Adding Search to

[sleepy]

Another couple template questions...

1. Can someone also give me a heads up how to add 'Quick Search Box' to

layout.tpl (ie navigation)
home.tpl (in body)
or in new pages yet to be created eg., subject.tpl

If i simply add javascript and html code from search.tpl to home.tpl I only see text search and category search (and dropdown doesnt work) in browser. So obviously Im missing one or three steps somewhere.

Ideally Id like to have ability to add a 'Quick Search Box' in a number of places and modify the code so it so it can display only fields I require.

2. How do I modify price fields so that they can be displayed as dropdowns?

Had a look in cache from old forum but cant access posts I need.


Cheers,

If you add it to both layout.tpl and home.tpl you will get 2 search boxes.

you'll need to add this code to each page that you want to display the search box.

PHP Code:

//get the categories for the function//
$tree = cat_tree("", 0);
$class_tpl->assign('getcats', $tree);

juven14,

I havent yet decided where I want search box yet so was wanting to know how to do it for both templates ....

If I add search box to home.tpl whereabouts do I add the 3 lines of code you posted? ... to home.tpl also or to one of the .php pages?

index.php only.

By doing this you would only display the search box on the home page.

juven14,

I must be still doing something wrong ... last part code for index.php now reads

$class_tpl->assign('title', $title);
$class_tpl->assign('cols', $indexCols);
$class_tpl->assign('data', $cat);
$class_tpl->assign('body','home.tpl.php');
$class_tpl->display('layout.tpl.php');


//get the categories for the function//
$tree = cat_tree("", 0);
$class_tpl->assign('getcats', $tree);
?>

Is this correct?

And if I wanted to add search box to layout.tpl instead what .php page do I post code to?

Cheers,

It needs to go here:

PHP Code:

     //get the categories for the function//
     $tree = cat_tree("", 0);
     $class_tpl->assign('getcats', $tree); 

    $class_tpl->assign('title', $title);
    $class_tpl->assign('cols', $indexCols);
    $class_tpl->assign('data', $cat);
    $class_tpl->assign('body','home.tpl.php');
    $class_tpl->display('layout.tpl.php'); 


This should always be the last line as it is the line that displays the template for you:

PHP Code:

$class_tpl->display('layout.tpl.php'); 


As for adding it to layout.tpl.php, I would have it hidden unless you pass it a variable.

{if $search=="Y'}search box{/if}

Then you could just add that code to the pages you wish to show the search box. If you want it to show on every page then I would suggest making a plugin.

I've made a quick mod you can use.

I'll add the link to the mod thread once I upload it there.

Thanks juven14,

Do you know if theres any info about on how to create a plugin? Tried to cache old site but had no luck.

You can just use my plugin here as a template for creating your own plugins. I just stripped down another plugin and followed how it was put together.

I used the function name as the file name and saved it in the plugin folder as the other functions where done.

plugin name = function.functionName.php:

PHP Code:

<?php
function smarty_function_functionName(){


return $something;
}
?>

Then in the template where you want to use the plugin:

{functionName}
