Google Search
v1.5.1
gSearch was originally created for Dream Portal, but I decided to port it to SP. This module allows users to use the google search function, which will redirect you to Google's website. The current version is 1.5.1 and I hope to release v1.6 soon.
Installing is very simple. Just create a new PHP code block and use this code:
/**
Google Search modification by Dr. Deejay

Thanks to Leekoberries
Version 1.5.1
*/
global $txt, $language, $boardurl;
// Create some new variables
$languages = array();
$gsearch = array();
// Show a list of google domains. Forum language stuff...
$gdomain = array(

Enjoy!

1.3.2 released:
! Spanish doesn't exist as a language pack. spanish_es and spanish_latin do.
+ Added support for other languages
! Fixed invalid xHTML
! Don't allow empty search requests
! Fixed security issues
+ Added Google maps support
-
This mod looks interesting, thanks for sharing!
-
Thanks and you're welcome :) Glad you like it :)
-
Might be benefitcal to do this:
$input['searchfor'] = $_POST['q'];
$input['searchfor'] = str_replace(' ', '+', $_POST['q']);
Since Google uses plus signs for spaces, and inputting a space in a URL plainly *might* not work all the time.
-
Thanks, I'll release a new version this afternoon :)
-
Oh, and I forgot to mention. This portion here:
// Make sure we don't have some invalid types
$supported_types = array(
'search' => true,
'images' => true,
'maps' => true
);
You never call this array anywhere, so it doesn't compare to the actual request. You need to check them first, using something such as array_intersect, isset, or other means. I would personally do something like;
// Make sure we don't have some invalid types
$supported_types = array(
'search' => true,
'images' => true,
'maps' => true
);
if (!isset($supported_types[$input['searchin']]))
$input['searchin'] = 'search';
-
Ok, released version 1.3.3, which fixes the security issues. Thanks Leekoberries :)
-
Version 1.4 released!
Changelog:
! Fixed small issues in custom themes based on Core
- Cleaned up the code a bit
+ Added support for Google shopping
! Fixed small mistake
+ Added support for exact results.
! Removed some old code that didn't make sense anymore
+ You can now choose to search on the current site
Enjoy :)
-
I like this.
Can you make it in Dutch ?
-
Glad you like it :) Of course, I might even release a 1.5 version today which includes localization support :)
-
1.5 released!
! Removed useless setting
+ Added localization support
Enjoy :)
-
The onely dutch is search (zoek) ?
-
The default language of your forum should be Dutch, but I might change it to user language in the future. :)
-
1.5.1 released!
+ Added utf8 language file support. It's more like a hack actually, but I'm going to rewrite it in the future anyway
