 |
|
I have a few questions about the customizations that have been made to the forum.
1) Glance: how have you reduced the fields/columns shown in the list? I can't seem to find an explanation - just people saying they have done it - [FIXED] you need to edit the template glance_body.tpl
2) How/Why does the gentoo forums plugin for firefox return results with AND enabled and by threads rather than posts? Have you hacked search.php to make this a default? I am quite sure it is not the plugin itself that controls this.
Many thanks

I don't really know which plugin you are talking about, but we have changed some of the default settings (such as enabling AND) on the search page, maybe that affects the plugin?

Hello,
I'm refering to the firefox gentoo forum searchplugin listed here - as far as I can tell there are no special commands in the plugin that effect the results display - so I assume the changes must be in search.php - is it possible to have a list of those changes?

For 2), have a look at this patch for an older version of phpbb:
| Code: | --- ../phpBB/search.php 2005-03-19 12:17:58.000000000 +0100
+++ search.php 2005-04-23 18:56:45.000000000 +0200
@@ -69,7 +69,8 @@
$search_id = ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['search_id']) ) ?
$HTTP_GET_VARS['search_id'] : '';
-$show_results = ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['show_results']) ) ?
$HTTP_POST_VARS['show_results'] : 'posts';
+$show_results = ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['show_results']) ) ?
$HTTP_GET_VARS['show_results'] : 'topics';
+$show_results = ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['show_results']) ) ?
$HTTP_POST_VARS['show_results'] : 'topics';
$show_results = ($show_results == 'topics') ? 'topics' : 'posts';
if ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['search_terms']) ) |
Don't use it this way however: | myself wrote: |
Thinking on it, "topics" shouldn't be default as it would affect
search.php?search_author=<user> which is used by the "show all posts from"
button. |
I think you get the idea.

Well, we could have two search.phps - one would be the regular one for the site and search2.php could be used by the firefox plugin to always sort by threads - I am still have problems with an AND search by default tho - that is the main problem - 100 results for the word "is" is no good for anyone!

I'm currently working on a new search engine. I don't think we will make any changes to the existing one because it will become obsolete soon. (As well as the browser plugin.)
