Unanswered Threads

[Reverend]

Looking for a hack that would show "Unanswered Threads" via a link,similar to the Virgin topics "hackette" that was made for vB2x.
I'm currently using a link suggested by KirbyDE

/search.php?do=process&replyless=1&replylimit=0

but this still shows some answered threads.

I presume some code needs to be added to search.php or global.php for this to function correctly

Thanks.

I think the problem is that vB caches search results for up to 1 day.
So if there are answers within this time the threads will be displayed.

One solution to avoid this could be

In search.php FIND

PHP Code:

$url = "search.php?$session[sessionurl]searchid=$searchid";
eval(print_standard_redirect('search')); 


REPLACE that with

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['dontcache'])
  $url = "search.php?$session[sessionurl]searchid=$searchid&dontcache=1";
else
  $url = "search.php?$session[sessionurl]searchid=$searchid";
eval(print_standard_redirect('search')); 


Still in search.php FIND

PHP Code:

// add to the navbits
 $navbits[''] = $vbphrase['search_results']; 


ADD above that

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST[dontcache])
  $DB_site->query("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "search WHERE searchid='$searchid'"); 


With this modification it should work, just append &dontcache=1 to the link.

You mean add that to this link at the end?

/search.php?do=process&replyless=1&replylimit=0

[Andreas]

Yep.

[Boofo]

Is there a way to get the amount of unanswered threads from this, too?

I can't find this:

$navbits .= construct_navbits(array('' => $vbphrase['search_results'])); 


The nearest i found was

// add to the navbits
 $navbits[''] = $vbphrase['search_results'];

on line 1949

Hmm ... I wonder why I took code from Beta 7 - lol.
Corrected.

Strange,its still showing a couple of threads with replies.
