advance_search problems

[glk]

There just isn't enough info on the forum on hacking the advanced_search.php so I have to ask again. I can;t come up with answer myself inspite of all the vested time.

 

I want to do one of two things; which ever is easiest.

 

 

In the Left_Column 'Quick-Search' Box... Remove advanced_search.php link

 

 

~ OR ~

 

 

In advance_search -- remove options

 

Price From:

Price To:

 

Date From:

Date To:

 

I made my manufacturer's list into a Price Option Search so the Price From/To: is redundant. And I don't want the date search option to show up at all.

 

 

Actually, I really don't need the whole advanced_search option at all since I added a contrib that replaces the out-of-box search.php with same name file that searches the whole site including all product & category descriptions.

 

FYI: Below is the new search.php file. Commented out is the black bolded line and it blocks out the manufacturer's box yet when I comment out the part I show in blue bold, my shopping cart button goes to advanced_search.php instead of shopping cart, so I have uncommented that part even though that line eliminated the link to advanced_search.php from the left-column search box.

Why don't you just edit the /includes/boxes/search.php and change the following:

  $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),
                              'align' => 'center',
                              'text' => tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . 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>');

 

to this:

  $info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),
                              'align' => 'center',
                              'text' => tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT);
