Search needed.

[tim_ver]

Right now I do not have any search the site on my main page and want add it. I have the search.php in the includes/boxes folder. What do I need to add to have it display on the main index.php page?

 

What files to edit with what code?

 

Thanks much :)

Add this code to one of the column files:

  require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'search.php');

In my column_left.php now I have:

 

if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {

echo tep_cache_categories_box();

} else {

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php');

}

 

 

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'whats_new.php');

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'search.php');

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'information.php');

?>

 

 

And the only thing that shows up is categories. Which the heading is Our Stuff.

 

Why is it now displaying the what's new and search?

 

Thanks

It sounds like you are using a template system that doesn't use the column_left.php file.

It is a template file driven site. I have a column_right.php and a column_left.php. Can I incorporate this into the site now with some lines of code so control is easier?

 

Thanks Much

If the template isn't set up to use them, you can't usually add them since the appearanc will be all wrong. You may be able to add the individaul lines to include a box though. You will just need to find where the template makers have added the code in the column.
