Re: Looking for "Nodes You Wrote" [A Beginners Inquiry]

"I find that many of the most generally usefull things I've ever written have been replies to other peoples questions."

hossman, I understand what you are saying, but for the moment, while I am trying to learn Perl and other processes involved with it, seeing only the nodes that I started, means being able to go back to review & learn from the responses & seeing who responded / helped me with my question. This way I know who to thank or enter into further correspondence with, if they're so inclined.

Much better to use the "Don't include replies" option on Super Search.

ysth++ Bingo.. That works best for me at the moment, until I can learn how to implement the programming tidbits that tye suggested. (For the moment, those are pretty advanced / foreign to me, but I'll figure it out soon. That's what I'm here for!)

Thank you everyone.

To help get you started: Just look at the HTML source of Super Search and put a similar form in your Free Nodelet. Include the "hidden" items. Replace any items that you want pre-selected with an appropriate "hidden", leave out items that you don't want to be able to specify (perhaps everything will be left out that isn't hidden), and you'll get a button that does the search you want.

For example, the following HTML:

<input type="radio" name="re" value="A" />
  Include <b>replies</b> from <i>any</i> section<br />
<input type="radio" name="re" value="S" checked />
  Include <b>replies</b> from <i>selected</i> sections<br />
<input type="radio" name="re" value="N" />
  <i>Don't</i> include <b>replies</b><br /><p>

Would mean that you would want to include the following HTML in your form in order to not include replies:

<input type="hidden" name="re" value="N" />
