Template Monster Problem

[livesol]

OK - It seems I have been a bit of a dummy and have purchased a template from Template monster.

We had a great guy take an existing shop and update it to the latest Zencart - and apply our purchased template from Template monster.

All seems to work - EXCEPT for the Search feature.

I have tried to make an account on Templatemonsters website to raise a support ticket - but the validation email has yet to arrive - been 30 minutes now.

A test installation of this site can be found here http://www.potentzen.com/duckw

I am not sure if any of you have used this template - it all seems to be sweet except for the search not working.

What could be wrong??

Cheers for now

The search is buggy with their templates. Look in your includes/templates/custom/common/tpl_header.php file.

You should see something like

echo zen_draw_form('quick_find', zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false)  ....<snipped>

Try to paste a copy of that part of the code here. Look for the <?php before it, and the closing tag ?> (try to keep it so that you have the complete slice of the code)

Don't past the entire file contents.

livesol,

Try replacing the following line:

echo zen_draw_form('quick_find', zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get').zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page',FILENAME_ ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT);

with:

echo zen_draw_form('quick_find_header', zen_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get') . zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page',FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT) . zen_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description', '1') . zen_hide_session_id();

This will also allow for searching in descriptions which was omitted in TM's code.

Thank you very much lib99

Worked a treat :)

Unfortunately, it does not work the way it should.

I have determined where the problem is though, through testing the Search function. The following is edited for brevity.

Original Template
index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword=word&x=0&y=0

Testing Template
index.php/main_page/advanced_search_result?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=word&x=0&y=0

You can see that for some reason, the second example has extra coding. From where I'm not sure yet but once I track it down and eliminate it, the Search function should then work correctly.

BTW, the Testing Template is using the code change suggested above, by lib99.

Found it...

The old installation had the SEFU mod installed.

I disabled this in the admin area and it all works now...

so far :)

[lib99]

Was a 2 part issue. The search code from TM had some issues, which seems to be the same used in most of their ZC templates. Then the SEFU didn't play nice.

Glad it's all sorted out for you now. Good luck!!

Yeah, it was the SEFU that was causing the problem. All is well once again.

Although disabling it within the Admin section was the easy fix, it brings to mind about using Mods that don't allow for uninstalling. Something I'll have to remember when considering using a Mod in the future.
