SCANU's Live Admincp Search - jQuery filtering search box on admincp!
Mod Version: 0.1, by Scanu

This modification adds a search box at the top of the navigation menus on the left of the admincp.
The search box will filter navigation menus while you type, showing only the tabs containing the word you're looking for. This modification is made to make faster the forum administration so that you don't have to scroll the navtabs until you find the right one, just type it and click it! Look at the scrrenshot for more.


Features

• 1 phrase, 1 navgroup
• No changes to the admincp code
• Uses jquery to handle search string and hide show tabs
• Filter navtitles and navlinksat the same time
• Instant live search

1. Download LiveAdmincpSearch.zip from attachments
2. Extract the archive
3. Upload to your vbulletin folder the content of the upload folder
4. Upload the product "product-scanusearch.xml" in your admincp
5. That's done!

This should work in every vBulletin version (even vB3) but it has been tested just on 4.2.0 and 4.2.2 so let me know in a reply


As of this release could be hard to translate the search placeholder, if you want to translate it i'll be happy to help you


As of this version when you start typing all navgroups are extended without the image changing (I'll fix this on the next version)
If you find any bug please let me know

When i asked my brother to port the vb5 admincp style to vb4 I thought the admincp need even more to be modern, when i was using admincp with the new style I saw that as always i coudn't find tabs on the left so I decided to bring the vb5 search feature on vb4admincp. First i tought of a new page with php and queries but then i remembered of a jquery filter plugin; a jquery plugin would have been impossible to be adapted to the strange html structure of navtabs so i decided to code it by myself and using jquery apis i did this in just some hours!


To the coders: This mod use uses only a navgroup, where in the phrase there are jquery codes to inject the search box removing the navgroup itself and make the filtering of tabs. This isn't the best way to do it, but since the admincp is not customizable i ended up with this, in the next version i'll use templates to store jquery codes and search box, and i'll inject the search box without using navgroup
