Ok... i'll be putting this up in the mods section shortly, if there's enough demand for it (doubt it).
#i promise to put this into a list when i have the time
before sub main, put this:
$search_all_types=0;$i=0;$j=0;
and then, for every 'type' you have, put these 2 lines in for it:
$i++;$j++;
if ($in{'XXXXXX'}) $j--;
at the end of that, put this:
if ($j<$i) $search_all_types=1;
then, in sub search, where you see:
# Check to see if the link matches.
paste this code block over the one that's there:
Code:
$match = 0; $andmatch = 1;
if ($in{"$values[$db_type]"} | | $search_all_types) {
if ($regexp) {
FIELD: foreach $field (@search_fields) {
$_ = $values[$field];
$or_match ?
($match = $match | | &{$regexp}) :
($match = &{$regexp});
last FIELD if ($match);
}
}
}
now, all you need to do is add a field to your links.def, and link it as $db_type= 14 (or whatever the number you added it as is.), and put checkboxes in your html with names equal to the types...
i realize this is probably one of the user-unfriendliest mods u've seen... it'll get better after i've actually gotten the chance to put it to the test, and have time to type it up better.

mine can search multiple categories.. you just change the code to this..
