Thread

We used to have a functionality that seems to be missing now.

When someone searches for some keyword on the forums, and that keyword is found many times in a thread, there was a link shown, which redirected to the search thread page. This is now missing.

Basically we are having problems with the following code (Copy from the “Search Result Rows” default template).

{if reply_results == 0}
 {topic_type}<a href="http://{path:view_thread}" title="{topic_title}"><b>{topic_title}</b></a>
{if:elseif reply_results < 6}
 {topic_type}<a href="http://{path:view_thread}" title="{topic_title}"><b>{topic_title}</b></a>
 
<span class="smallLinks">{lang:found_in} <ul>{include:reply_results}</ul></span>
{if:else}
 {topic_type}<a href="http://{path:view_thread}" title="{topic_title}"><b>{topic_title}</b></a>
 
<span class="smallLinks">{lang:found_in_many} - <a href="http://{path:search_thread}">{lang:search_thread}</a></span>
{/if}

It seems that we never get anything but the reply_results == 0 condition.

I tried setting the value 6 to 3, but even then it did not work.
We have several keywords that are used a lot, and I am 100% sure that we should be seeing the “search_thread” links a lot.

Hi dombi,

In which version of both EE and the Discussion Forum module did this used to work? And which version did you upgrade to when this broke? I ask simply because EE 1 and its forum module are no longer under active development and haven’t seen substantial changes in some time.

Hi Kevin,

This is on the same forum that you guys took a look at just recently. EE version 1.7.2, forum version 2.2.2.
I am not exactly sure when it actually broke. Our members have just notified us. But I think it might have been broken for a while.

The option is in the module, just for some reason it is not working.
My guess is that there is some problem with the “reply_results” variable.

Hello dombi,

Can you confirm whether this worked before or not?

Are you using any themes in your Forum?

We may need to login and take a look, would that be okay?

Thank you,

Hi Shane,

Yes. This feature used to work. Unfortunately I don’t know how long ago. But our users are missing it.

Yes, we are using a custom theme, which is based on the default theme. You are welcome to take a look at our site. Please email me and I can give you all the details you need.

Hi András,

Be on the lookout for an email from EllisLab!

Cheers,
