External searching in mybb

November 11th, 2008 by AlekZ

Sometimes you need to integrate web-pages with corresponding forum threads. Here's one of the way to do it.

<?php
$keywords="MyBB integration"; // The search keywords
?>
<!– The path to mybb search.php –>

<form method="post" action="http://www.yoursite.com/mybb/search.php">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="do_search" />
<input type="hidden" name="keywords" value="<?php echo $keywords; ?>" />
<!– search titles only –>
<input type="hidden"  name="postthread" value="2" />
<!– Search in all forums –>
<input type="hidden" name="forums[]" size="15" multiple="multiple" value="all">
<!– All dates –>
<input type="hidden" name="postdate" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="pddir" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="sortby" value="lastpost">
<input type="hidden" name="sortordr" value="asc" />
<!– the result will be threads, not posts –>
<input type="hidden" name="showresults" value="threads" />
<input type="submit" class="button" name="submit" value="Forum" />
</form>
