Related Links block - For Articles

Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2003 12:25 pm

The links for "more on this topic" and "more by this author" are not performing the search as they are supposed to. Anyone know how to fix this?

I checked it on this site too, and it doesn't work either. Just returns a search box, with no results.

Thanks,

Ok, I figured it out...
I can't give accurate line numbers because I have hacked the file, but it is in the part that creates the related links box.

in this line...

Code:

and this line...

Code:

Change them so there is a "&query=%" at the end of the anchor (to search with a wildcard).

like this...

Code:

and this...

Code:

I also changed the author search to look for the informant using the $informant variable instead of the $aid because I wanted it to search on who actually wrote it... not who posted it.

Yay!
Hope someone finds this helpful!
