I'm trying to move the search function to the left column, right above or below the Catergories section. Customer Support gave me this, but eveytime i do it, i check on the browser and the whole page is white.

1. Create sonny_search.tpl file with the following contents:

{capture name=menu}


{include file="customer/search.tpl"}


{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_search menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }



2. Upload this file into your <xcart_dir>/skin1/ directory.

3. Modify your <xcart_dir>/skin1/customer/home.tpl file, namely:

insert the following code:



{include file="sonny_search.tpl"}



into the place you want, for example, immidiately after:

{include file="customer/special.tpl"}

4. Modify your <xcart_dir>/skin1/customer/search.tpl file, it should contain the following code:

<TABLE border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0>
<form method="get" action="search.php" name=productsearchform>
<tr>
<td width=20></td>
<td valign="middle">
<input type="text" name="substring" size="16" value="{$smarty.get.substring|escape}">
</td>
<td valign="middle">
{include file="buttons/search_head.tpl"}
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=3 align="center"><u>{$lng.lbl_advanced_search}</u></td>
</tr>
</form>
</TABLE>

5. Do not forget to remove the following code:

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

from your <xcart_dir>/skin1/head.tpl file.
// you can just comment it out, like that:

{*{if $usertype eq "C"}
{ include file="customer/search.tpl" }
{/if}*}

I can't seem to get it to work, i've followed the directions numerous times. I'm not sure what Version i'm using, I just bought x-cart a few days ago and got the "Reliable" version. Please Help

so what wont work ? what happens ?

[SonnyZ]

well, right after the last step, i reload my store page in my browser, and the whole page goes white. Blank.

[shan]

you must have added some code in wrong or deleted something that you shouldnt have. check your code again

[Yang Xu]

The codes seem OK for me. If the page is blank, I think that you may miss either "<", or ">" somewhere. You can try step by step to go, not do all at once.

It worked for me.
