I think it's really handy to look at a users last posts, all in one place. I normally do this by searching for a user, but display the results as "posts" not topics. Then you get a list of their posts lined up.
Is it's possible to make a shortcut to this search-result somehow? The "view all posts" in a users profile should be like this, instead of just showing topics.
Is it possible to make the view all posts show posts instead of threads/topics?
I've thought about this, but I'm not sure which is preferable. What do other people think?
I think if the option in the profile is "view all posts" then thats exactly what it should do though an option to limit the result by number or by date would be useful on a large board.
Maybe there could be an option in "admin" so each forum-admin can choose which is best suited for his forum?
Rather than an admin option wouldn't it be easier just to provide two links in the profile ie. "show all posts" and "show all topics".
"view all topics" is not very usefull in an active forum. In my forum people tend to reply to virtually every topic there is, so clicking the link pretty much lists all topics I have.
It's especially little usefull if the member whose post I want to locate, hasn't posted in a while. Cause the list of topics has no link to that persons post. The list of topics does not single out that members last post, so I have to go through the thread to find his last post anyway.
But there must be somewhere I can edit the code, surely, to make this small change?
I see the "view all posts" is just a link to search.php
So I reckon if I find the place in the code for this link, it can be changed so that it shows posts instead of topics.
But I can't find it 
Help anyone?
FIND
// We want to sort things after last post
$sort_by = 4;
$search_ids = array();
while ($row = $db->fetch_row($result))
$search_ids[] = $row[0];
$db->free_result($result);
$show_as = 'topics';REPLACE WITH
// We want to sort things after last post
$sort_by = 4;
$search_ids = array();
while ($row = $db->fetch_row($result))
$search_ids[] = $row[0];
$db->free_result($result);
if ($action == 'show_user')
$show_as = 'posts';
else
$show_as = 'topics';How so? It doesn't mess it up for me on a clean board...
Sorry.. my bad..
I edited in Dreamweaver, and it changed some links automatically.
I fixed it and it works great, thanks!
(I deleted my posts, then saw your reply afterwards)
OK 
hmm.. when I click on the "view all posts" after the edit above, I get a list of posts, not topics.. but it's a bit messed up. It's not limited to the correct user, and the dates are messed up.
Like this: http://www.princefams.com/forum/search. … ;user_id=2
That's the link on my own profile, Endre. But as you see the results are for other users.
I thought it worked fine last nite.. I must be losing my mind.
The query doesn't do that for me, although it doesn't fetch all my posts either.
Go play with the query, or I can try when I get home
Endre: Are you sure that's a fresh copy of search.php?
OK, just remove the GROUP BY statement to make it actually display all the posts.

Yes
I even downloaded a fresh copy to make sure.

I don't understand what you mean by this. There is no Group By in the code you edited.
No, there isn't. I'm talking about the SQL query for the search we're doing. It's in the code, up from where you were editing before. If you need me to check, I will.
There are 5 instances of "group by" in the code, one of which is under "search for id-code". But exactly which part should I remove?
Ugh 
I know there's more then one, but I wanted you to look at the context and see where it was. It's rather obvious (this is the edited code)
// If it's a search for posts by a specific user ID
else if ($action == 'show_user')
{
$result = $db->query('SELECT t.id FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'posts AS p ON t.id=p.topic_id INNER JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forums AS f ON f.id=t.forum_id LEFT JOIN '.$db->prefix.'forum_perms AS fp ON (fp.forum_id=f.id AND fp.group_id='.$pun_user['g_id'].') WHERE (fp.read_forum IS NULL OR fp.read_forum=1) AND p.poster_id='.$user_id.'') or error('Unable to fetch topic list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
$num_hits = $db->num_rows($result);
if (!$num_hits)
message($lang_search['No user posts']);
}lol, maybe obvious for you!
I'm not very skilled with this. I can edit some things, but not long queries..
I'll try this and report back
... tried it, and it seems like the exact same results as last time.
Why cant it just ask for the same search as regular search, when searching for user and posts. That gets the exact result we want.
Is this dead? The suggested modifications didn't work on my forum, has anyone else tried?
Any suggestions?
