Adding google search box to template

[sunshinemike +]

Hi

Please be kind, I installed 68C (designer) just yesterday as I am not too familiar with PHP etc.

I have signed up for Google Adsense and want to replace the seach box at the top of the default 3column template with the code below


<form action="http://www.google.co.uk/cse" id="cse-search-box" target="_blank">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-3747475939455347:m6tsit-da0l" />
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" />
<input type="text" name="q" size="35" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>

I have tried simply replacing the code below which is found in layout.tpl

<form method="get" action="searchresults.php">
<p><input type="text" name="searchtext" class="search" value="{$smarty.get.searchtext|stripslashes}" /> <input type="submit" value="{$smarty.const.LANG_SEARCH}" class="button" /></p>
</form>

..... but it doesnt work. My site still appears to be using the old search method.

Is there an easy way to insert the google code into the template without ruining the look fo the site?

Many thanks

Mike

Did you edit the corect template?

Did you delete the contents of the /templates_c folder?

Try adding the classes as in the default. The class is a CSS style call which is what sets the look.

This:
<input type="text" name="q" size="35" />

To This:
<input type="text" name="q" class="search" />

AND this:
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />

To This:
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" class="button" />

In addition, please ensure that your new code is still within the existing <div id="search"></div>
