PROBLEM CB advanced search Version 2.0.4

Hello to everyone,

today I run into a real problem.

I check out the CB advanced search Version 2.0.4 and, after some testing i decidet to announce the NEW Searching Feature to my community with near 200 registered user.

Everything went fine and the people could find each other :kiss:

Than, to give most of my users the possibility to submit content, i was forced to change there group rights from "registered" to "author". After that they are able to write articles.

Again, everything went fine - i thougth :huh: BUT as i found out some hours later, now the Advanced Search only regocnize the minor head count of 4 user who are in the group "registered". And the rest of 185 users in the group "author" are definitly NOT searchible. :S

The message after a search tells me "there are 4 registered user":huh: :huh:

My Question:
HOW can i force "Advanced Search" use ALL User in every Group?

I can´t find anything about this, and this problem hurts really.

Can anybody give me some help? - please?

Thanks to Robert who was VERY QUICK to give me a Solution:kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

Her his post:

Re:"authors" not searchible !? - 2006/08/31 08:10 Hi,

that is a problem but now really a bug!

The component as with the CB component only consider's User Types or GID's 29 and 30 or Frontend and Registered respectively.

If this is now what wants want then I can only ask you to open the following file called cb_search.html.php and goto line 320. You should see the following code

Code:


if ($usergid==29 || $usergid==30) {



exchange it with

Code:


if ($usergid==29 || $usergid==30 || $usergid==18) {



18 represents Authors.

However you have given me another item to add into the component. I will add the user types which can be de-or/ activated so that you have full control what users to show in the list.

Not sure about how this component works but if it is linking into a cb list then perhaps the list should be changed to include along with registered members other groups also.

just a thought.

Hello Nick,

my (one and only) List include all registered Users.

Only the solution above brought me the exoected result.

But thank you for your Idea !
