Search Box In Main Menu

Hi all, I've just started using this template today - absolutely awesome!!! OMG the work you guys have put into this this is fantastic.

I'm still finding my way around, but I've came up stuck with one thing -

I've gotten rid of the first menu ( nightly news , dateline , morning joe etc....)

So my question is, how can I put the search box on the MAIN menu (Home , Template , Modules Menu etc..)

Can't figure this out, any help would be gratefully appreciated

Hi Brian,

Thanks for being interested in our template.

My solution is to move position search into main menu block, please do as below:

- Open file: \templates\gk_twn2\layouts\default.php

- Find:

Code: Select all

<?php if($this->modules('search')) : ?>
                 <div id="gkSearch">
                    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="search" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['search']; ?>" />
                 </div>
                 <?php endif; ?>   


Move it to after:

Code: Select all

<?php
                  $this->menu->loadMenu($this->getParam('menu_name','mainmenu'));
                   $this->menu->genMenu($this->getParam('startlevel', 0), $this->getParam('endlevel',-1));
               ?>


Please try and let me know if it helps.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

I tried the code you suggested, but the search box didn't show up on the mainmenu - although the topmenu1/search box above reappeared!

I'd be grateful for any other thoughts....

Can you send me a PM to provide me with backend and FTP access info then I can take a look and try more for you?

Thanks,

Hey Don

I am after the same thing. Did you come up with an answer to this?

I already had it moved, but couldn't get it to show. The only difference is that I also moved the search Param into this block as well and out of the top menu block.

Code: Select all

<?php if($this->getParam('show_menu or search', 1)) : ?>
             <div id="gkMainMenu" class="clear">
               <?php
                  $this->menu->loadMenu($this->getParam('menu_name','mainmenu'));
                   $this->menu->genMenu($this->getParam('startlevel', 0), $this->getParam('endlevel',-1));
               ?>
                <?php if($this->modules('search')) : ?>
                 <div id="gkSearch">
                    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="search" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['search']; ?>" />
                 </div>
                 <?php endif; ?>   
             </div>
             <?php endif; ?>>

Nevermind I figured it out.

Code: Select all

<?php if($this->getParam('show_menu or search', 1)) : ?>
             <div id="gkMainMenu" class="clear">
                <?php if($this->modules('search')) : ?>
                 <div id="gkSearch">
                    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="search" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['search']; ?>" />
                 </div>
                 <?php endif; ?><?php
                  $this->menu->loadMenu($this->getParam('menu_name','mainmenu'));
                   $this->menu->genMenu($this->getParam('startlevel', 0), $this->getParam('endlevel',-1));
               ?>
                  
             </div>
             <?php endif; ?>

Glad to know that, don't hesitate to ask for any further help.

Cheers,
