Those complaining about the time... why not just change the setting for it in the ACP?

I am complaining about the search function in this board. :) For my custom installation, I am able to change it, I know.

1) +import +from +coppermine might be better for you :)

For me, but not for my community of not experienced members. I cannot tell any of my 45.000 members how the search in board differs from the usual search in search engines. Plus must be set by default. And I cannot imagine any case, where I am looking for words concating with OR. You? :rolleyes:

Hello,

I am trying to solve some issues myself, without troubling support and community. So I try to use search feature in this forum. It is not really usable and often does not make sense:

1. When I am looking for search phrase like "import from coppermine", I get any topic where import OR from OR coppermine appears. I appreciate, especially, search results mathing the single word "from". :)
2. When nothing is found and I try another search phrase I am always have to wait 20 seconds.

Flood control is enabled. Please wait at least 20 seconds before attempting to search again

Why should I wait, if nothing has been found? Why am I assumed to be a flooder as registered customer on this board?
3. In the search results I would like to have a topic only once and not all the posts from one topic. It is often not enough to read the found post, but the whole topic to understand it. So, I would not like to have all the posts from the already readen topic listed 5 to 10 times in the search results.
4. I would use Google search on this board (as more sophisticated alternative), but the board for customer is set private, so that no Google search is possbile.

Apart of the 4th point the search feature is not user friendly. Not here and not in the customer boards.

Thank you! This link looks better that the one I have posted.

You are right. I have started to customize IPB yesterday and found the code mostly logical. I am a bit "API addicted" :) and this way to work is new for me. I will do my best.

Have you looked at the Developer Documentation in the Customer Resources section? (link at the top of the page)

Hello stoo200,

I am not sure what you mean. I have found this link http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/official.html?category=57 But this is not an API. There are only some examples for copy-paste :(

My actual question is, how to temporary change sql_tbl_prefix in the script?

ipsRegistry::DB('mykey')->?????

I have it:

$prefix = ipsRegistry::DB('mykey')->obj['sql_tbl_prefix'];

ipsRegistry::DB('mykey')->obj['sql_tbl_prefix'] = '';

// here comes the sql query with another prefix

ipsRegistry::DB('mykey')->obj['sql_tbl_prefix'] = $prefix;

However, I am still interested in getting API :rolleyes:

Hello,

I am experienced web programmer and quite new to IPB. As I have to modify some conversion scripts and develop some custom applications, I need API. Where can I get it?

My actual question is, how to temporary change sql_tbl_prefix in the script?

ipsRegistry::DB('mykey')->?????

I need to change the sql_tbl_prefix only once while conversion to get data from the tables with another prefix. I do not need new DB connection, as there is the same DB, but just another table prefix. Once I've got the data I will reset the prefix back to default.

I would not post this question here, if I had API :)

Thank you,
Sonya
