Re: Please help with Advanced Search box

I am pretty lazy myself ... so I would first turn on the Search Header sidebox ... sideboxes/search_header.php to ON for the Single Column and it will appear in the header ...

You can always customize that one further if you need to ... :smile:

Ajeh thanks for the humour I really needed that...However tried turning on the search_header.php and Could not customeize it to where I want it. Problems occuring

  1. The search button is just pure text not a button
    2.Does not contain the advances search button.

Believe me before I posted this I tried all that is possible to for the lazy men like you and I.

ps.I will turn that on so you can see what I mean.

Re: Please help with Advanced Search box

That's lazy women and men like you and I ... :smile:

Anyway ... I see your template is such that you have your code in the lower line and not the upper line ...

I am not much into design just coding ... but you should be able to utilize the code and customize the box in other locations of your header ...

I would have to dig up some old code as I am a tad immersed in writing v2.0 and have to remember where I stuck v1.3.8 ... I know it is around here somewhere ... :unsure:

Not a problem at all. Hope you can find the code...I would love to take some of the load off but I doubt I would be of any help.

curious about your reply with eager anticipation.

Oh by the way Ajeh I have no clue what you mean by this "Anyway ... I see your template is such that you have your code in the lower line and not the upper line ..."

Re: Please help with Advanced Search box

In a stock classic template the area you want to work on would be above the header
