Search query URL username

[decafdev]

I am trying to create a URL query to search for any posts by the user in a certain forum. I have found information how to choose one specific username but i need it to grab the user logged in.

a href="search.php?do=process&searchuser=$bbuserinfo[username]&exactname=1&forumchoice[]=85">LINK

this part isn't working.

Where are you putting this information? That would need to be in a template so the $bbuserinfo array is processed.

Where are you trying to show the link?

I have created a Support area in a forum that isnt visible for basic members but thread content is. I am having a link in the footer labelled Support Tickets where i would like the URL to search for threads by that user in the support forum (forumid=85).

As a link in the footer template you would probably want to use:

search.php?do=process&searchuser=[B]{vb:raw bbuserinfo.username}[/B]&exactname=1&forumchoice[]=85

Would this work as it is or would i have to break the URL code, add var then continue with the URL code?

ie:

search.php?do=process&searchuser=" & [B]{vb:raw bbuserinfo.username} & "[/B]&exactname=1&forumchoice[]=85

The template isn't going to use any kind of string concatenation in its processing of a link. What was the issue with the code that I provided?

[decafdev]

It isn't searching in just forum 85

I'm also having the same issue

I am using

search.php?do=finduser&userid=25551&forumchoice[]=426&starteronly=1&contenttype=vBForum_Thread

It is half working only in that it finds user 256551 recent threads, but all of them instead of just in forum id 426

Can anyone please help, suggest what might be wrong?

Thanks
