search form not working

[andyshep]

Hi all,

 

I have recently installed ultimate urls, sid killer, header tags controller and now the search form doesnt seem to be working. I was wondering if one of these contribs may be the cause.

 

anyone came across this / got a solution?

Well this contribs will not affest your search.

You might have palced soem code at a wrong place.

I had applied these to more then 10 sites and had no problem plus search is based on data base finding and seos are not doing many changes there.ONly few rows added to congig table

We would need more information to help you. What exactly do you mean when the search form doesn't work? Are you getting any particular errors? You have to be a little more specific in describing your problem.

ok solved!!!

 

it was SID_Killer that caused the problem

 

Changed my code in the search form from

 

 

<input type="hidden" name="osCsid" value="<?php if (isset($_GET['osCsid'])){ echo $_GET['osCsid']?>" />

 

to

 

<?php if (isset($_GET['osCsid'])){
echo '<input type="hidden" name="osCsid" value="' . $_GET['osCsid'] . '" />';
}?>

 

since sid killer was removing the oscid it was causing the page not to redirect.

 

BUT.....

 

now im sure ill be losing the oscid cant really tell.

do i need this hidden field? Do you think im losing the oscid when they go to this page?

Well SID killer kills SID for browser listed in robots.txt or spider.txt file.So by chance you might have placed

some of your browser name in that list and that will be removing your sid.

The best way is to place the original code and check with a different browser.

 

Generally to do some testing online a coder wil place the browser name in that file and then coder might have nmissed on.
