vBulletin Mods

@seb5594 - thanks for the suggestion. We'll look into it, but translation is definitely on the roadmap either way.

Not to shame the developer or anything but there is currently a security issue with this plugin which allows any visitor to access any piece of content (thread, post, etc) stored in their database - the plugin does not currently honor vBulletin 4.x's permissions.

I wrote about the details here: https://www.rdforum.org/showthread.php?t=62245

As I wrote in that post:

The threadloom team has been in contact with me and are working swiftly to resolve the issue, just wanted to make sure other forum admins who aren't necessarily keeping an eye on their system have the latest information.

As a side note, the time that I have spent using the threadloom plugin I've seen a pretty well performing search engine, and the developers are extremely friendly and active and it really does seem like a great product to replace the aging vBulletin search core, if anyone had any thoughts about any of that. I'll be re-enabling the product on my own forum once the issue has been addressed.

Update: Developer confirms patch has been published and thus the issue resolved.

@xyd: Just wanted to thank you for reporting this issue and offer a brief summary for other admins. The issue affected vBulletin sites that had private forums that were viewable and searchable, but whose thread content were not viewable. Prior to Friday’s fix, it was possible for threads from those forums to show up in Threadloom search snippets. As soon as we confirmed the bug, we updated the Threadloom backend to stop sending search results to vBulletin customers, in order to trigger an automatic failover to standard search. We released an updated plug-in (v2.0.8) a few hours later. We've notified affected customers; all new sign-ups will receive the latest version of Threadloom. Protecting privacy is very important to us and we will work hard to prevent this from happening again.

Excited to announce our new filters UI in v2.0.8!

1. Users can now easily filter by forum, user, and date.
2. Results update in realtime.
3. Supports type-ahead.

Filter drop-down:

I no longer see the sidebar with the categories?

Hi @RichieBoy67 - we moved this under the 'forum' filter.

I see that but now there is a big empty space where the categories used to be..

Hm, you shouldn't see empty space where the categories box used to be. Results should be left aligned like you see here. I PMed you to follow up on your site if you want us to take a look.

The new drop-down style has a few advantages over the left-side pane that we hope you'll like.

• Multi-select support so you can search for posts across multiple forums at the same time
• Live editing so you can add and remove forums without clicking back
• Text-input with type-ahead so you can search for a forum more quickly

2.0.9 – released 2017-06-08

This release addresses an issue with display of Latin-1 characters, and includes improvements for scheduled task data transfers.

Improvements

• Handle rare cases where the size of posts exceeds HTTP transfer limits.
• Reduce size of data sent by server during scheduled task run. Results in faster task run-time.

Fixes

• Fixed display of Latin-1 characters in the header and footer of the search results page.
• Fixed how we query for the number of table rows when the scheduled task runs.

Full release notes

Image search is now available for all Threadloom customers.

• If you’re already using Threadloom, just install the latest plug-in from the Threadloom Portal (v2.0.6 or later for XenForo, v2.0.8 or later for vBulletin). Then, in the Portal, go to Search Settings and turn on Image Search. Just like with its sister feature, Custom Search Tabs, there is no additional charge for Image Search – they’re both included in your plan. So search on and let us know what you think!
• If you haven’t tried Threadloom yet, sign up here. It’s completely free for smaller forums, and all of our plans for larger forums include a free 30-day trial.

Threadloom Site Search is working well on my site http://www.spyidea.com/threadloom/th....php?query=seo

I would like to use Threadloom search box to replace default Vb serch box. But i want the searchbox to be below my Navbar. i want the serchbox to be as wide as Threadloom search box.

Please any procedure to achieve this?

Caps request time to ensure that site performance does not degrade due to API backend latency or outages.

Improvements

• Real-time index update API request length is capped so forum visitors don't experience delays when saving changes.

Fixes

• Corrects an error message sent to Threadloom when the plug-in cannot properly encode data.

Full release notes

Hi @Naijasite: You can find instructions for adding a Threadloom search box to non-search pages in vB4 here: https://support.threadloom.com/hc/en...s/115010335228

Am I doing something wrong here? Installed the Product, used the code provided to add the search bar... when I perform a search I get the default vb search page. Plugin is installed, all info is correct, and active.
