{SEARCH} Replacement Tag

sunflare · Post by **sunflare** » Wed 7. Jan 2004, 13:17

What about a replacement tag for the search function?
It would simply do something like this (like in thread http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=517 )

Code: Select all

{SEARCH:444}

<form action="###search_input_action:444###" method="post">
<input name="###search_input_field###" type="text" size="10" maxlength="200" value="###search_input_value###" style="font-size:10px; width:75px;"> <input type="submit" value="Go" style="font-size:10px;">
</form>

And if you're not glad about it you can change look and feel via the conf.templ.php (like {NAV_TABLE_COLUMN})

the only problem is if someone want to use a images as the search button or have a different text on the search button, but then they could use a the search form and a phpwcms newbie could use the replacement tag

like I said:
the look and feel should be in conf.template_default.inc.php
It's a nice and easy way to change layout.

Is there a replacement tag for the search function? What can the site search be set up, I have read some posts in the fourms ( but the PHPBB search functions sucks everytime I search for things, I get like 100 unrelated forum posts, so it is hard to search and actually find what you want in the forums.

No, there is no replacement tag for search - and there is no need for it - in my eyes.

This is probably far fetched but. . .
I have a phpBB forum on my WCMS site.
Is it possible to include phpBB in the search?

Not as default.

Hi Oliver, thanks for this damn good thing!!!

Could you explain why you don't see the need of this RT???

What if you want to include a little search box in a side bar? not just into a document.

Thanks in advance,

this is possible - check forum. There are some replacement tags for having such "external" search form.

Or create one by using the search function and copy the source.

Oh, sure... I meant to say... as an easy and straighforward way to do it: A la phpWCMS so to speak... Not a workaround.

Anyway... Ionly have a bunch of days using phpWCMS... perhaps I still need to play with it a bit longer.

Thanks for your answer,

but this is nearly not possible (at the moment) - there is a replacement tag for search form action and the serach field

Most time people want to use a custom serach forms if outside in another place than the main content section.

Here is a sample (result looks like this http://www.rondo-promotion.de/index.php - right column)

Code: Select all

<form action="###search_input_action:10###" method="post" name="kuenstlersuche" target="_self">
<table width="160" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
  <td><input name="search_input_field" type="text" id="search_input_field" size="20" style="width: 120px" value="###search_input_value###" title="Nutzen Sie Platzhalterzeichen (*/?)"></td>
  <td align="right"><input type="image" src="img/rondo/button/suchen.gif" alt="Senden" width="35" height="17" border="0"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
