Moving searchbar so its inside header image

[gjh42]

OK, all is clear now! The normal position of the search in the header is above the logo and to the right on the same line as the Home & Login bar. Your template moves navMainWrapper to below the logo, and I presume the navMainSearch is turned off in admin. The code for it may have been deleted from tpl_header.php.

The search you see is not in the header at all, but in the right sidebar (navColumnTwo). You can turn that one off in Tools > Layout Boxes Controller > sideboxes/search.php and turn on sideboxes/search_header.php. If the search doesn't appear where you want it, add the code back in as shown above so there is something for the switch to control.

Someone definitely did a bunch of custom template work, as a stock ZC install will not look or behave as yours does. Find your /template_default/ directory. There will also be a /classic/ directory, and there should be another in the same place which has your template files. If the edits are in /template_default/, you could be in big trouble when you upgrade to the next version of ZC.

I just checked your stylesheet - your edits have been made in /classic/. This is bad, as when you upgrade your cart, all of your customization will be erased.

You need to make new folders (with a name you make up) next to every /classic/ folder on your site, and copy all the files and subfolders in /classic/ to your new /your_template/ folders. Then change template_info.php, select your template in admin > Tools > Template Selection and reset the sideboxes. See full instructions in the FAQs.

yeah, it would take a little work to do all that, but if i want to upgrade, i will do it. just requires a little bit of moving around, and some small editing, and whatnot. but i highly doubt ill be updating, unless there is something really big in the next version, that you for your replies, im gunna see if it works

Aside from upgrade safety, there is another reason to use the template override system: by putting your edited files in your custom folders, you can tell at a glance what files you have changed and you have a backup without changes in case you mess up a file.
