[Forum] How to search users' threads by prefix?

[bogley]

I'm looking for the search string that can search a certain user's threads he's started that begin with a certain prefix.

I've got bits and pieces, but here's what I'm looking for.

This search string gives me all of that user's posts, but I want threads started with the prefix of "Trip Report".

http://www.bogley.com/forum/search.php?do=finduser&userid=333&starteronly=1&contenttype=vBForum_Thread

here's the same string, non linked:

http://www.bogley.com/forum/search.php?do=finduser&userid=333&starteronly=1&contenttype=vBForum_Thread

So, &userid=333 can somehow be substituted with $userid and I assume the &contenttype=vBForum_Thread needs to be somehow edited or swapped out with &prefixid=Trip_Report but I'm just not getting the right results.

Any help?

Thanks.

Add "&prefixchoice[]=xxx" to the end. xxx is the prefix id you gave it in the admincp (not the actual prefix text).

Thanks for the reply.

So would I put anything in the brackets, or just substitute the xxx? I've tried both and I'm not getting the results I need. Here's my search string, using &prefixchoice[]=Trip_Report

Here's a screenshot of the prefix in admincp



But no matter what variation of the search string I'm trying, I'm just coming up with threads in general that were started by this user, in this case, "jman". It's not returning only the "Trip Report" prefix threads

Whoops, I should have said you need to set contenttype to vBForum_Post, not vBForum_Thread. Otherwise your url is fine.

That worked! Thanks Lynne.
