Miscellaneous Hacks - Quick search pre-populated results: give your visitors quick thread suggestions

Product video demo:

This product integrates with the quicksearch drop down box in NAVBAR; and suggests popular threads while the visitor is typing in search keywords.

Read INSTRUCTIONS.txt for installation instructions.

NOTICE: To fine-tune and configure "relevancy threshold" you must edit /includes/cron/autocomplete-generate.php file. Default installation assumes you have a big discussion forums and suggests only threads which have more than 1000 replies or 1000 views. Edit this number, the query looks like this:

PHP Code:

// This query needs to be customized on a per site basis
$ac_sql = "SELECT * FROM ". TABLE_PREFIX ."thread where threadid between ".$startat." AND ".$endat." AND (views > 1000 OR replycount > 1000) AND visible = '1' ORDER by views DESC";

Does this error mean I don't have Sed on my server or that I have something else disabled on my server?

I was up to the scheduled task part and ran it and got this error:

Warning: system() has been disabled for security reasons in [path]/includes/cron/autocomplete-generate.php on line 21

Warning: system() has been disabled for security reasons in [path]/includes/cron/autocomplete-generate.php on line 22
The file /home/****/***/autocomplete/data_1251514584.txt is not writable

Hi, this looks fantastic --- except it is not working for me. I ran into no problems or errors, but my search box results are unchanged.

Can you take a look please?

You probably need to check permissions on your autocomplete directory, make sure it is owned by the same user as your normal forum directory (ie: www-data), and set to 755.
