thread they like in the first five to ten characters. That would probably be about even without having this but this is much easier.

One thing he could add to this would be a limit on key strokes option in the admin area. That would keep someone from causing too many queries.

Ah I see what your saying now. Well with the description of the hack you have up does it no justice. So basically as soon as you type a character it starts searching from the character Pretty neat. I'll wait for the bugs to be worked out.

Can I excluding specify forum for search result?

ordinary search needs 10+ queries to be done
this needs only 1 query..
so i think it is not excessive at all

No it is not showing thread titles unless user can see it
the Mod is using the same user validation functions as the original search module do

again searching posts will cause too much load on the mysql server
and i dont like to do so

of course u can
edit the file ajax_search.php
find

PHP Code:

(0 $excludelist) 


replace with

PHP Code:

(0, $forumnum1, $forumnum2 $excludelist) 


Regards for all

[Quantnet]

why you put progress.gif under/images/

You should have put it under some folder like /misc/ and updated the code accordingly.
