Strange Egosearch

Worker Joined: Dec 21, 2004 Posts: 116

I added to my phpbb template the egosearch button inserting this line of code in index_body.tpl:

Code:

<a href="{U_SEARCH_SELF}">{L_SEARCH_SELF}</a><br />

If I test it function properly, but the url is a little strange... i got:

Code:

./modules.php?name=Forums&file=search&search_id=egosearch&sid=MYSIDNUMBER

instead of

Code:

./modules.php?name=Forums&file=search&search_id=egosearch

Is it normal ?

That looks normal to me given that the function is an append_sid function.

You are after all asking the system to view your posts, thus the sid is required.

You'll find:

Code:

redirect(append_sid("login.$phpEx?redirect=search.$phpEx&search_id=egosearch", true));

in your search.php file as well as:

Code:

'U_SEARCH_SELF' => append_sid('search.'.$phpEx.'?search_id=egosearch'),

in your includes/page_header.php file.

Hope this helps.

Thx 4 the help,
I thought that I had something wrong in my template and I thought that showing the SID could make some security issue.
