Flitterkill Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This just searches topic titles right? Link to comment
Richey Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 By now it only searches topic titles - Correct. Link to comment
TeamJesus Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 brought it, installed it, not working, instead of search results it goes ahead and shows my header and menu/s really weird, not a happy chappy Link to comment
Richey Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 I am sorry, there was a little bug ... I fixed it! Please deinstall the hook and download / install the new version. If it works - please let me know! Regards. Link to comment
TeamJesus Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 there we go it all works now yay!! thank you for the quick up date, quick question could i use this to replace the default ipboard search? ( the one up in the header and say a pop window pops up with a search results ) thank you! Link to comment
Richey Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thank you for helping me, finding the bugs :) I will add a lot more features with the next version. Link to comment
Bernabe Guerra Jr. Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm wondering if it only searches for topic titles only or does it also search for key words inside of the topic and/or attachment files. I would also like for it to have a feature of using it through out the entire IP.Board, i.e. downloads, galleries, etc.. Ben Link to comment
Richey Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hi Ben, like I said, there will be more features soon. When I am sure that this version is stable, I continue adding features. Thank you for your opinions. Regards. Link to comment
TrekkiemonsterUK Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I love the idea of this. Great work. I have one question. Is it possible to display it in the sidebar? Keep up the great work! Link to comment
Richey Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thank you very much. By now the search will be displayed on top of your forum categories. I will add more display options soon so that you can display it on specific pages - but I don't promise that the hook will have sidebar support :unsure: Regards. Link to comment
aiven Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Does it work with 3.3.3 ? Someone tested ? ———————————————————— Edit: I took the risk and bought it. It's not working correctly. Jquery is already included on my board and No matter if I click "include jquery" or not, it doesn't change anything. The bug: no results are displayed, no matter what you type.

Richey Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hi Aiven, Thank you. have you uploaded the php file to your "public" folder? And can you tell me (via pm) if you using a prefix in your MySQL database? Link to comment
Richey Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 UPDATE: The hook had a problem with Table Prefixes. Please download the updated version and replace the php file with the new one on your server. Then it should work. Link to comment
Poison Light Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I like your idea, however your implantation looks a little bit strange to me. Why not prototype and ajax? That would make it even easier for you. So imho the implantation is bad (sorry :P) But overall a good hook and addition for my board. Thanks! Link to comment
Richey Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Hi Edgar, nice to hear that you like the hook :) I never used Prototype and IPB 4.0 will finally use jQuery, so I don't see a reason why using Prototype. Furthermore I am very new to developing IPB hooks, so the implantation will (hopefully) get better in the future ;) Link to comment
Poison Light Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Ok, i just tried some things but your hook is not safe to use. People can easily change the hidden values via inspect element. Link to comment
Richey Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 So? Even if someone would do so, the string gets "secured" in the second file. Link to comment
Poison Light Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 So? Even if someone would do so, the string gets "secured" in the second file. Are you talking about the als_search.php? I don't see any permission checks there. Link to comment
Richey Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 I really don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you can describe more specific why it is unsafe and how someone could abuse it. Link to comment
Poison Light Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I really don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you can describe more specific why it is unsafe and how someone could abuse it. Ok. You defined the searchable topics in the hidden value (Which can be edited by everyone via inspect elements). People can change which forums they want to see via the live search. Even hidden forums (Think about a forum only for administrators, moderators etc.) So they can get the topics in the hidden forums. Not a big problem, but what if you include secret information in the topic title? Hidden input > GET Parameter > Your PHP file > Query.. without any checks. Link to comment
Richey Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 You have to submit POST variables to the php file. There are no GET variables. Did you successfully test what you are Talking about? And dont get me wrong. I am interessted. Link to comment
Poison Light Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 You have to submit POST variables to the php file. There are no GET variables. Did you successfully test what you are Talking about? And dont get me wrong. I am interessted. Not tested, but i am almost sure. I don't see checks for the forum permissions I am talking about these forum permissions: So if they change the hidden value "WHERE forum_id IN ( $forum_ids )" will also be changed. Hopefully you understand me now :P Link to comment
