Better Theme/Mod Searching

[PoLlama]

A feature for mod and theme seraching which would allow us to sort searches by last updated would be great so we could easily see which have recently been changed. Also the version search for themes does not work.

The functionality is there, but there's no interface for it yet.

For the themes site - see http://themes.simplemachines.org/index.php?action=help;sa=search

The mod site search is slightly different...

http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?action=search

Fields (separate everything with semicolons - ie .../index.php?action=search;name=bbcode):

name - something that should be in the name of the mod

description - something that should be in the description of the mod

type[] - a single number or a comma-separated list of numbers corresponding to the different categories - 1 (New Feature), 2 (Feature Enhancement), 3 (Theme), 4 (Buttons and Avatars), 5 (Administration), 6 (BBC), 7 (Attachments), 8 (Permissions), 9 (Posting) or 10 (Profile)

downloads - how many downloads the mod should have. You can limit it to a specific number or add <, >, <= or >= before the number (ie downloads=>=2)

author - either a username or a user ID

smf_versions[] - a number or a comma-separated list of numbers corresponding to SMF versions: 7 (1.0 RC1), 8 (1.0 RC2), 9 (1.0 final), 10 (1.0.1), 11 (1.0.2), 12 (1.0.3), 13 (1.0.4), 14 (1.0.5), 15 (1.1 Beta 3 Public), 16 (1.1 RC1), 17 (1.1 RC2), 18 (1.0.6), 19 (1.0.7), 21 (1.0.8) or 22 (1.1 RC3)

sort (no interface) - what order to sort the mods in. If not specified, mods will be sorted in ascending order according to when they were updated ("desc" will sort them in descending order)

Hope that helps!

It is a bit tricky due to the "require" option - if you choose to require only one field, it will search by the first thing you selected/entered and ignore the rest. If you choose to require all fields, it will search according to everything you selected/entered.
