Hello

I was looking for a mod to search subcategories and i found one in the resources section of this site. ( http://josereffoios.virtualave.net/links/search_subc.txt )

the code replaces

--------------------------------------------------
# If we have a hit, add it in!
if (($or_match && $match) or $andmatch) {
push (@{$link_results{$values[$db_category]}}, @values);
$numhits++; # We have a match!
}
---------------------------------------------------

in search.cgi with

####################################################

# Split Categories and sub Categories into two different variables
($subcat1,$subcat2) = split(/\//, $values[$db_category]);

# do the same for the form's hidden value (category or subcateg name)
($subcat3,$subcat4) = split(/\//, $in{'thiscat'});

# check what type of category is and define what the search criteria will be
if ($subcat4) {$subcat1 = $values[$db_category];}

if ($in{'thiscat'})
{
if ($subcat1 eq $in{'thiscat'})
{
# If we have a hit, add it in!
if (($or_match && $match) or $andmatch) {
push (@{$link_results{$values[$db_category]}}, @values);
$numhits++; # We have a match!
}
}
}

else
{
# If we have a hit, add it in!
if (($or_match && $match) or $andmatch) {
push (@{$link_results{$values[$db_category]}}, @values);
$numhits++; # We have a match!
}
}

The problem is this mod only searchs down 2 levels, how can i modify this mod to search all subcategories?

Thanks bye

Hi,
Did anyone come up with any solution for this?

Thank you.

Nope...doesn't look like it...You could try using the Language Links subcategory search Mod, but I found that it did not work well at all with the vanilla installation of Links 2.0.
