Search Box Help

[BigNath]

Hi All
Any help would be greatly appreciated, firstly I would like to point out that I need the Search sidebox turned on, I want the search criteria box to appear but not the words 'Advanced Search' (hyperlink) - does anyone know how to turn this text off or hide this wording?
Many Thanks in advance.

Don't think you can turn off the Advanced Search but if you simply want to get rid of it then take a look at the following file:

includes\templates\template_default\sideboxest\tpl_search.php

if it was me I'd put a copy in the overide directory and then comment out the line:

$content .= '<br /><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '">' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</a>';

haven't done it so you may need to play around with the file to get the formatting correct for the box, may be worth just removing just the link/name. Don't forget it's in an If statemnt.

Make sure you back up as I'm a cut and paste artist so it may not be the best method. Don't suppose you know anything about the CSS Flyout contribution and IE6?

This is how I did it. Go to the english.php file . This is where mine is because I use custom for my template folder name.

/includes/languages/custom/english.php

Then remove the words Advanced Search from line 95

define('BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH', 'Advanced Search');

This is what it will look like when you finish.

define('BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH', '');

Now the Advanced Search will not show up in the side box.

Thanks for the tip!

I have placed search instructions over the "Advanced Search" Search sidebox. I found that putting more than one subcategory on my categories seems confusing and this Advanced Search is a very good alternative. But it needs to be more compact, and probably should be highlighted somehow.

Is there any way to make it single-spaced or highlighted without calling attention from my products? My site is: http://www.musicstudiostore.com.

Thanks.
