[Forum] Change search function

[JabirA]

Hi All,

I would like to change the searchbox (top-right box) with the tags search box. Is there a easy way to do this?

Kind regards,
Jabir

No. It will require quite a bit of coding and better discussed in vBulletin.org

However, interesting idea. I might give it a try myself.

[JabirA]

I thought so, could you maybe help with that? ;$ (on vb.org)

[Riasat]

When I will get the time, I will try it myself. If I do it, I'll be happy to share the code.

Hi CvP,

The solution seems to be very simple. In navbar search for:

[COLOR=#FF8000]<form action=[COLOR=#0000FF]"search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=process"[/COLOR] method=[COLOR=#0000FF]"post"[/COLOR] id=[COLOR=#0000FF]"navbar_search"[/COLOR] class=[COLOR=#0000FF]"navbar_search"[/COLOR]>[/COLOR]

Below it you see:

[COLOR=#FF8000]<input type=[COLOR=#0000FF]"text"[/COLOR] value=[COLOR=#0000FF]""[/COLOR] name=[COLOR=#0000FF]"query"[/COLOR] class=[COLOR=#0000FF]"textbox"[/COLOR] tabindex=[COLOR=#0000FF]"99"[/COLOR]/>[/COLOR]

Replace that with:

[COLOR=#FF8000]<input type=[COLOR=#0000FF]"text"[/COLOR] value=[COLOR=#0000FF]""[/COLOR] name=[COLOR=#0000FF]"tag"[/COLOR] class=[COLOR=#0000FF]"textbox"[/COLOR] tabindex=[COLOR=#0000FF]"99"[/COLOR]/>[/COLOR]

Kind regards,
Jabir

Does the tag autocomplete work too?

[JabirA]

Not it doesn't. But I don't find that usefull anyway...

[Riasat]

ah...in my mind, that was the most important things to have if tag search is to be put in there.
