Search Focus Dropdown

[kai920]

Minor update: installation support for SMF 1.1.10 and 2.0RC1.2.
See the mod link in the first post.

Thanks Brett. If your mod was already working on my 2.0 RC1.2, do I need to update?

[Brettflan]

There's no need, the only changes were to allow installation/uninstallation on those newer versions. Nothing within the mod itself was changed.

[kai920]

Sounds great. Thanks!

Can the mod be extended to work on article pages SP 2.2.3 or custom pages generated or the Dozen page mod? I have lots of content thats not in the forum that would be great for search focus.

Thx, +EV

With a bit of work, sure. I posted a rough outline of how to do something like that back here.

Code Select Expand

$txt['search_scope_topic'] = 'Keresés a topikban';
$txt['search_scope_board'] = 'Keresés a témában';
$txt['search_scope_all'] = 'Keresés a teljes fórumban';

Hi there,

I've tried several modifications with our forums default theme "Implied", but couldnt make visible Search Dropdown.
I've read through all your previous hints, but as I'm not professional, with no success. With the SMF default theme everything works all right.
So Brettflan, pls. help me. 

The easiest way I can post you the index.template.php of implied, and the access to our forum.
Thnks in advance.

[Brettflan]

I checked your site but it appears to require an account to see anything in the actual forum. I tried registering but the CAPTCHA image wasn't showing up and the audio clip for it just played the same thing each time ("FTRFD", which didn't work).
To be clear, you should normally  only see the dropdown on board views and topic views, not the index page. Since you use Simple Portal (which I have no experience with), I don't think it will show up on board views either; somebody else mentioned earlier in the topic that the Simple Portal removes the search box completely from board views.

[hustreamload]

Thnx.

I've sent you a user acc and pass for viewing ur forum in PM.
Though we have Simple portal, in theme SMF Deafult everything works OK, also with simple portal.

User/pass with default theme Implied:

User/pass with SMF Default Theme:

At the top of the site, under the main buttons click on "Magyar Streamload Fórum - Hungarian Streamload Forum " to see the forum. If you login as piamat, you will see the SMF Default theme, and in any borad and topic you can see the Search Dropdown. In Implied nothing.....

[Brettflan]

OK, got it, you can remove that login info.
It does appear that the "Implied" theme has the search boxes completely removed for whatever reason. Based on that, I don't really know what to tell you other than to contact the theme author about it. If the search boxes actually existed, I could probably help you with integration.

EDIT: otherwise, their may be some option in Simple Portal to add the search box back in as a module or something; I say this from having briefly worked with a couple of other CMS systems, but again I have no experience with Simple Portal or how its admin interface works.

[hustreamload]

Thnx a lot.

In that case I try to ask both team. When we find any solution, I will write about it also here.

I just checked the demo site for that theme and it doesn't appear to have a search box at the top at all. So, nothing is there to be modified.

Released version 1.4:

• support for SMF 2.0 RC2 and Curve theme
• additional theme support for Antechinus' Prince of Darkness, Blue Steel, and Chocolate Curvaceous variants
• added built-in French language support

[Brettflan]

Released version 1.41:

• improved theme support for Antechinus' Prince of Darkness, Blue Steel, and Chocolate Curvaceous variants (looked a bit funky, oops)

Basically, the dropdown was showing below the search box on those 3 themes, which looked odd. It now shows to the right of the search box in those themes.
That'll teach me not to double check before release; it displayed correctly on the RC2 Charter releases of those themes, but not the RC2 Public releases. Oops. 

So, if you're not using any of those 3 themes, don't bother updating. If you are using one or more of them, you should uninstall the 1.4 version of the mod and then install the new 1.41.

[Captain351]

You need to update the package for 1.1.11

[Brettflan]

Released version 1.42:

• minor: installation support for SMF 1.1.11

In other words, not a necessary download unless you're installing on 1.1.11.

I've installed this on 2.0 RC2 but there is no effect. The dropdown does not appear on my board list, my topic list or the actuals threads.

I'm customizing a copy of the Curve theme. All the files checked and installed 'successfully' so what might the problem be?

I have the following mods installed:
Karma Description Mod
TopicCountOnDisplay
cb1, 1.0
Last Post On Memberlist
Last Active On Memberlist
Footnotes

[Brettflan]

Did you install it to your customized copy of the Curve theme (I assume it's separate from the main Curve theme)?

It works on the topic list and thread pages when I switch the forum theme back to SMF Default Theme - Curve.

What can I do to determine what theme it installs on? Do I need to manually parse it?
