A search directory Mod

Ive had some requests for users when they search my directory in the results they would also like to see where that particular site is located in my directory, eg. the category. This is good for people who dont know exactly what category to submit their site to. Is there such a mod available?

 

Yes, it's called the 'search'

That will usually bring up similar categories that pertain to the searched key term and help then find their way.

 

Yes i know that, but to make it easier for example you search for Alive Directory, your results come up and it will show your site details and also have Located in: Internet/Directories with a hyperlink so they can go to that location from the search.

 

does 2.1.3 have the ability to rebuild your category cache?

if it does, then you could just add this to your link.tpl to have that:

 {if !empty ($search) or !empty ($uid)}
      <p>{l}Category{/l}: <a href="{$smarty.const.DOC_ROOT}/{$link.CATEGORY_URL|escape|trim}" title="{$link.CATEGORY_TITLE|escape|trim}">{$link.CATEGORY_TITLE|escape|trim}</a></p>
   {/if}

Code (markup):

Just ask Dawzz and he will do it for you in less than 5 minutes. There are others things to add to make the code work, so don't waste your time if you don't know how to do it.

Good luck!!
