Moved search to header, lost search functionality

I moved the search code from the main content area to the header and now the search functionality has been lost. Instead of showing the proper text in the button (Search) and below the bar (Advanced search), the text displays the variables. When I click the search button, I get a page cannot be displayed because the variable isn't being replaced. Does this piece of code not get processed until the content area?

I think yes.
If you check the index.php in line 484, there is a if clause searching for main.
Thorsten, could you comment?

Hi,
yes, it cannot work because the template variables are not parsed.

Is there any workaround to get this to work?

I literally took the code from the main content area in the index and moved it to the header. Code below:
Code: Select all
<!-- <div id="searchBox-header">
[globalSearchBox]
<a href="http://www.lyndonstate.edu/" target="_blank">Lyndon Home</a>
<form id="search" action="{writeSendAdress}" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="searchcategory" value="{categoryId}" />
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="search" />
<input type="search" name="search" id="searchfield" size="30" placeholder="Search ITS" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go" />
<!-- <input type="image" size="16" src="/template/lyndonits/images/search.gif" value="{searchBox}"/>
</form>
{msgSearch}
[/globalSearchBox]
</div> -->

Correct. Here is the entire section of the index.tpl (right now the search is commented out)
Code: Select all
<div id="header-wrapper">
<header id="header">
<div id="header-logo">
<a href="http://it.lyndonstate.edu"><img src="/template/lyndonits/images/ITS-Header-Logo.png" alt="Lyndon ITS Logo"/></a>
</div>
<div id="header-search">
<!-- <div id="searchBox-header">
[globalSearchBox]
<a href="http://www.lyndonstate.edu/" target="_blank">Lyndon Home</a>
<form id="search" action="{writeSendAdress}" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="searchcategory" value="{categoryId}" />
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="search" />
<input type="search" name="search" id="searchfield" size="30" placeholder="Search ITS" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go" />
<!-- <input type="image" size="16" src="/template/lyndonits/images/search.gif" value="{searchBox}"/>
</form>
{msgSearch}
[/globalSearchBox]
</div> -->
</div>
</header>

Hi,
this should work. Did you enabled the Ajax Instant Search on the start page in the admin configuration? If yes, please disable it.

Instant Search on the home page is not enabled. Still can't seem to get this work.
This is how it appears:

Hi,
I found the issue: you have to remove the second [globalSearchBox], because only the last template block is parsed. If you remove it, it works.

That seemed to work for the most part. The new issue seems to be that on certain pages, the search portion of that box does not appear. I added custom text above the search box and that seems to stay. The pages I noticed that the search box didn't appear were the actually FAQ pages, the contact pages, and any custom pages I added.
