Knowledgebase Search and Popular Articles

[RevenueHosting]

I am trying to add some extra functionality to my homepage area and would like to add the knowledgebase search form and top 5 knowledgebase articles to it. The knowledgebase.php is ioncube encoded so no luck grabbing the source from it.

 

Does anyone know how to do this? I searched around and didn't find anything.

I found this free little script to add top knowledgebase posts to any whmcs page: http://ben90.com/2009/07/whmcs-mod-top-knowledgebase-articles-on-any-page/

 

I just need to figure out the search form for knowledgebase articles and I'm set.

I have been searching all day and cant find anything on this. I found a user contributed knowledgebase display page but I cannot get it to work right. Anyone have any ideas?

 

Knowledgebase Search form on the main client page (homepage.tpl) and under it, 5 most viewed knowledgebase pages.

Is there no answers for this? I do not really need the top knowledgebase articles, just a form to be able to search them from the main homepage.tpl.

 

Anyone? Everyone?

This one is easiest:

<!-- KB search -->
<br />
<h2>{$LANG.knowledgebasesearch} {$LANG.knowledgebasetitle}</h2>
<form method="post" action="knowledgebase.php?action=search">
 <p align="center">
   <input type="text" name="search" size="40" /> <input type="submit" value="{$LANG.knowledgebasesearch}" />
 </p>
</form>
<!-- /KB search -->

Just paste that at the bottom of homepage.tpl.

This code block is for the top 5 KB articles. I've tested this and have it running on our homepage.tpl which anyone here is welcome to take a look at by going to http://www.uberhost.com and then to the Support link.

 

<!-- KB most popular -->
<br />
<h2>Our 5 {$LANG.knowledgebasepopular} {$LANG.knowledgebasetitle} {$LANG.knowledgebasearticles}</h2>
{php}
$topnum = 0;
$query = "SELECT * FROM tblknowledgebase ORDER BY views DESC LIMIT 0,5"; 
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$topnum++;
$id = $data["id"];
$title = $data["title"];
$article = $data["article"];
$views = $data["views"];
$useful = $data["useful"];
$votes = $data["votes"];
$private = $data["private"];
$parentid = $data["parentid"];
$language = $data["language"];
 echo("<p><strong>".$topnum.". $title</strong><br>$article</p>");
}
{/php}
<!-- /KB most popular -->
