osCommerce Knowledge Base: Add the Search Form To Other Pages Help

[ecom_guy]

Hello everyone,

 

I am currently trying to make this Trick (http://www.oscommerce.info/kb/osCommerce/General_Information/Tips_and_Tricks/55) found in the osCommerce Knowledge Base work on my index page.

 

I would like to know where to copy and paste the following code:

 

<?php echo tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get') . osc_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . osc_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description' , '1') . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '"><b>' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</b></a></form>';?>

 

So it will be visible amongst the main text on the index page.

 

Thank-you for your help.

In /index.php - down at the bottom there is an else {} that writes out the default page. Just underneath the row where TEXT_MAIN is written to teh page - create another table row and insert that code inside it:

 

<tr>

<td><?php echo tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get') . osc_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . osc_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description' , '1') . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '"><b>' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</b></a></form>';?></td>

</tr>

Hi there,

 

The code now looks like this (per your instruction)

 

<tr>

<td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td><?php echo tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get') . osc_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . osc_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description' , '1') . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '"><b>' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</b></a></form>';?></td>

</tr>

 

I got an error on the main page when this code was entered: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: osc_draw_input_field() in /home/nzchf/public_html/nz/index.php on line 310

The code on the knowldege base is wrong. You have to change the 'osc' references to 'tep'. Change it to this and it will work:

 

<?php echo tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get') . tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description' , '1') . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '"><b>' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</b></a></form>';?>
