Adding 'Search for Events' on the homepage
 

I want to be able to add the 'Search for Events' form from the gift registry add-on to the home page, in the middle area above featured products.

Is there a way to include this and how?

Thanks,
Simonetta

Thanks! So just open up skin1/customer/main/welcome.tpl and add the link wherever you want.

So will this add the form or the entire page I want the actual form to be displayed on the front page. Doesn't 'giftregs.php' display the whole site as well as the 'search for events' form?
Thanks

You can add the whole form (not the php file) to the template if you wish, yes.

So where do I get the form from? giftreg.php? and if so what part of the code do I copy into welcome.tpl

require "./auth.php";

if (empty($active_modules["Gift_Registry"]))
func_header_location("error_message.php?page_not_f ound");

x_session_register("access_status", array());


if ($mode == "preview") {
$html_content = func_query_first_cell("SELECT html_content FROM $sql_tbl[giftreg_events] WHERE event_id='$eventid'");
if (!empty($html_content))
echo $html_content;
else
echo "<br /><br /><br /><br /><h3 align=\"center\">".func_get_langvar_by_name("lbl_n o_html_content",false,false,true)."</h3>";
exit;
}

include $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php";

if($active_modules["Manufacturers"])
include $xcart_dir."/modules/Manufacturers/customer_manufacturers.php";

if (!empty($cc)) {
#
# Confirm/Decline the participation by recipient
# $cc - is a confirmation code passed via GET request
#
include $xcart_dir."/modules/Gift_Registry/giftreg_confirm.php";
}

if (!empty($eventid)) {

if (!empty($wlid)) {
if (func_query_first_cell("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $sql_tbl[giftreg_events] WHERE MD5(login)='$wlid' AND event_id='$eventid'")) {
x_session_register("wlid_eventid");
$wlid_eventid = $eventid;
x_session_save("wlid_eventid");
}
}

include $xcart_dir."/modules/Gift_Registry/event_guestbook.php";
include $xcart_dir."/modules/Gift_Registry/giftreg_display.php";
}
else
include $xcart_dir."/modules/Gift_Registry/giftreg_search.php";

# Assign the current location line
$smarty->assign("location", $location);

func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty);
?>

Ok, in X-Cart, you never really need to touch the php. All of the files you need are in the templates. For the gift registry, all of the files are in the skin1/modules/Gift_Registry folder. Simply use Webmater Mode to find out which template you are looking for, and then open that template to see the form code for the part you are looking for. May want to read this thread to give you some guidance on the template system in X-Cart:

Thank you I got the form on the front page. So you need to find the html somewhere in the template pages and add them to other template pages and so on?

All of the html is in templates, yes.
