Search "Go Button"
 

Hello.
Simple thing that I can't seem to figure out.

In my search box area, I want to add a "go" or "arrow" button. Some people have been complaining that they didn't know to hit enter.

My question is where do I add this button. Looking into templates etc, but unsure.
Any code would be helpful as well.
Thanks

X-Cart version 4.2.3

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

The search box should have an arrow by default - what skin are you using? The search template is usually skin1/customer/search.tpl

Moving to Template Editing

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

Not sure of the exact name of the skin but coffeysound.com if you want to visit.
I saw the search.tpl under
X Cart Module >
Edit Templates >
Buttons >
search.tpl.

But I am a beginner with Xcart I usually build sites and use a veracart/authoize.net system so this is all new to me.

Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

most definitely missing the button. post code of search.tpl

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

{include file="buttons/button.tpl" button_title=$lng.lbl_search type="input" href=$href title=$title style=$style}

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

that is the entire content of search.tpl?

that is only the code for the button, so how about posting your head.tpl

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

Ashely. Thanks for your help. This is the first time I'm working with X Cart so sorry if I seem new - it's because I am at it.

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

oops... your search is actually in your left-bar.

look in home.tpl and find #left-bar

post that section. Sry for the confusion.

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

No confusion - just very appreciative of the help.

<div id="left-bar">
{if $usertype eq "C"}
{ include file="customer/search.tpl" }
{/if}
{if $categories && ($active_modules.Fancy_Categories || $config.General.root_categories eq "Y" || $subcategories)}

{/if}
{if $active_modules.Bestsellers}
{include file="modules/Bestsellers/menu_bestsellers.tpl" }
{/if}
{if $active_modules.Manufacturers ne "" and $config.Manufacturers.manufacturers_menu eq "Y"}
{include file="modules/Manufacturers/menu_manufacturers.tpl" }
{/if}
{include file="customer/special.tpl"}
{if $active_modules.Survey && $menu_surveys}

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

so are you sure you have looked in skin1/customer/search.tpl??

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

This may be of better use.

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

The search button is commented out. Uncomment (remove the {* *}) from this line
{* {include file="buttons/search_head.tpl"} *}

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

this

{* {include file="buttons/search_head.tpl"} *}

should be

{include file="buttons/search_head.tpl"}



just un-comment button

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

You're awesome, Ashely Thank you. Now I just need to figure how to align it correctly.

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

make sure to hit the little thanks button, so I can win my visa gift card ;)

seriously your welcome

Re: Search "Go Button"
 

tis whole thing

<tr>
{* <tr class="TopLabel" style="padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 5px;"><a href="javascript: document.productsearchform.submit();">{$lng.lbl_se arch}:</a></tr> *}
<td valign="middle"><input type="text" name="posted_data[substring]" size="16" value="{$search_prefilled.substring|escape}" /></td>
</tr><tr valign="middle" style="padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 20px;">{* {include file="buttons/search_head.tpl"} *}</tr>
{*<td><a href="search.php"><u>{$lng.lbl_advanced_search}</u></a></td> *}
</tr>

shoud read like this

<tr>
{* <tr class="TopLabel" style="padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 5px;"><a href="javascript: document.productsearchform.submit();">{$lng.lbl_se arch}:</a></tr> *}
<td valign="middle"><input type="text" name="posted_data[substring]" size="16" value="{$search_prefilled.substring|escape}" /></td>

<tr valign="middle" style="padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 20px;">
<td colspan="2"><a href="search.php"><u>{$lng.lbl_advanced_search}</u></a></td>
