[richardhaigh]

Hi All,

 

Would appreciate some help on this one. Im new to oscommerce but after a lot of forum searching ive managed to get my site live and working.

 

However on my site I have two areas at the top of my page I would like to remove and replace with a product search box

 

Website is

 

http://marquee-electrics.co.uk/catalog/

 

Everything i try results in errors, so would really appreciate some help or pointers with this.

 

Thanks in advance

I believe the code is in your header.php

 

Replace:

 

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'languages.php');

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'currencies.php');

 

 

With:

 

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'search.php');

 

or

 

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'search.php');

 

Post what you find in your header.php near or around the languages.php part and maybe we can figure it out.. Question is a little vague

 

 

When I view source it looks like this:

 

<td width="138" height="85">

<br style="line-height:24px">

Currencies:<br>

<br style="line-height:13px"><form name="currencies" action="http://marquee-electrics.co.uk/catalog/index.php" method="get"><select name="currency" onChange="this.form.submit();" class="jamp"><option value="GBP" SELECTED>Pound</option></select><input type="hidden" name="osCsid" value="6paebd42cqmjuf2vc4iga6tg74"></form> </td>

<td width="1" height="85"><img src="images/li.gif" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="85"><br></td>

<td width="20" height="85"></td>

<td width="132" height="85">

<br style="line-height:26px">

Languages:<br>

<br style="line-height:11px">

<a href="http://marquee-electrics.co.uk/catalog/index.php?language=en&osCsid=6paebd42cqmjuf2vc4iga6tg74"><img src="includes/languages/english/images/icon.gif" border="0" alt="English" title=" English " width="24" height="15"></a><img src="images/spacer.gif" border="0" alt="" width="10" height="1"><br>

</td>

 

 

Ultimately what you are after is:

 

<td colspan="2">

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'search.php');

</TD>

 

It shouldn't be that easy but you need to replace 2 td with 1 so colspan=2

 

Hope something in there helps.

Thanks for your help,

 

All sorted, found the coding in header.php, altered the table dimensions then copied and pasted the coding fromm the add-on "search box anywhere" by Bigredman74

Many thanks again,

 

Just got to figure out how to display results in a text list rather than gallery style!

 

Cheers
