Search Focus Dropdown

[Brettflan]

That theme's search form must be designed completely differently from the default theme then.

Since your theme is a commercial one, I don't know whether it would be legal for you to provide the index.template.php file from it. At this point, however, I don't see any other way forward.

I don't know either, but I'm attaching it here. Let me know once you have it and I'll delete it. Thank you.

[Brettflan]

OK, downloaded it.... well, that explains it. There is no search form in your index.template.php file. I'm assuming the theme author moved it to a different .template.php file, but I have no way of knowing where.

You might try searching for some of the previous strings I had you look for within other theme files. Personally, that's a job I'd use a tool like Search&Replace for.

How-To make wieved SEARCH FOCUS DROPDOWN on first forum page with search in google or entire forum or somewhere else?

[Brettflan]

That depends... do you already have search set up to use Google? Is it from a different mod, or what?
Either way, it would take a moderate amount of extra work to get it set up.

It doesn't appear to exist. I checked every single file in the theme and couldn't find another single instance of "search" anywhere, besides css display. Must be something he's done in JS, which is beyond me. Thanks for looking at it, though.

I don't have any search mods except SEARCH FOCUS DROPDOWN. I talk about search from first forum page, how make it viewed in there? And add search box in search in users stuff? Please give me a code for it.

It's not showing up on your forum index? Are you using the Simple Portal addon? If so, apparently it removes the search form from the index. There were a couple of people earlier who found that to be the case.
I don't know what you're referring to when you say you want a search box in "users stuff". Personal Messages? Member List?

Hmm... could you provide a link to the forum, or a screenshot of what exactly you're talking about?

here default theme index.template.php

[Brettflan]

Ah, sorry, I'm not always firing on all cylinders lately; too much stuff going on. I checked your file and saw that the mod is installed fine on it. However, I then realized that your forum is exhibiting normal behavior for the mod. I must be losing it.
There isn't supposed to be a dropdown on the index page, since searches from there can only be for the "entire forum". Topic searches and board searches don't apply since you're not inside a board or topic; you're at the index.

[apTyaH]

Whether but, there is what a way to make for example as at this forum, that search box was active on all pages including main?

It makes sense for the forum here because they have other content hooked in (Modifications, Themes, Online Manual).
Answer me this then, what would be the purpose of a dropdown with only one option ("Entire forum")?

EDIT: though, if you do have other options you want to add in like that for you own forum, feel free. Just edit the dropdown code to include more options in it (the code added to index.template.php), add in another case there to have it show the dropdown on the index, and add in some code to the block added to Search.php to handle the new options however you see fit.

[apTyaH]

As example can you post some useful code for search box? Some for users or something else?

If I had a useful example, I'd probably just add it in to the mod. However, if you just need some reference, then...

Among the dropdown options for topics:

Code Select Expand

                    <option value="topic" selected="selected">', $txt['search_scope_topic'], '</option>
                    <option value="board">', $txt['search_scope_board'], '</option>
                    <option value="all">', $txt['search_scope_all'], '</option>

and boards:

Code Select Expand

                    <option value="board" selected="selected">', $txt['search_scope_board'], '</option>
                    <option value="all">', $txt['search_scope_all'], '</option>
You could add another option, like so, to both of the above:

Code Select Expand

                    <option value="askjeeves">Ask Jeeves</option>

If you wanted the dropdown to show up on the index, you could add in the following right after the if...elseif block which determines if it's within a board or topic:

Code Select Expand

    // We must be on a page other than within a board or topic, such as the index
    else
        echo '
                <select name="search_scope">
                    <option value="all" selected="selected">', $txt['search_scope_all'], '</option>
                    <option value="askjeeves">Ask Jeeves</option>
                </select>';


You would then need to add in code to Search.php to handle the new option, similar to this:

Code Select Expand

    if ($s_scope == "askjeeves")
    {    //if they chose "Ask Jeeves", redirect the user's browser appropriately
        ob_end_clean();
        header( 'HTTP/1.1 302 Found' );
        header( 'Status: 302 Found' );
        header( 'Location: http://www.askjeeves.com/?q=' . urlencode($_REQUEST['search']) );
        exit();
    }
The above is appropriately designed, but (as far as I know) is nonworking; I didn't bother checking the real Ask Jeeves query method and just made up the query style in the above askjeeves.com URL.

If you need more help than that, I can only recommend you take some time to learn basic PHP before trying to mess around with it.
