Hi all,

Need some help. I would like to modify the search box on my site. I would like to remove the dropdown menu and have only the search box.

can anyone tell me where this template would be?

Ive searched for it and cant find it anywhere.

[leon]

You're on an old version, cause I havent seen that option (dropdown search menu). But it would probably be in /skin1/customer/search I suppose.

[Jeremy Denton]

I found it! figures.. but I dont know what code to pull out.

here it is.

Seams it needs to be restructured, but basically (on an overall view that is) all you have to take out is this:

<tr> 
<td height="10" class="TableCenterCustomerForm" nowrap>{$lng.lbl_in_category}</td> 
<td width="10" height="10"><font class="TableCenterCustomerFormOrange">*</font></td> 
<td height="10"> 
<select name="search_category"> 
<option value="">{$lng.lbl_all}</option> 
{section name=cat_num loop=$allcategories} 
<option value={$allcategories[cat_num].categoryid} {if $smarty.get.search_category eq $allcategories[cat_num].categoryid}selected{/if}>{$allcategories[cat_num].category}</option> 
{/section} 
</select> 
</td> 
</tr>

Give it try.

[Jeremy Denton]

I pulled that out. and its still there.

I was hoping to avoid paying my webguy to do it. But, oh well.

[leon]

I know what your problem is. I viewed your site, and the search box doesnt refer directly to search.tpl, it is referring to /skin1/customer/main/minisearch.tpl

So go in there and take out the code mentioned.

[Jeremy Denton]

here is the code that is in the minisearch. the problem is, every time I make a change; it gives me an error. "permission denied. not saved"

When you work with TPL files or on any file on your server actually, you need to have the right persmissions set in order to work with them.

If you are using webmaster mode, first you need to give chmod 777 permissions on your skin folder.

I would personally recommend to FTP the file.

[janetallard]

Leon-
Can you be more specific on where to address this chmod 777 in the skin folder?

I am having a similar problem with a different template getting the same error message.

Thanks,
Janet

If you have an FTP client, just give it the CHMOD command that it needs to properly handle the files.

For example, you could use WS_FTP as the client, login to your site, look thru the directories and find the files you need to address the permits on.

When you find the file, mark it and open with right click a window for detailed information. You will see an option that says CHMOD, when you click that it opens another window where you can see options for permission, just check all of them and that will give them the necesary permissions to be executable, readable, and writable ( 777 ).

But it is more secure to give 666 file permissions to be able to edit them via the admin panel.
