[SMF 1.1.12 / TP 1.0 RC 1] Search function doesn't include articles/downloads

Link to my site: http://forum.lum-chan.com
SMF version: SMF 1.1.12
TP version: TP 1.0RC1
Default Forum Language: English
Theme name and version: Default with color variation
Browser Name and Version: Firefox 3.6.13
Mods installed: No mods for TP itself...
Related Error messages: none

When I'm searching from my forum, the search function only searches the forum but it doesn't include articles and downloads which are inside TinyPortal. Is there a way to get this working? It looks a bit overdone to have 3 pages each for searching a part of the website.

The nicest would be a search form/page in which you can select what to search for (or include just all of TP articles, downloads and SMF forum. Maybe like a sort of mod for TP and/or SMF?

Any thoughts on this?

Try saving this code in a left or right block ...

Code Select Expand


echo '
<b><a href=http://YourSite.com/index.php?action=search>Search Forum</b></a>';
echo '
<b><hr><a href=http://YourSite.com/index.php?action=tpmod;sa=searcharticle>Search Articles</b></a>';
echo '
<b><hr><a href=http://YourSite.com/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=search>Search Downloads</b></a>';


So, for your site, it would be ...

Code Select Expand


echo '
<b><a href=http://forum.lum-chan.com/index.php?action=search>Search Forum</b></a>';
echo '
<b><hr><a href=http://forum.lum-chan.com/index.php?action=tpmod;sa=searcharticle>Search Articles</b></a>';
echo '
<b><hr><a href=http://forum.lum-chan.com/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=search>Search Downloads</b></a>';


If it doesn't work, post back.

I'd rather not alter SMF's search function to be honest. But it would be nice if there was an easy way to do it.

I got this working, thanks to your code-snippets.
I'll check the SMF site again to find out more and/or a more suitable solution ie. mod or something in the request section (is it's there, that is).

Fiddling with the code of SMF for searging isn't my favorite too 

I'll keep you informed here

Also VERY interested in this subject. What would be useful for me, and could halfway solve this problem, is if there was an option to let new articles create a forum post.

That snippet logs me off for some reason.

Ok I had to keep the "www" in there... but now that it works, it still doesn't work.

I mean it doesn't return any results where it should.
