Redirecting empty search queries

Neticus · 01-03-2006

When the search button is pressed without any keywords it returns a list of all the featured listings. Where is the code that directs this so that I may direct it to the index page instead?

Thnks

Anybody???? All i need is the name of the file and in that file i presume there is a url code i'll be able to change?

clubracer · 02-21-2006

you found a workaround on that?

on my phpld it shows all the regular links, this is going to bring me in trouble when i get more then 25 links, the page will be way too large.

a redirect to the index page (with an empty search query) will do the job.

Neticus · 02-21-2006

No, but like you i need it for v3.02 Ive posted query in supporters forum :)

clubracer · 02-21-2006

good job!

Hello!

This is just a quick fix!

Edit index.php and find the following code line:

Code:

require_once 'init.php';

It's the first line of code, just right after the the looong comment.

Insert this right after the found line:

Code:

if(empty($_REQUEST['q'])) {
   unset($_REQUEST['q']);
}

I suggest you also stop searches for a keyword shorter than 3 chars. This can cause problems on huge databases.
Let's say you search for "a" or "ar", this can find to many results and your allowed memory will be in short time exhausted. But you can now search for "art" that is allowed by the script and you'll find some results.

Code:

if(empty($_REQUEST['q']) || strlen($_REQUEST['q']) < 3) {
   unset($_REQUEST['q']);
}

Just my 2 cents :wink:

Boby, it is because of you and the work you do for this site together with the main man that I am proud to be part of phplinkdirectory. You do things without question, you should be proud of yourself. Well done mate.

Good luck with the exams, and how did the maths one go! Bet it was easy :lol:

Kev

P.S. Almost all on my own I got the front page looking as I wanted, it was your hint that helped. :wink:

Thank you, again! Well, I really like this script and if I am helping to develop this, I want it to run for all of our users.

Hi Boby, sad you failed the first. The icons only work with the 'enable re-write set to yes'

I've also found a problem with the links, In for example there are more than 23 links yet when you click on 'next' it reverts to the first page even though it reads in the browser bar.

I will post on the forum for you and for others so that at least one of you will find the fix.

Cheers, and good luck.

Hi,

Well, for starters, look at the date when this mod was made. (e.g. PRE 3.04)

secondly, you *are* returning results as per what your pagination says (25 links currently)

What you have to do if modify your main.tpl to recognize the search.

if you read the 'readme.txt' that came with the upgrade, you'll see in there that Boby has given detail as to what's changed, and what variables have been change too.

give that a good look over and see what you can come up with.

crawlr · 05-18-2006

Yes I knew it was pre 3.0.4. but someone else mentioned it worked w/ 3.0.2. I'm not very "code savvy" -- has anyone else updated this mod?
