Re: How to move searchbox & manufacturers box into banner

There is already a header search available - all you have to do is move it from the top right to the bottom left of the header - You could adapt the manufacturesr box the same way the header search is made -

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Thats what im saying how do you move it...from what i remember the header search was in the header bar at the top and i removed that line of code out to get rid of the header bar....

i dont remember which file it was in ...could you please be a little more specific...thanks i appreciate your help

Also search_header.php is already turned on, but it shows up in the left hand column, and if i turn off the left/right column status and turn on the single column status it just dissapears and you cant find it....so i have no idea how to do it..

Oh My. You could have turned it off in admin...

However, if you deleted the code, go to includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php

Around line 64 find

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

If you don't have it, then add the snippet and save to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common
