moving search bar
 

My site is at 216.75.30.97.

I want to move the search bar to the right hand side of the logo area

How is this done?

Re: moving search bar
 

Hi there,

in skin1/head.tpl

You could try moving...
{if $usertype eq "C"}
{ include file="customer/search.tpl" }
{/if}

into your empty...
<td class="HeadRightBox">

It will get messy so remember to back up. As you'll need to do a few things to get it sitting right.

Also, use webmaster mode - it's your friend.

Regards,
Doms

Re: moving search bar
 

thanks kube...where do I go to comment the old one out?

Re: moving search bar
 

also what coding would i put in to make it align right?

Re: moving search bar
 

The original search box is located further down in head.tpl using the same code as I mentioned.

Also where you have placed the new snip into the TD HeadRightBox, surround it with {if $main ne "fast_lane_checkout"} so it looks like...

<td class="HeadRightBox">
{if $main ne "fast_lane_checkout"}
{if $usertype eq "C"}
{ include file="customer/search.tpl" }
{/if}
{/if}
</td>

Re: moving search bar
 

I have implemented this and it seems to be working fine..thank you

Re: moving search bar
 

toolexperts you're going to have to watch out what's happening with the code, becareful.

At the moment you have a TD HeadRightBox inside another TD HeadRightBox.

Also your TD Container isn't closed - but that isn't an effect of moving the search bar. Make sure you have these sorted otherwise it will become a headache. This is the reason why things aren't aligning as to how you wish.

Re: moving search bar
 

**scratches head** it looks fine to me....what do i need to fix? Thanks in advance

Re: moving search bar
 

It may look fine but something is wrong somewhere.

From viewing your source and half-way down, this is what is corrupting it (a HTML comment from me shows the problem below)...

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
</td> <!---<<<<<<< The problem is here, a closing </TD> tag with no beginning/open <TD> tag! -->
<td class="HeadLine" align="right">&nbsp;

</td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
</td>
</tr>
</table><!-- main area -->


Hope this helps.

Re: moving search bar
 

ok that should have killed it...thanks!

Re: moving search bar
 

The problem looks like it is still there. View the source.

Also when you have sorted that. To get that search box right aligned go into customer/search.tpl and edit...
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
to
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="right">

Re: moving search bar
 

I have looked everywhere for the code you reference as being an issue...here is my head.tpl

Re: moving search bar
 

Here it is, find...

{if $main ne "fast_lane_checkout"}
<tr>
{*<td class="HeadLine" height="22">
{if $usertype eq "C"}
{ include file="customer/search.tpl" }
{/if}*}
</td>
<td class="HeadLine" align="right">

Change it to (noting where the ending comment has moved to and the additional colspan in the following TD)...

{if $main ne "fast_lane_checkout"}
<tr>
{*<td class="HeadLine" height="22">
{if $usertype eq "C"}

Remember to back up & let us know your results.

Re: moving search bar
 

ok implemented that....thanks! Also, the search bar since it has moved there is a line or block of black below my speed bar now, ho can i remedy this?

Re: moving search bar
 

ok figured that out yet when i removed it i get a huge line of blank space...is there a way to bring the categories and featured products flush with the speed bar now?

Re: moving search bar
 

I think the extra black bar you have there is for printable pages - if you are not going to use printable pages then you can comment it out.

Edit: I have that wrong. Looking into it.

Re: moving search bar
 

i dont see anything about printable pages in the head code...

when I delete instead of comment out the code you and I fixed...it erases that bar yet leaves a empty space.

Re: moving search bar
 

Yup you're right. Sorry mine has printable pages there.

It's a case of getting rid of that great whacking table from...

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
{if $main ne "fast_lane_checkout"}

I'm a little uneasy about removing this table as I am not sure if you'll be needing it or not.

Re: moving search bar
 

what exactly does fast lane checkout do? I am setting the site up so the customer login will be a button on the speed bar.

Re: moving search bar
 

i tried pulling it out...got a error message about an unexpected R, put it back in site back up

Re: moving search bar
 

if you look at the site i have removed the black bar...there is just that huge butted space there

Re: moving search bar
 

ahh frig...ok lemme fix what i screwed up

Re: moving search bar
 

ok fixed it now you can see the big butted break lol

Re: moving search bar
 

ok found the fast lane checkout in the head.tpl code...that is why when i blasted the other code it went ape...is there anyway to get rid of that small area?

Re: moving search bar
 

the area that i am referring to can be seen at 21.75.30.97, if anyone can help me get the blank space between the speed bar and the categories and featured items removed i will be eternally grateful

Re: moving search bar
 

I think you mean 216.75.30.97

What does this piece of code do:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="FLCAuthPreBox">
<img src="/skin1/images/spacer.gif" class="Spc" alt="" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
?

Try commenting it out and see what happens.

Re: moving search bar
 

no go....

Re: moving search bar
 

Below is what is creating the extra row... Make sure that it doesn't contain print-page buttons and anything else when you log in too. Also, the functionality of the login box within the snippet has disappeared so if you have replaced it to somewhere else then it should be safe to remove.

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="HeadLine" align="right">
&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="HeadLine">
<form action="/include/login.php" method="post" name="toploginform">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="logout" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="customer" />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="FLCAuthPreBox">
<img src="/skin1/images/spacer.gif" class="Spc" alt="" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</td>

</tr>
</table>

Re: moving search bar
 

tried that cube...it removed the whole entire header lol

Re: moving search bar
 

Hmm odd. Are you sure you're removing the right tables?

Those tables do not contain any links, logo, text or anything apart from a form. And previewing it in my browser through Dreamweaver seems to give the desired result.

Re: moving search bar
 

ok i commented out a part of it which seems to have removed a partial part of the line, there is still a break there, I am appending my code and experimenting as we speak if anyone can pinpoint the problem please let me know

Re: moving search bar
 

Crumbs this could get messy if you're unsure as to what you're doing.

Also I do apologise for creating a profile - I had to check what was going on when you log in. You seemed to have moved everything in alternate places so they're still functioning which is good.

By the way you get an error when you have successfully registered. Moving on...


1. try commenting this portion out and report your results. Hopefully it should get you a tiny bit closer...

Re: moving search bar
 

ok that worked but my speed bar went bye bye

Re: moving search bar
 

Well this is your speed bar below - but this is not included in the parts I said to comment out. Um. So how did that happen? Make sure you're commenting out the right portion from above.
