Search field in themes index

[JayBachatero]

I would like to know how can i add the search field into the inde page so users can search the gallery directly from the main page and not have to go to search page.

Add the following to template.html

Code Select Expand

<!-- add search box -->

<div style="position:absolute; top:2px; right:0">
<form method="get" action="thumbnails.php" name="searchcpg">
<input type="hidden" name="album" value="search">
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="full">
<input type="text" style="width: 150px" name="search" maxlength="255" value="" class="textinput">
<input type="submit" value="search files">
</form>
</div>

edit styles accordingly

...it's really cool the search field in the home but how can I have the search button with its "search" text translated for every language?

I'm trying to do it but I'm not a php expert...
Thank you people;)

Adjust the code in template to use a placeholder instead

Code Select Expand

<input type="submit" value="{SEARCH_TEXT}">

Then treat it as a custom header in theme.php

Code Select Expand


function pageheader($section, $meta = '')
{
    global $CONFIG, $THEME_DIR;
    global $template_header, $lang_charset, $lang_text_dir;
    global $lang_main_menu; // Added

    $charset = ($CONFIG['charset'] == 'language file') ? $lang_charset : $CONFIG['charset'];

    header('P3P: CP="CAO DSP COR CURa ADMa DEVa OUR IND PHY ONL UNI COM NAV INT DEM PRE"');
    header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=$charset");
    user_save_profile();

    $template_vars = array('{LANG_DIR}' => $lang_text_dir,
        '{TITLE}' => $CONFIG['gallery_name'] . ' - ' . $section,
        '{CHARSET}' => $charset,
        '{META}' => $meta,
        '{GAL_NAME}' => $CONFIG['gallery_name'],
        '{GAL_DESCRIPTION}' => $CONFIG['gallery_description'],
        '{MAIN_MENU}' => USER_IS_ADMIN ? theme_main_menu() : '',
        '{ADMIN_MENU}' => theme_admin_mode_menu(),
'{SEARCH_TEXT}' => $lang_main_menu['search_lnk'] // Added
        );

    echo template_eval($template_header, $template_vars);
}

hello nibbler, could you tell me where/how I've to do it in the "theme.php" of the 1.4.1 version?
I've tried to do it alone but I'm little confused

thank you

[Nibbler]

Copy the pageheader function from the sample theme into your theme's theme.php and modify it as above.

Got this to work with my custom theme, how do I center it as its aligned right.

The following code is what I added:

<div style="center:0">
                     <form method="get" action="thumbnails.php" name="searchcpg">
                     <input type="hidden" name="album" value="search">
                     <input type="hidden" name="type" value="full">
                     <input type="text" style="width: 300px" name="search" maxlength="255" value="" class="textinput">
                     <input type="submit" value="Search">
                     </form>
            </div>

I've added center but its still aligned right.

Any help will be great.

Thanks, will

<div style="align:center">

I've been playing around and got it centered but when align center when you search nothing comes up even tho you have them in the gallery:

This is how I have it now aligned left & search results appear!

<div style="align:center">
   <form method="get" action="thumbnails.php" name="searchcpg">
   <input type="hidden" name="album" value="search">
   <input type="hidden" name="type" value="full">
   <input type="text" style="width: 400px" name="search" maxlength="400" value="" class="textinput">
   <input type="submit" value="Search">
   </form>
      </div>

If I take out the style after div, the search box is aligned center but no search results appear!!

<div="align:center">
   <form method="get" action="thumbnails.php" name="searchcpg">
   <input type="hidden" name="album" value="search">
   <input type="hidden" name="type" value="full">
   <input type="text" style="width: 400px" name="search" maxlength="400" value="" class="textinput">
   <input type="submit" value="Search">
   </form>

Hope you can understand

Regards, will
