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.

Looks good ... I think others would appreciate you posting this as a contribution in the Downloads ... thanks! :smile:
Contribution has now been submitted for approval.
How to set up the advanced search box showing "below $1", "from $1-$10", "from $15-$50"?
There is no details in your instruction.

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.
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

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.

I want my search box to show horizontal rather then vertical, could you please tell me how I can get this to work??
TY
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.Quote:

I hope someone here can help me. I installed the advanced search sidebox and as you can see the Manufacturer part of the sidebox is overlapping into the center column. Is there a way to adjust this? Ideally I would like this to cut off some of the names unless it is clicked, just like the default Manufacturer sidebox.
Any ideas here?
open your stylesheet.cssQuote:

hope this helps.
Thanks, that worked great. Now is there anyway using the same sidebox to view all items from one Manufacturer without typing a keyword. It throws back an error if you click on a Manufacturer or a category, without at least a keyword or price. Thanks
Thats the job of the manufacturers sidebox. Why dont you just turn that sidebox on?Quote:

Yes it is possible to display on main page. Instructions are in the readme.txt file.
As for the Categories pull down menu - it uses the zen_get_categories function and that doesnt have a depth limiter. So to limit the depth would require some custom code.
thanks for re-pointing me to those instructions. i found them and it's working great.
bummer about the categories, but thanks.
