Advanced searching for the mobile version



This trick will help you add a function for searching topics, posts, etc.. on the mobile version of your Forumotion forum.

Advanced searching for the mobile version Mobile10

The searches are performed asynchronously, so you will still be on the same page where you initiated the search until you click to view a result.


Advanced searching for the mobile version 09615110 1. Installing the JavaScript




To install this feature you need to create a new script by going to Admin Panel > Modules > JavaScript codes management and create a new script with the following settings.

Title : Mobile Search
Placement : In all the pages
Code:
(function() {
  var mobile = $('link[href$="?mobi"]')[0];
  if (mobile) {
    window._mobileSearch = {
      
      // language settings
      lang : {
        search_stop : 'Stop searching',
        search_loading : '<div class="mobile_search_info">Loading...</div>',
        
        // {GUEST?STRING} applies the STRING in the brackets if the user is a guest
        search_error : '<div class="mobile_search_info">The page could not be retrieved. Please check with an administrator about your search permissions{GUEST? or <a href="/login">login</a> if you haven\'t yet}.</div>'
      },
      
      // search presets
      presets : {
        'Search Presets' : '',
        'Advanced Search' : 'RESET', // RESET is a special value ( see preset.onchange )
        'Active Topics' : '/search?search_id=activetopics',
        'New Posts' : '/search?search_id=newposts',
        'Your Posts' : '/search?search_id=egosearch',
        'Unanswered' : '/search?search_id=unanswered'
      },
      
      active : false, // actively searching ?
      
      // open the search window
      open : function(href, callback) {
        if (_mobileSearch.active) _mobileSearch.close();
      
        var box = document.createElement('DIV'), preset = document.createElement('SELECT'), i;
        box.id = 'fa_mobile_search';

        for (i in _mobileSearch.presets) preset.innerHTML += '<option value="' + _mobileSearch.presets[i] + '">' + i + '</option>';
        preset.onchange = function() {
          if (this.value) {
            if (this.value == 'RESET') document.getElementById('faMobileSearch').firstChild.click();
            else _mobileSearch.open(this.value, function(content, data) {

            });
          }
        };
        
        box.lastChild.insertBefore(preset, box.lastChild.getElementsByTagName('A')[0]);
        
        $.get(href + (/\?/.test(href) ? '&' : '?') + 'change_version=prosilver', function(data) {
          var main = $('#main-content', data)[0], page;
          if (main) {
            box.firstChild.innerHTML = '';
            box.firstChild.appendChild(main);

            $('.pagination:not(strong) span a', box.firstChild).click(_mobileSearch.getPage);

            callback && callback(box.firstChild, data);
          } else box.firstChild.innerHTML = _mobileSearch.lang.search_error.replace(/\{GUEST\?(.*?)\}/, _userdata.session_logged_in ? '' : '$1');
        });

        document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';

        return false;
      },
      
      // format elements with mobile classes
      formatMobile : function(context) {
        context = context ? context : document;
        var a = $('a', context), i = 0, j = a.length, pagination = $('p.pagination', context);
        
        $('h1', context).addClass('mobile_set');
        $('.row', context).addClass('mobile_item');

        $('span a:not(.pag-img), span strong', pagination).attr('class', 'defaultBtn');
        
        $('.postbody h2', context).addClass('post_header');
        
        for (; i < j; i++) a[i].href = a[i].href.replace(/(?:&|\?)change_version=prosilver/, '');
      }

    };
    
    // write stylesheet into header

    // DOM ready modifications
    $(function() {
      var search = document.createElement('LI');
      search.id = 'faMobileSearch';
      search.innerHTML = '<a class="navElement" href="/search"><img src="https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/18/21/60/73/mobile10.png"/><br/><span class="navBtnLabel">Search</span></a>';
      search.firstChild.onclick = function(e) {
        _mobileSearch.open(this.href, function(content, data) {
          $('h1, h2', content).addClass('mobile_set');
          $('.panel', content).addClass('post');
          $('.button1, .button2', content).attr('class', 'defaultBtn');
          
          $('form[action^="/search"]', content).submit(function(e) {
            _mobileSearch.open('/search?' + $(this).serialize(), function(content, data) {
              _mobileSearch.formatMobile(content);
            });
            e.preventDefault();
          });
        });
        e.preventDefault();
      };

      $(function(){
        var bar = document.getElementById('mNavbar');
        bar && bar.appendChild(search);
      });
    });
  }
})();

Save the script when you're finished. After this, you should now have a new button under the mobile navigation to initiate searches from anywhere on the mobile version. Very good

If you want to make any modifications please see the following section.


Advanced searching for the mobile version 09615110 2. Modifications




Language : To modify any of the language content that appears in this feature, you should edit the lang object. It contains three language settings and looks like this :
Code:
      lang : {
        search_stop : 'Stop searching',
        search_loading : '<div class="mobile_search_info">Loading...</div>',
        
        // {GUEST?STRING} applies the STRING in the brackets if the user is a guest
        search_error : '<div class="mobile_search_info">The page could not be retrieved. Please check with an administrator about your search permissions{GUEST? or <a href="/login">login</a> if you haven\'t yet}.</div>'
      },

The last one contains a small condition, {GUEST?STRING} for short, applies the texts after the question mark if the user is a guest. Also, make sure to escape any single quotes you use to avoid errors ! ( instead of don't you should write don\'t )


Search presets : The search presets contains preset search pages, such as ; View post since last visit, unanswered posts, etc..

Advanced searching for the mobile version Mobile11

You can modify the presets object to change the name of presets, as well as add new presets if you want. It looks like this :
Code:
      presets : {
        'Search Presets' : '',
        'Advanced Search' : 'RESET', // RESET is a special value ( see preset.onchange )
        'Active Topics' : '/search?search_id=activetopics',
        'New Posts' : '/search?search_id=newposts',
        'Your Posts' : '/search?search_id=egosearch',
        'Unanswered' : '/search?search_id=unanswered'
      },

Each preset contains a name:location pair :

name : The preset texts
location : The URL the preset loads ( searches by default )

Remember to separate each pair by a comma !
