Search function missing

[Googlebutts]

My search box has disappeared :( Is there something that I can change in this code to make it show back up? I found the code here:

/home/content/g/o/o/googlebutts/html//includes/boxes

<?php

/*

$Id: search.php,v 1.22 2003/02/10 22:31:05 hpdl Exp $

<?php

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_SEARCH);

 

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),

'align' => 'center',

'text' => '

<tr><td><em><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '">' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</a></em></td></tr>

');

 

new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

  require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'search.php');

Check /includes/column_left.php for that line of code.

[Googlebutts]

Found it. Now what do I do to it :huh: There area lot of boxes listed there that are nowhere to be found on the site.

[germ]

I really don't understand the Q?

:unsure:

 

Is that line of code there? If not add it and see what happens. BACKUP THE FILE FIRST!!!

 

It's possible that your TEMPLATE isn't coded to use it (there is an advanced search in the footer).

 

If you require help adding the code post the contents of column_left.php and I'll show you where.

[Googlebutts]

It's on the footer, I'm dork, didn't see it somehow :rolleyes: Is there a way to put a box somwhere on the top or side of the page?

[germ]

You could try adding the line of code to column_left.php and see what happens...

:blink:

[Googlebutts]

The coding is there. The ones that actually show up say include, the others say require. Is that what I should change for what I want to show on hte left? And is it the same for the right? Here is a copy:

Change this:

 

// require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'search.php');

to

 

 require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'search.php');

And see what happens.

 

BACKUP FIRST!!!

 

You break it - You bought it...

:blush:

 

If you don't like the results change it back.

;)

You break it - You bought it...LMAO

If it works at all we can reposition it's location in the left column if you like.
