Show a forums parent in search..

[benFF]

In the search results to the far right where a posts forum is listed, would it be possible to change it to list : parent > forum

Reason I ask, I run a car forum (www.fiatforum.com) and we have the same 3 categories for each car (General, Technical & Styling)

Ie:

Bravo
> General
> Technical
> Styling

Punto
> General
etc etc.

Your search results however only give you the last bit, which means you aren't sure which car you are looking at unless you actually click the post (not ideal)... Is this a simple thing, or will it require a lot of work?

Thanks,

Ben

Can no one help? We even have the same problem on here If something is in 'Modification Requests' you dont know which vb its for unless you load it up...

Someone somewhere must have fixed this!!

I need this mod too, I'm sure its something simple that can be done to the search.php file.

I would love it too - however I dont think its as easy as it might appear.

Well I just had a look in the search.php to see if i could add it .... hmmm .... not sure which query is which...

In reality though, all it needs is a single join on the forum_parentid to get the name of the parent... if there is no parent, it's obviously top level, but if there is - then it can display this....

I know this is a year-old thread (since it was last posted in), but I thought I'd bump it because I'm looking to do the same thing (also for a car forum).

Any ideas?
