Posted - 27 September 2005 : 13:12:12 I have been trying to modify the Search.asp so that I can search by Topic_ID, but I keep failing to get it working. I was able to modify the forum.asp to show the TOPIC_ID so that user can use that ID as a ticket number. With that ticket number, they can use that number instead of the keywords. Any help is appreciated.
I am actually editing the search_form_enhancem-34-0004a.zip version, but just renamed it to Search.asp. However I don't think that would really matter.

Posted - 28 September 2005 : 14:54:14 In the forum.asp Search for code below , which is around line 595 for mine. Yours may be different.
Response.Write "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _ " <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ valign=""middle"" align=""left"">" & vbNewLine & _ " <font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """>" if Topic_Sticky and strStickyTopic = "1" then Response.Write("Answered: ") Response.Write "<span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""topic.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID & """>" & ChkString(Topic_Subject,"title") & "</a></span> </font>" & vbNewLine if strShowPaging = "1" then Call TopicPaging() end if
Add the following code below right on top of the code above
Response.Write "</a></td>" & vbNewLine & _ " <td bgcolor=""" & strForumCellColor & """ valign=""middle"" align=""center"">" & vbNewLine & _ " <font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """>" Response.Write "<span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""topic.asp?" & ArchiveLink & "TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID & """>" & ChkString(Topic_ID,"topicID") & "</a></span> </font>" & vbNewLine

Posted - 28 September 2005 : 12:50:24 Would it be something like this for the form?
<form action="topic.asp" method="get"> <input name="TOPIC_ID" /> <input type="submit" /> </form>< |

In fact, the easiest way to do it would be to use get as the form's method, topic.asp as it's action and TOPIC_ID as the name of the text input. Doing it this way, the form will submit to topic.asp with TOPIC_ID in the querystring, no need for an additional handler to process the form and redirect to the appropriate topic.
Good suggestion.< |

Posted - 28 September 2005 : 11:37:33 No, not much. You'd need to add code to display the form and to handle form submission.< |

Posted - 28 September 2005 : 10:44:57 Hmmm... how much of a coding will this little form take, since I am not a programmer. Will the textbox on the header act as a topic search field?? I can try to go online and get some help tutorials on creating this form.< |

Posted - 28 September 2005 : 07:15:19 It could even be a small form, probably easier to do...< |
