Well as a non-programmer here is a method I tried real quick.

 

BACK UP YOUR HEADER FILE FIRST

 

go to:

 

catalog/includes/boxes/search.php

 

copy everything from <tr> to </tr> and then open:

 

catalog/includes/header.php

 

and paste that code into the header file at the location you want. I would comment out the line that has:

 

tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_account.gif', HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT

 

and paste in the code leaving off the <tr> tags. You will be replacing the graphics on the right side of the header with your search box.

 

You will need to comment out a couple lines to finish up and then maybe do a little monkeying around to get exactly what you want but that will definately put a search box in your header.

 

<tr>

<td>

<?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' => 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>');

 

new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

</td>

</tr>

 

That's about the best I can do on short notice. I often spend days on small stuff like this. Maybe someone else may have a better way.

When i paste the code in the header file, i have a rectangle around the search engine. (comes from the stylesheet.css). if i modify the stylesheet to move this rectangle all my box will be modify. i want to delete this rectangle and keep original design of all my boxes.

 

thanks

You need to comment out the info_box stuff

 

Try this:

 

<td align="center">

<?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_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>';?>

</td>

 

I've got to get some sleep. Good Luck,

or this

<?php 
$hide = tep_hide_session_id(); 
echo '<form name="quick_find" method="get" action="' . tep_href_link (FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false) . '">'; 
echo $hide . '<input type="text" name="keywords" onFocus=this.value="" size="20" maxlength="30" value="' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '"> ' . '<input type="submit" value="Go"><br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '">' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description', '1') . '</a>'; 
echo '</form>'; 
?>

Thanks for your help now its working

 

i want to do the same things with the manufacturers box.

 

is it possible ?

[masat]

Everthing is possible.

 

All it takes is time, research and application.

 

You should be able to follow the basic procedure as with the search box.
