Header Search in Oscmax Mainpage

[sabre2000]

OSCMAX v1.7
Has anyone successfully integrated a search in the header of the mainpage.tpl file. I have tried everything I can and it just won't work. It duplicates the command button for example if you try and sign up and click continue it takes you to advanced search.

this is as close as I have gotten.

<?php

$info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),
'align' => 'left',
'text' => tep_draw_input_field('keywords', 'Quick Search', ' onFocus="emptyQuicksearch()" size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) . 'px"') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH) . '<br>' . BOX_SEARCH_TEXT . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '"><b>' . BOX_SEARCH_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</b></a>');

new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>

Problem with this is though it leaves the word "Array" at the top of the box and I have no idea where its coming from.

thanks,

Have you tried just taking the include directive out of the column_left.php file and including that in the header?

I did this a while ago and believe this was how I did it.

Hope this helps.

Ok, I tried that I thought I did that before and got something too. What I'm getting is a 1 above the box instead of the word "Array". Here is the code from the search.php file. I'm not sure where that 1 is comming from at all. very odd.

<!-- search //-->
<?php
  $boxHeading = BOX_HEADING_SEARCH;
  $corner_left = 'square';
  $corner_right = 'square';
  $boxContent_attributes = ' align="center"';
  $box_base_name = 'search'; // for easy unique box template setup (added BTSv1.2)

  $box_id = $box_base_name . 'Box';  // for CSS styling paulm (editted BTSv1.2)
  $boxContent = tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');
  $boxContent .= tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="25" maxlength="30" ') . ' ' . tep_hide_session_id() . tep_image_submit('button_quick_find.gif', BOX_HEADING_SEARCH);
  $boxContent .= '</form>';
// bof BTSv1.2
  if(file_exists(DIR_WS_BOX_TEMPLATES . $box_base_name . '.tpl.php')) {
  // if exists, load unique box template for this box from templates/boxes/
      require(DIR_WS_BOX_TEMPLATES . $box_base_name . '.tpl.php');
  }
  else {
  // load default box template: templates/boxes/box.tpl.php
      require(DIR_WS_BOX_TEMPLATES . TEMPLATENAME_BOX);
  }
// eof BTSv1.2
  $boxContent_attributes = '';
?>
<!-- search_eof //-->
