Getting Two Search Headers - How To Fix?

[scottdev]

I have the following sideboxes set:

sideboxes/search_header.php - turned on.
sideboxes/search.php - turned off.


I'm getting two search boxes displayed - one in the header and one at top of right column what looks like on the main page at the top of the right column.



Any idea how to fix these?

Most likely a template thing. Does it happen when you temporarily switch to the Classic template?

A link to your site would help, too.

Pics are nice - -Where is your site? - - Probably a template issue

[scottdev]

No - double search header does not seem to be a problem in classic template.

I have the following sideboxes set:

sideboxes/search_header.php - turned on.
sideboxes/search.php - turned off.

Your second is in the right column - Triple check that it is "off" in admin > tools > layout boxes controller

[scottdev]

sideboxes/search.php - definitely turned off.

If I turn it on, I get the search box within the sidebox template appearing above the other style search box.

Then check your template - more than likely it has been duplicated in the code.

Looking at the page source code I see the search box code around line 54 code at the top of the page (in the header) which would be correct:

<div class="navMainSearch forward">
<form name="quick_find_header" action="http://mobilebellboy.com/order/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result" method="get"><input type="hidden" name="main_page" value="advanced_search_result" /><input type="hidden" name="search_in_description" value="1" /><input type="text" name="keyword" size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="Enter search keywords here" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Enter search keywords here') this.value = '';" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Enter search keywords here';" />&nbsp;<input type="submit" value="Search" style="width: 45px" /></form> </div>



Then around line 327 I see code again for search box, which shouldn't be there:

<div class="navMainSearch forward">
<form name="quick_find_header" action="http://mobilebellboy.com/order/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result" method="get"><input type="hidden" name="main_page" value="advanced_search_result" /><input type="hidden" name="search_in_description" value="1" /><input type="text" name="keyword" size="6" maxlength="30" style="width: 100px" value="Enter search keywords here" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Enter search keywords here') this.value = '';" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Enter search keywords here';" />&nbsp;<input type="submit" value="Search" style="width: 45px" /></form> </div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<br class="clearBoth" />
<!-- need two break here to cover the space in internet explorer -->



Do you know which template this would be coded in? One of the sidebox templates I'm guessing.

What's strange is that this header search box only appears if I turn on sideboxes/search_header.php. The code (wherever it is) shouldn't even be there (in the sideboxes). The search box with the sidebox template appears correctly in the correct column if turned on.

Use the Developers Tool Kit to serach for text that's on line 327 that isn't on line 54, like 'need two break here'. That'll show you what file to edit.

[scottdev]

Actually the source code for both was the same - just didn't copy it on the first entry for line 54 (the line 'need two break here').

I see the code that displays the header search box is:

<div class="navMainSearch forward">
<?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<br class="clearBoth" />

I did a search in the developer's toolkit for:

<?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?>

But can only locate one document that contains it - tpl_header.php in the common directory - but yet it seems that the code is clearly contained in another template because it is displaying at the top of the right hand column.

I looked at:

tpl_main_page.php
tpl_box_default_right.php
tpl_header
tpl_search_header.php

But cannot locate where it is being inserted. Also, as mentioned before, there is no problem when I switch to the classic header.
