Moving searchbar so its inside header image

[v.kirk]

The title pretty much explains it. i want to move my searchbar up so its inside the header image, so instead of looking like this:

##############################################################################################################

Header Image
##############################################################################################################
...........................................................................Searc hbar
................................................................................ ..(go)

i want it to look like this:

##############################################################################################################

Header Image...................................................Searchbar (go)
##############################################################################################################

(ignore the periods, its so i could space it out to approx. where it would go, sense i cant use MASS spaces on the forum)

what would i have to do to make this work?

would anyone know how to do this?

in your override for tpl_header.php file find this div -

<div id="navMainSearch"><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></div>

and move it into the area between bof-branding display and eof-branding display

im having a hard time finding a tpl_header.php file with that coding in it, could you tell me were i could find it?

/includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_header.php.

If you don't have it in your custom files yet, copy it from /includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php.

well...something is wrong.

i found that page that you were all talking about, but it didnt have that line of code in it. so i decided to just add the code in myself. and it gave me two searchbars. one closely were i wanted it, and then the original one that i wanted to be moved up. so then i got stuck with two, so i removed the coding that i had put in, and am now stuck at the very beginning.

comments?

About line 64:

<div id="navMainSearch"><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<!--eof-navigation display-->

<!--bof-branding display-->

its not there. ironically thats where i put the code, but its nowhere in that file, and ive never edited it.

Where does the searchbar you have show up? Above/below what? Are you using a template you got from somewhere? That is the only reason I can think of that you would have a searchbar elsewhere in your header.

If you do have a template installed, can you switch back to Classic and see the searchbar at the top?

Do you have an untouched copy of the file under /template_default/? You might try a search in admin > Tools > Developer's Toolkit for "navMainSearch".

Best of all, can you give a url to see the output? The link in your sig doesn't redirect.

[v.kirk]

no, i didnt install another template or anything. its really awkward. the url to the actual website isHERE
