BoardTracker Search Mod - Version 2

This search hack replaces the built in vb search with boardtracker search and results are fully integrated with your board. Search results can be threads from your board or all boards or a select group of boards - your choice!

Once installed, search from the search box on any page will pull results from boardtracker and display them within your board. 'Advanced Search' can still link to the existing vb search script or you can disable or restrict access to specific users (ie. admins, mods, paying members etc).

Results can be formated in any way you want with some simple template variables.

Options control panel allows you to easily switch the boardtracker search mod on or off so you can switch between boardtracker and vb search whenever you want.

The following configuration options/defaults exist:

Switch search on/off

Switch 'safe filter' on/off

Switch global search option on/off

Board ID - you can limit search to just your board, or several boards you choose or ALL boards indexed by boardtracker.

Category ID - you can define a category on boardtracker and searches will only pull results from that category.

Default Sort Order - you can sort results by relevancy or by post date.

Default Search Scope - results can be limited to last day, week, month, year or all time.

Default Search Query - a search term that will be executed whenever the boardtracker search script is called directly with no params.

Find Posts By User - replace the search links on user profiles and postbits.

Internal vB Search Allowed Usergroups - specify which usergroups are allowed to still use the built in vb search (search.php) and redirect all others to the bt search (searchbt.php). Leave empty to allow all users to still access search.php


User selections on the search form override the defaults.

The mod is very easy to install and consists of 1 php script to upload, 1 product xml file to install, 1 simple template edit plus some optional template edits. The xml product file creates one new template, an options panel and a few phrases.

You can see a demo here which has the search set to another board for demo purposes (since there are no actual posts on the demo board to search )

If your board is not yet indexed by BoardTracker, make sure to submit it!


## New features in version 2..

Well for one thing it takes away all the server load problems normally caused by the internal search. This is the reason why several very large boards are already using this mod now.

Also it provides a real search engine for your board which provides more relevant results and more search options while allowing you to keep the internal search in parallel if you choose, so you lose nothing and gain additional functionality.

Edit:
Made a small change to searchbt.php which should fix that issue although I wasn't able to reproduce the error on my test installation. To upgrade, just upload the latest (2.0.2) searchbt.php and that should be it. Let me know how it goes.

Downloaded today's build (just setting up new board) and got:

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /searchbt.php on line 76
Different line than the other guy

What do you think it is?
