Advanced Search as a sidebox
For a particular situation I wanted the Advanced Search inputs to be displayed in the a search sidebox rather than having to click thru to it. As a result I implemented the Advanced Search as its own sidebox. You can see this working at http://www.zencart.web2.co.nz/ (doesn't show on home page - click into any other page).
If there is any interest in this I can post the sidebox as a contribution.

Re: Advanced Search as a sidebox
How to set up the advanced search box showing "below $1", "from $1-$10", "from $15-$50"?
There is no details in your instruction.

Re: Advanced Search as a sidebox
The only difference between the standard Advanced Search and this contrib is that it is in sidebox format. You can't get any additional search fields unless you create new filters.
Re: Advanced Search as a sidebox
I just installed this contrib...When I perform a search with a keyword it gives an error regarding £0 amount searchs and I have to enter a value, have you come across this before? Also, to change the length of the input boxes do I change that via the css or is there another way of achieving this?
Thanks

Re: Advanced Search as a sidebox
No haven't heard of this before. But also have not tried it with zencart version 1.3.7.
This test will tell you if the problem is the contribution:
1. Turn off advanced_search sidebox in layout boxes controller
2. Turn on the normal search sidebox
3. Click on "Advanced Search" in sidebox
4. Use the Advanced Search to do a search
If it works OK then the problem is with the contribution.
Let me know what happens.

As a sidebox it will only go in left or right column so not sure how you could fit all the fields horizontal unless you mean you want it in the header or footer area i.e full width.
