Integrate SEARCH results page

[LenB]

I have my forum integrated but is there a way to have my SEARCH results page show the modules also.

You could integrate your search.php file, though that would also integrate the main search page. Alternately, you could edit your search.php file and add some code like this to the top of the file, just below the opening <?php tag:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] = 'showresults')
{
define('VBA_PORTAL', true);
define('VBA_PAGE', 'page_identifier_here');
}

Brian, does this code still work?
I've tried it and my search.php comes up with errors.

[Brian]

As far as I know it does.

I've added it right after the <?php tag and now every time click on search I get this error: Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

PHP Code:

Bleh... Looks like there was a '=' sign missing in the code I posted. Change the first line to this and it should work without a problem.

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'showresults')

Wouldn't the integration be preferable to the file edit, since the edit would have to be done every time there was an update to the forum software?

R'gards,

It would, but currently there is not a way to only integrate certain actions from files, so the file modification is about the only way to make it work.
