Problems with the Search Syntax

[TerraNaut]

I cant get my url search function to work. I want to make a hyperlink search (http://www.terranaut.dk/billeder/thumbnails.php?album=search&search=Tokina) but the search comes out blank.

If I go and make a manual search (through coppermine and set a mark in lens) there is no problem.

My humble questions is how do I make this work? I have tried to alter the searh.inc.php file by adding =$USER['search']['params']['user1'] (trying user1 through user4) but without any results.

My Coppermine URL is: http://www.terranaut.dk/grafik/map/kort-e.htm

Thank you - Rasmus

Set user3 as a default search field, so change

Code Select Expand


$USER['search']['params']['title'] = $USER['search']['params']['caption'] = $USER['search']['params']['keywords'] = $USER['search']['params']['filename'] = 1;


to

Code Select Expand


$USER['search']['params']['title'] = $USER['search']['params']['caption'] = $USER['search']['params']['keywords'] = $USER['search']['params']['filename'] = $USER['search']['params']['user3'] = 1;


in search.inc.php

Hi Nibbler

A million thanx - it's working like a dream.

I'm searching with a form button. Gives me more flexibility, I believe.  Looks something like this:

Code Select Expand

<form method="post" action="/path to gallery/thumbnails.php">
<input type="hidden" name="search" value="search strings" /> <!-- multiple strings separated by blank spaces -->
    <input type="submit" value="Some name for your button" class="button" />
    <input type="hidden" name="album" value="search" />
    <input type="hidden" name="title" />
    <input type="hidden" name="keywords" />
    <input type="hidden" name="caption" />
    <input type="hidden" name="filename" />
    <input type="hidden" name="type" value="AND" /> <!-- or whatever the desired operator -->
</form>
Not saying all this cannot be passed on in a URL.
