Stripping out box code but keeping the content

[jimbeeer]

Let's say for example i have the search box, with the boxes.php module and the search.php it produces the following code:

 

 <!-- search //-->

	 <tr>
		<td>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
<td width="100%" height="14" class="infoBoxHeading">  Quick Find</td>
 </tr>
</table>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" class="infoBox">
 <tr>
<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" class="infoBoxContents">

 <tr>
 </tr>
 <tr>
<td align="center" class="boxText"><form name="quick_find" action="advanced_search_result.php" method="get"><input type="text" name="keywords" size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: 95px"> <input type="image" src="includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_quick_find.gif" border="0" alt="Quick Find" title=" Quick Find "><br>Use keywords to find the product you are looking for.<br><a href="advanced_search.php<b>Advanced Search</b></a></form></td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
<td><img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" border="0" alt="" width="100%" height="1"></td>
 </tr>

</table>
</td>
 </tr>
</table>
		</td>
	  </tr>
<!-- search_eof //-->

 

 

All i want it to produce is:

 

<form name="quick_find" action="advanced_search_result.php" method="get"><input type="text" name="keywords" size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: 95px"> <input type="image" src="includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_quick_find.gif" border="0" alt="Quick Find" title=" Quick Find "><br>Use keywords to find the product you are looking for.<br><a href="advanced_search.php<b>Advanced Search</b></a></form>

 

Can anyone help?

Unfortunately all of the infoboxes run through the tablebox class to turn the output into a nice array of nested tables and such to make it all work.

 

If you install STS however, you can modify the infobox style with a simple template.

That's the best option.

I'm not sure that option will be sufficient as i have to completely move over the search text box and put it into the header, along with the manufacturers box and a categories dropdown box, so i can't have any td or tr tags around it at all.

 

I don't mind completely butchering boxes.php as it won't actually be used at all. I just need to completely strip it down to its bare elements so it shows nothing more than the contents

If you want the search box in the header lets say to the right of the my account, cart contents and checkout links, add this

	<td valign="middle" class="headerNavigation" align="right"><?php echo tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get') . BOX_HEADING_SEARCH . 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) . '</form>';?></td>

That will take it out of the infox class and put in <td></td> tags of the <tr></tr> that you want.

Absolutely brilliant, exactly what i wanted. Many thanks to you and your family for raising such a smart person.

 

I actually needed it for the manufacturers box as well as the search box.

 

the code i've used for the manufacturers box is:

 

<?php $manufacturers_query = tep_db_query("select manufacturers_id, manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " order by manufacturers_name");$manufacturers_array = array();
  if (MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST < 2) {
	$manufacturers_array[] = array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT);
  }

  while ($manufacturers = tep_db_fetch_array($manufacturers_query)) {
	$manufacturers_name = ((strlen($manufacturers['manufacturers_name']) > MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) ? substr($manufacturers['manufacturers_name'], 0, MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) . '..' : $manufacturers['manufacturers_name']);
	$manufacturers_array[] = array('id' => $manufacturers['manufacturers_id'],
								   'text' => $manufacturers_name);
  };echo tep_draw_form('manufacturers', tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get') . tep_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturers_array, (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] : ''), 'onChange="this.form.submit();" size="' . MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST . '" style="width: 100%"') . tep_hide_session_id(); ?>

Hi Brian,

 

I know you posted this a while back, but I was if could tell me exactly how to edit header.php to put the search box to the right of checkout in the header. If I simply paste this line under line 67 of a stock layout,

 

<td align="right" class="headerNavigation"><?php if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { ?><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a>  |  <?php } ?><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a>  |  <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a>  |  <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a>   </td>

 

 

then my account, cart contents, and checkout get moved to the center.

 

Thanks,

 

Nick

Try changing

   <td align="right" class="headerNavigation"><?php if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) { ?><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a>  |  <?php } ?><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a>  |  <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a>  |  <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>" class="headerNavigation"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a>   </td>

Thanks Brian! I know I can't be the first to have that question, so I think your post will prove very useful to a lot of people. Just one quick question: the default image button_quick_find.gif doesn't seem to line up with the search box as it's slightly raised. I'm going to switch out this lame button later on anyways, but is there anything I need to do in the coding to get things lined up or will I just take care of that in photoshop or the oscButton generator website? Thanks again for your help,
