Search histories not being stored.

[Dave]

Hello,
I have a semanticscuttle 0.98.5 setup for personal use, I have one problem with this setup,
and that is search histories are not stored in the database. I manually checked the sc_searchhistory table and there are no rows, even though I have made several searches since.
Any help would be appreciated...

• Enable debug mode in config.php
• Check if any SQL errors are shown
• Compare the SQL history table structure with the canonical one from data/tables.sql. Are they identical?

[Dave]

I have enabled debug mode, but I saw no SQL errors. The SQL table structures are the same.
If this is any help, I am using Ubuntu 12.10.

I have manually inserted a test term in the sc_searchhistory table, to see what would happen, but nothing is being displayed.

Did you set "$GLOBALS['sizeSearchHistory']" in your config file to 0?

Even if not, try setting it to 10 or so:

$GLOBALS['sizeSearchHistory'] = 10;

[Dave]

Setting $GLOBALS['sizeSearchHistory'] = 0 seems to have done the trick.
Thank you so much for your help!

[Christian Weiske]

So you set the variable to 0, and search history gets stored now? That'd be strange, because 0 means "store nothing".

[Dave]

Actually it doesn't really matter what I set the value to, the histories show up...
