Search button removal

[TheListener]

I want to get rid of one of the search facilities on the forum.

Either the search button in the menu bar or the unsightly search bar located on the top right of the forum below the slogan.

Can this be done? 

[kat]

Just thinking out loud, here...


index.template.php


Remove:    <link rel="search" href="' . $scripturl . '?action=search" />


That ought to get rid of one of 'em. (Keep a backup, obviously)

[kat]

Delete this lot, too?

Code Select Expand



echo '
<div id="news_section" class="titlebg2 clearfix"', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', '>
<form class="floatright" id="search_form" action="', $scripturl, '?action=search2" method="post" accept-charset="', $context['character_set'], '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=search;advanced" title="', $txt['search_advanced'], '"><img id="advsearch" src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/filter.gif" align="middle" alt="', $txt['search_advanced'], '" /></a>
<input type="text" name="search" value="" style="width: 190px;" class="input_text" />&nbsp;
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="', $txt['search'], '" style="width: 11ex;" class="button_submit" />
<input type="hidden" name="advanced" value="0" />';

// Search within current topic?
if (!empty($context['current_topic']))
echo '
<input type="hidden" name="topic" value="', $context['current_topic'], '" />';
// If we're on a certain board, limit it to this board ;).
elseif (!empty($context['current_board']))
echo '
<input type="hidden" name="brd[', $context['current_board'], ']" value="', $context['current_board'], '" />';

echo '
</form>';

Thanks Kat.

(passes the toy mouse)

[kat]

Don't thank me, 'til you're tried it.


I may have sold you a kipper. 

[TheListener]

Kat wheres that mouse I take it back.

Bad news bud. had an error

[kat]

* Kat wanders off to his test forum and tries a few things...

Back in a while...

[kat]

EW!


I didn't get an error, but it sure screwed the graphics!


I'll try a few things. This was sooo much easier to do with v1.1.11.

[kat]

Not exactly whay you want, but you could always delete Search.template.php....

[kat]

To get rid of the search box, find and delete this from index.template.php:

Code Select Expand

        <div class="news normaltext">
            <form id="search_form" style="margin: 0;" action="', $scripturl, '?action=search2" method="post" accept-charset="', $context['character_set'], '">
               <input type="text" name="search" value="" class="input_text" />&nbsp;
               <input type="submit" name="submit" value="', $txt['search'], '" class="button_submit" />
               <input type="hidden" name="advanced" value="0" />';

      // Search within current topic?
      if (!empty($context['current_topic']))
         echo '
               <input type="hidden" name="topic" value="', $context['current_topic'], '" />';
         // If we're on a certain board, limit it to this board.
      elseif (!empty($context['current_board']))
         echo '
               <input type="hidden" name="brd[', $context['current_board'], ']" value="', $context['current_board'], '" />';

      echo '</form>';

      // Show a random news item? (or you could pick one from news_lines...)
      if (!empty($settings['enable_news']))
         echo '
            <h2>', $txt['news'], ': </h2>
            <p>', $context['random_news_line'], '</p>';

      echo '
         </div>



That gets rid of the News thingy, too, though. Leave that bit in, if you need that.

[TheListener]

Almost there.

Was asking for a , on line 302

Nevermind it was only a thought of mine.

( yep I'm a fussy git)

[kat]

Bugger.


There're two closed divs, at the end. Should only be one...


Amended. 

[kat]

This is a bit dirty, for the other "Search" thing. Not sure if it'll screw anything else...


If you look at index.english.php, in the default theme's languages directory, you can delete this line:


$txt['search'] = 'Search';


That'll get rid of the buttony thing, but leave a small gap, instead.


Not ideal, I'll grant you.

Tried to get rid of the search box ( keeping the news fader) had no joy. Gave me an error saying there was a missing , or ; on line 302

[kat]

I just tried that and got similar.


Wish I knew php...


I'll fart around and see if I can figure it.

[TheListener]

Make sure ya windows are open first.

[kat]

Ha!


I prob'ly just need to echo something, but I can't figure it...


Still farting around...

[kat]

This'll probably make a real coder shudder. But, I just removed these two lines and it seems to work...

Code Select Expand

<input type="text" name="search" value="" class="input_text" />&nbsp;
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="', $txt['search'], '" class="button_submit" />

[TheListener]

Woohoo

You have just earned a years supply of catnip.

That did the job just nicely.

[kat]

Phew!


I really must learn some php...
