I have searched the entired links section, does anyone know if there is a search only MOD for 2.0? I cant seem to find one.

Glad you made that point, I use templates as well. Thanks!

Yes, there is one from CEGlobe

Thiago Moretti

Ok, any idea who they are or how I can get it?????? Thanks

Ok. open search.cgi

Add

if ($in{'category'}){
($in{'category'} eq $values[$db_category]) or next LINE;
}


under

$db_file_name. Reason: $!");
flock (DB, 1) if ($db_use_flock);
LINE: while (<DB> ) {
/^#/ and next LINE; # Skip comment Lines.
/^\s*$/ and next LINE; # Skip blank lines.
chomp; # Remove trailing new line.
@values = &split_decode($_);
$grand_total++;


Then open site_html.pl

Under site_html_category, add

<select name=category>
<option selected value=>all of site
<option value="$category_name">just this category</select>

That's it.

Thanks a million!

For templates here is the code but it still does not search deep in directories:

Instead of:


in site_html.pl under site_html_category

--------------------------------------------

Add this code in category.html :


In between:


Thanks to socrates for pointing out the error...

Anyone have any ideas why it is not searching deep in directories?

elms,

Do you mean, site_heml_templates.pl? I understand site_html.pl is irrelevant, if you are using templates.

socrates,

Yes, I mean site_html_templates.pl . site_html.pl is referring to the file that the original mod was referring to.

sorry for the confusion...modified the post to separate it...

Hope it makes sense now...

Sorry I didn't get where to put the code.
Here is what I got edit the site_html_templates.pl goto the and add the code:
<select name=category>
<option selected value=>all of site <option value="$category_name">just this category</select>

but where do put the code?? What section of the site_html_templates.pl

Thanks
Evan

computel,

if you are using templates you need to insert the code in category.html . if you are using site_html.pl you need to follow what tmoretti said.

example:

This search mod does not search deep in directory structure.

Thank You - elms and the gang. There is a small mistake in the code elms posted above. A greater than sign is missing for closing the tag. For those who might need, here is the complete code for templates. Paste it in "category.html"

<!-- Search Bar -->
<form action="<%db_cgi_url%>/search.cgi" method="GET">
<h2>Search</h2>
<div class="margin">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td><strong class="search">Looking for something in particular?</strong></td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="text" size=20 name="query">
<select name="category">
<option selected value="">Entire site
<option value="<%category_name%>">This category</select>
<input type=submit value="Search!"></td></tr>
<tr><td><small class="more"><a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/search.cgi">More search options</a></small></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
</form>

Thanks Socrates,

Too close to another greater than sign. That's all it was. I guess I have seen my templates way too long to catch that. Fixed the original post now.

Webking,

On your site you must be using templates are editing category.html. You are posting code in your site_html.pl and it does not match what you have on your site. You must modify category.html and follow the templates instructions. Though no one got back to the response that it does not search deeper in subcats, I am sure someone will reply.

If you want to use site_html.pl paste the code that socrates last posted and replace all:

<%variable%> with $variable.
