New Blogs/Comments in Forum Search Results
Developer Last Online: Oct 2023
This add-on will include recent blogs and blog comments in your forums search results - This includes "New Posts" and "Today's Posts" results...
Options Maximum number of search results to return Maximum age of comments/blogs to be included in search results Limitations There is no tracking of if a blog has been read or not - if a blog/comment fits in with the above criteria it will be displayed in the search results whether it has been read or not. This can probably be coded in by a more experienced coder than myself - any assistance appreciated. Although I like the extra exposure the blogs get from this so it is not an issue for me. Version History 0.0.1 - Initial release - marked beta until I get some feedback. 0.0.2 - added table prefixes to query 0.0.3 - added table prefixes to query - again :erm: 0.0.4 - fixed the query causing issues on DBs with table prefixes (Confirmed working now) 0.0.5 - removed title tags from listings till I get time to fix issue with title breaking display 0.0.6 - fixed links in results to link to blogs/blogs/comments in the same way search results link to forums/threads/posts 0.0.7 - fixed broken image link, removed errant "<" 0.0.8 - Added fix where blog drafts were showing up in searches as per this post by KrisP 0.0.9 - Now only shows the latest comment from each blog 0.0.9a - Fixed but in 0.0.9 0.0.9b - Fixed date time display to be consistent with rest of forum 0.0.10 - Fixed small bug which sjhows on some systems as per this post by entertain 0.0.11 - Fixed bug where pending blogs were being displayed as per this post by jibi Dependencies You must have vBulletin Blogs Installed Installation Instructions 1. Install Product File 2. Add a single line to your search_results template as below: Edit your "search_results" template search for: Code:

<br />$blogsinsrch There is another work around HERE which offers an alternative way to integrate blogs with Forum search results... Extra Notes To only show new blogs/comment since last visit (in much teh same way as "New Posts" works) see Post Number 41 of this thread For a vBAdvanced module of this add-on, see Post Number 83 Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support

To make this show on Forumhome rather than in search results:
1. Install product 2. Edit the Add Blogs to Search Page plugin and change it's Hook Location from search_start to forumhome_start 3. Edit your FORUMHOME template and insert the text $blogsinsrch where you want the blogs search results to show. (probably just before <!-- what's going on box -->or after <!-- end what's going on box -->) that's it. If you wish it to show in search results AND FORUMHOME, you will need to create a new plugin on forumhome_start with teh same contents as the Add Blogs to Search Page plugin Hope this helps |

Please consider to make this into a vbadvanced module, so that we are able to display latest blogs/comments on vbadvanced pages.

It works like a charm. Many thanks! This really adds to the integration of the blog with the rest of my site.
I wish we had the same for group comments. Would you consider looking into this? |

Received the same database error with vb 3.7.4

/images/buttons/lastpost.gif should be the full url, otherwise it will not display on pages located outside the /forum/ directory.
I edited the plugin myself, but thought this might be useful for others. |
