// Define Categories
$cat_lines = file("$cutepath/data/category.db.php");
foreach($cat_lines as $single_line){
        $cat_arr = explode("|", $single_line);
    $cat[$cat_arr[0]] = $cat_arr[1];
    $cat_icon[$cat_arr[0]]=$cat_arr[2];

Re: [HACK] search within categories

working example:
http://www.planet-megaman.com/search.php

The working example is cutenews 1.3.6 - The code BELOW is for Aj-Fork v.167/168

open search.php

find TWICE: 

"user",


add after BOTH: 

 "category",

find: 

// Show Search Form


add above: 

// Define Categories
$cat_lines = file("$cutepath/data/category.db.php");
foreach($cat_lines as $single_line){
        $cat_arr = explode("|", $single_line);
    $cat[$cat_arr[0]] = $cat_arr[1];
    $cat_icon[$cat_arr[0]]=$cat_arr[2];
}

find: 

  <tr>
    <td width="100%" align="right">Author <input type=text value="$user" name=user size="24">
  </tr>


add below: 

<!-- search cats -->
HTML;
    if(count($cat_lines) > 0){
  echo"<tr>
  <td width=\"100%\" align=\"right\">
  Category 
  <select name=category>\n
  <option value=\"\" selected>- All -</option>\n";
        foreach($cat_lines as $single_line){
        $cat_arr = explode("|", $single_line);
        if (strlen($cat_arr[1]) > 17) { $cat_arr['disp'] = substr($cat_arr[1], 0, 17 - 3) . '...'; }
          else { $cat_arr['disp'] = $cat_arr[1]; }
              echo"<option value=\"$cat_arr[0]\">$cat_arr[disp]</option>\n";
    }
     echo"</select></tr>";
    }
echo <<<HTML
<!-- search cats -->

find: 

$found  = 0;


add below: 

$fcat   = FALSE;

find: 

if($story and (@preg_match("/$story/i", "$news_db_arr[4]") or @preg_match("/$story/i", "$news_db_arr[3]"))){ $fstory = TRUE;}


add below: 

if($category == $news_db_arr[6]){ $fcat = TRUE;}

find: 

if($user  and $fuser) { $fuser  = TRUE; }elseif(!$user) { $fuser  = TRUE; }else{ $fuser  = FALSE; }


add below: 

if($category  and $fcat) { $fcat  = TRUE; }elseif(!$category) { $fcat  = TRUE; }else{ $fcat  = FALSE; }

find: 

$fdate and $ftitle and $fuser and $fstory


add after: 

 and $fcat

find: 

                                   if($local_id == $news_id){
////////// Showing Result

                    echo"
[b][url=]$item_arr[2][/url][/b] (". date("d F, Y", $item_arr[0]) .")";

////////// End Showing Result
                }


replace with: 

// search cats
if($category == $item_arr[6] || !isset($category)){
    if($local_id == $news_id){ echo"
[b][url=]$item_arr[2][/url][/b] (". date("d F, Y", $item_arr[0]) .")"; }
}
// show cats

The only differences between this and the original post that NyNe made is that this one works specifically ONLY for AJ-Fork by using the aj_go=more instead of subaction=showfull - Hope that helps some of you Forkers! big_smile
