Adding Search function to header

Hi Guys,

 

I have installed the simple template system but now I would like to add the code below into the header, I tried pasting it into the header where I wanted it to appear but nothing shows.

 

I presume it has something to do with sts but I dont know what, can anyone point me in the right direction.

 

<tr class="header">
<td valign="middle" align="right"> 
Search: 
<?php echo tep_draw_form('advanced_search', 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_draw_pull_down_menu('categories_id', tep_get_categories(array(array('id' => '', 'text' => TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES))))?>
</td>
<td valign="middle" width="30" align="center">
<input type="image" src="images/index/go_off.gif" border="0" alt="Quick Find" title=" Quick Find ">
</form>
</td>
</tr>

 

Thanx

STS pulls the placement info from the sts_template.html file so you need to make sure that is where you are making your changes.

 

If you are using sts you cannot add php code to the template. You should try using the $tags instead. To put the search box where you want it to be all you need to do is place the $search tag where you want it to appear.

The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing.

Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems?

There are many very useful osC Contributions

Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here
