SQL search error

[tupeu]

Hi, i get emails on my server about SQL errors with vBadvanced Links Directory

My server is a VPS running on Fedora 7
I use vBulletin 3.8.2

It seems when a search is done there is an SQL error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.2:

Invalid SQL:

                        SELECT links.linkid
                        FROM adv_links AS links
                       
                       
                        WHERE ( MATCH(links.name) AGAINST ('+linux*' IN BOOLEAN MODE) OR MATCH(links.description) AGAINST ('+linux*' IN BOOLEAN MODE) OR MATCH(links.keywords) AGAINST ('+linux*' IN BOOLEAN MODE)) AND  links.valid = 1
                ORDER BY links.rating ASC LIMIT 500;

MySQL Error   : Unknown column 'links.rating' in 'order clause'
Error Number  : 1054

Thank you for pointing this out. It looks like there was a small issue that could occur when searching tags if you have your 'Default Links Order' option set to 'Rating'. I've just updated the links/search.php file in the download package here to include the fix, so if you will download the files again and upload that file to your server over the existing one, that should take care of the issue.
