Landing page for search results

Hi,

I'm really hoping that someone can help me with a problem the users of my website have complained about, is there anyway that when a user searches for members in there area could the landing page be the matches page rather than the set simple page, Help me please! lol

see pics attached!

Yes, it can be changed.  It is a little late here and I am too tired to think at the moment.  You need to change the top controls in the search.  I don't know the code from memory, would have to go search the script.  Someone might come in with the answer in the meanwhile.

Once again you come to the rescue Geek, hope you can help me out! xx

I forgot to look at this, my apologies.  I need to start leaving myself notes.  I will be away from the computer for most of the day tomorrow.  Just remind me again.

 Good luck with that gurl.... why you think i started my own site?

Eh?? Anyway, im here to remind you geek! xx

Geek? x

Sorry, I had a server issue that has been beating me silly.  I have not looked at this.  To tell the truth, I don't know why some of the experience developers did not step in with the solution.  Blocks can have a top controls, such as the simple and matches on the search results.  Let me see if I can find this in the search scripts.  However, if someone with more experience want to step in with the solution, please do.

No luck, keeps returning simple.  What I suggest is to keep bumping this post until Alex or one of the other Boonex developers comes in and answers it.  This is the sort of thing that drives people away from Dolphin.  Here I am, not getting any money from Boonex, trying to offer support to someone using their software; spending hours of my time.  I must be crazy, I don't even get a free license for doing this.  None of us gets anything but the satisfaction of helping others.

How do i bump?

 I'm surprised you and the other experienced people *don't* charge for help. What's wrong with charging for PM's that answer current issues? I doubt I'm the only one who wouldn't mind compensating someone who knows what they're talking about to help me get my site in order. 

Just replying will bump the topic back to the top. Many reply with a simply message of "bump", but a reply with anything will do.

I was in a bit of a mood when I  posted that.  It depends on if Boonex is just barely breaking even, or making loads of money.  The community here is the Boonex support team; so we do have a right to know.  I have not seen any financial reports from Boonex.

GG: I don't see how what you all provide as being any different than the what the developers offer with their modules. Some are free, a few are pricey, but most are very reasonable compensation for their time and expertise.

As robust as Dolphin is, without the developers continuing to supply various modules, it would become pretty bland. So it is with the knowledge that you and several others have. If us newbies had to rely on other newbies to get things fixed, we'd really be in a pickle!

Anyone??

Backup files before making changes.

In browse.php

Find :

    $sInfoMode = ( isset($_GET['mode']) and $_GET['mode'] == 'extended' ) ? 'extended' : '';
   
Replace with :

In search.php

In search.php

Hi,

I got as far as....

In search.php

Find :

        $sOutputMode = isset($_REQUEST['search_result_mode']) && $_REQUEST['search_result_mode'] == 'ext' ? 'ext' : 'sim';

Replace with :

        $sOutputMode = isset($_REQUEST['search_result_mode']) && $_REQUEST['search_result_mode'] == 'sim' ? 'sim' : 'ext';

But....... this was not In search.php???

You will find it around line number 139  $sOutputMode = isset($_REQUEST['search_result_mode']) && $_REQUEST['search_result_mode'] == 'ext' ? 'ext' : 'sim';

Why is it that with Dolphin, what should be a simple thing involves hacking so much code LOL.

Nope, around there i have....

$aPaginate = array(

            'page_url' => $sBaseUri . $sTopLinksUri . '&page={page}&per_page={per_page}&sort={sorting}',

            'info' => true,

            'page_links' => true,

            'per_page' => isset($_REQUEST['per_page']) ? (int)$_REQUEST['per_page'] : 25,

            'sorting' => $sSort,

Sorry!

Sorry, I didn't realize this was posted in Dolphin 7.0 forum. The fix I provided works for Dolphin 7.1

Ignore that piece of code that you could not find and also ignore the very last change (but do the others) and see below instead :

In templates\base\scripts\BxBaseSearchProfile.php
Find (around line 82):

    $bExtMode = ( !empty($_GET['mode']) && $_GET['mode']=='extended') ||
        ( !empty($_GET['search_result_mode']) && $_GET['search_result_mode'] == 'ext');

Replace with :

        $bExtMode = (!empty($_GET['mode']) && $_GET['mode'] == 'extended') || ((!empty($_GET['search_result_mode']) && $_GET['search_result_mode'] == 'ext') || (empty($_GET['mode']) && empty($_GET['search_result_mode'])));

Sorry to be a pain Modzzz, im a little confused on what to change, wouldnt want to get it wrong, would you list all the changes again, i really appreciate your assistance on this!

Brilliant Modzzz, well pleased! now then, is there any chance you can help me on one more thing, currently the search opens on the order by : None, i would like it to land on order by : Latest Activity, anychance you can help me? please see the pics below!

Once again for the help so far.

Russell

Anyone?

You can try this

Builders -> Navigation Menu

below Search click on Item People Search

Edit URL

from:
search.php

To:
search.php?&res_per_page=40&page=1&sort=activity

Will display 40 members per page,
you can edit 40 to fit your layout

----

Do the same below People, item Search Members, edit URL here also

Absolutely brilliant, works for when you click the search button and i have implemented it but i would like when someone does a search it show the "Latest Activity" rather than currently it lands on "None". Hope this makes sence.
