I saw there is another post like this, I mean is possible to make the search engine to look also for title and description words??
One member, I read in another post, solved putting back again search.php and search.tpl from version 2.4.
I purchased version 2.5 and now I have 2.6, did someone solved in another way?
No reply :(
May be is not important for all using vshare but I think that a search module that looks only for tags is quite restrictive.
Is there a way to make the search to look also at title and description of the video??
Send an email or a PM to the person who is using the search from 2.4, perhaps he/she is willing to share it or can post the code for it. Would you be so kind as to reference the other thread?
I posted about this in the other thread and also sent a PM to the person who fixed it but have not yet received a reply. Probably doesn't check forums often and/or doesn't have his/her profile set to notify him/her of replies to threads.
Another member was kind enough to share the 2.4 search.php and search.tpl after seeing my post, but I am missing a key part...where the poster said s/he replaced a piece of code somewhere. Didn't say what code and where it goes...that's the part we need.
I tried the search.php and search.tpl and renamed the search_box.tpl but it crashed the script unless I did something wrong and maybe shouldn't have renamed search_box.tpl....I'll try it again.
FYI: The original post I made about moving the search includes the search_box.tpl code from 2.4
Oh hey, it worked, all except searching "groups". I uploaded the old search.php and search.tpl then I took the code from the original post about moving the search box ( the code from the 2.4 search_box.tpl) and inserted it into the new search_box.tpl and the search worked.
Here is the code from the SEARCH.TPL (copy and paste this into a document and call it search.tpl then upload to the templates folder)
Code:<table width=92% align=center border=0>

Next, open search_box.tpl, copy this code and REPLACE everything in the new search_box.tpl (you can also find this code in the thread about how to move the search box) --this does not include the fix for groups search crashing, just comment out or delete the code for the option to search groups)--:
The only thing needed after that is the original search.php which I will send to you.Code:<FORM name=searchForm action="{$baseurl}/search.php" method="get">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align=center>
<tr>
<td height="34"><INPUT class=search_box tabIndex=1 maxLength=128 name="search_id" value="{$smarty.request.search_id}"></td>

</SELECT>
</td>
<td width="10"></td>
<td><input type=image src="{$baseurl}/templates/images/search.gif" width="90" height="20"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</FORM>
Perfect! I write you my email via PM, would you be so kind to send me the file pls?
I sent you an email already through the PM function, will send file as soon as possible.
Since the search.tpl comes from v2.4 it needs a little work to look right with 2.6, which is what I'm working on right now.
Ok, files are on the way. I sent you the search.php, the search.tpl and search_box.tpl. I'm sending you the search.tpl as I have it modified to work better with 2.6. The 2.4 version was kinda messed up (thumbs didn't have spaces between them and the text was squashed up against the thumbs...I fixed that). I also fixed the search_box.tpl by taking out the option for "groups", which doesn't work.
I will include this somewhere on my skins site for free download for anybody else who wants it.
Here's an update for y'all...the original 2.4 uses the OLD timer code, so you'll want to remove the "sort by relevance" menu part. There's a lot of tweaking that needs to be done to the search.tpl, just to warn you. Personally, my sites aren't busy enough to warrant worrying about it so I haven't gone out of my way on this one, but I know others are working diligently at it. If anybody has a working search and wants to share, please email me and I'll post your "fix" at webgeek-design.com vshare templates and give you full credit.
Hello, I've just modified again search.tpl now both runtime and rating are working properly.
Let me know... :)
I'll post the new files to the site for download if anybody wants it.
please share the files.Quote:
