incoporate a search feature into the header

[timisnumber9]

Does any body know how to combine the search box into the header?

 

I have seen a few sites with this feature such as this:

 

example site

 

That has the search box incoporated into the header and not in a separate infoBox in the left or right column.

 

Has anbody here done this? What code did they use?

 

Cheers, Tim

Here's a quick way :)

 

<!-- Search Form Begin -->
              <form name="quick_find" action="advanced_search_result.php" method="get"><input type="text" name="keywords" size="15" height="10"  maxlength="72" value="Baby Doll" onFocus="this.value=''">
<input type="submit" value="Search"  border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="Quick Find" border="0">
</form> 
<!-- Search Form End -->

Here is the code:

 

 

<?php

 

if ( (!strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],'checkout.php')) and (!strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],'create_account.php')) and (!strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],'advanced_search.php'))) {?>

<?php echo tep_draw_form('advanced_search', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'GET') ?>

<table bgcolor="#D8E8F5" border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">

<tr>

<td height="5"></td>

</tr>

 

<tr >

<td width="30%"></td>

<td nowrap valign="middle" ><font size="2"><?php echo BOX_HEADING_SEARCH . ': ';?></font></td>

<td valign="middle" ><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description','1') . tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH) . 'px"') ?></td>

<td valign="middle" > </td>

<td nowrap valign="middle" ><font size="2"><?php echo BOX_ADVSEARCH_CAT ?></font></td>

<td valign="middle" ><?php echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('categories_id', tep_get_categories(array(array('id' => '', 'text' => BOX_ADVSEARCH_ALLCAT)))) ?></td>

<td valign="middle" > </td>

<td valign="top" ><center><?php echo tep_image_submit('go.gif', BOX_HEADING_ADVSEARCH); ?></center></td>

<td width="30%"></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td height="5"></td>

if you want it to search in subdirectories as well,

 

change this line :

 

<td valign="middle" ><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description','1') . tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH) . 'px"') ?></td>

 

 

to this:

 

<td valign="middle" ><?php echo tep_draw_hidden_field('inc_subcat','1') . tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description','1') . tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH) . 'px"') ?></td>

I don't know what a Cpanel is.

 

I put it in Header.php and footer.php

Amanda,

 

Where do I change the text BOX_ADVSEARCH_CAT & BOX_ADVSEARCH_CAT - I should know this one... but my brain hurts. :blink:

 

You can see it |:: Here ::| on the bottom of the page

 

Thanks for the help. :)
