I want to add a simple search box so customers can search and quickly find a certain product.
According to the Xcart manual, the search.tpl template should be located in the skin1/customer folder but it's not there. Is there somewhere I can get it?

Enable debugging mode in general settings.
You can see what files are called on a page, including the search template.

Thank you for your reply.

I enabled the debugging console but I don't see a search.tpl listed there either.
I'm working on this with another person and I'm wondering if it was deleted by accident. Is there a way I can get the original search.tpl file back?

I see a search_sort_by.tpl but I don't think that's what I'm currently looking for.

Could be that its because its not in an actual template file.

Look in /skin1/customer/head.tpl and search for "search" without the quotes.

Quote:

<div class="search">
<div class="sin">{$lng.lbl_search}:</div>
<form method="post" action="search.php" name="productsearchform" class="sin">

<input type="hidden" name="simple_search" value="Y" />
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="search" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_title]" value="Y" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_descr]" value="Y" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[by_sku]" value="Y" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[search_in_subcategories]" value="Y" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[including]" value="all" />

{strip}

<input type="text" class="srchin" name="posted_data[substring]" size="16" value="{$search_prefilled.substring|escape}" />
{include file="customer/buttons/button.tpl" type="input" button_title="OK"}
{*<a href="search.php" class="search">{$lng.lbl_advanced_search}</a>*}
{/strip}

</form>

</div>

That would be my search form.

I looked in skin1/customer/head.tpl and this is the only reference to search I found.

Quote:

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

It seems like this would be a simple feature, easily enabled.

the search function is automatically enabled in x-cart. And by the looks of the code you should see the search box.

can you provide the URL?

Your whole header is redesigned and the original code for search.tpl is deleted. Open skin1_original/customer/head.tpl, get the code from there and inserted back to skin1/cusotmer/head.tpl
Or even better copy the original head.tpl to skin1/customer and start over. You are using 4.2.x and it's css based and you are putting back tables - no good

Thank you everyone for your input. Problem solved.
