I was reading some of the comments regarding the website's search function and got inspired... a month or so later here we are!
(the yellow dot is from the recording software, not the extension)
TFF Search Extension adds 3 features:
Searching by title
Searching by comment
and using the website search from within the main page!
And even some cool animations
This is currently only available for the 'Tropical Fruit Discussion' board. Search results are sent to my server and handled; no stress on the tropicalfruitforum server!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
*** GOOGLE CHROME ONLY ***
1) Download the files ("Download all" in top right corner) and save to desktop or wherever is convenient for you
2) Open Google Chrome and click the 3 vertical dots (Top Right Corner)
3) Go to Extensions > Manage Extensions
4) Enable "Developer Mode" (Top Right Corner)
5) Click "Load unpacked" (Top Left), highlight the TFF EXT folder from your desktop, and click "Select Folder" (Bottom Right)
TO UPDATE:
(MOST RECENT UPDATE: JULY 19 8PM)
1) Delete the TFF EXT file
2) Open Google Chrome and click the 3 vertical dots (Top Right Corner)
3) Go to Extensions > Manage Extensions
4) Click 'Remove'
5) Follow the Installation Instructions from step 1 with a fresh download
And that's it! Enjoy
To open the search, click the new arrow button after opening the tropical fruit discussion page.
If you need any help with installing or have any questions ask away!
also the date filters based on the last post because I figured that would be more useful, but if people want it to be a true thread was only 'active from x to y' then I can do that!
i.e. setting the date to January 2023 - July 2023 and searching 'mango' would show all mango threads with the most recent comment being within those last 6 months, NOT show all threads that were started from january 2023 to now
More features coming soon : )
