Why i don’t see the “search…” text inside the search box in theme ?
What can i do to make it apeear ?

I add “search…” in parameter-field Text” in Module Manager > mod_search.

Hi Copyman,

Open /templates/ja_mesolite_ii/html/mod_search/default.php

around line 18
[PHP]
<?php
//$output = ‘<input name=”searchword” id=”mod_search_searchword” maxlength=”20″ class=”inputbox’.$moduleclass_sfx.'” type=”text” size=”‘.$width.'” value=”‘.$text.'” onblur=”if(this.value==”) this.value=”.$text.”;” onfocus=”if(this.value==”.$text.”) this.value=”;” />’;

$output = ‘<input name=”searchword” id=”mod_search_searchword” class=”inputbox’.$moduleclass_sfx.'” type=”text” size=”‘.$width.'” value=”” />’;[/PHP]
Move the ” // ” from the 1st $output to 2nd $output word << as below :

[PHP]
<?php
$output = ‘<input name=”searchword” id=”mod_search_searchword” maxlength=”20″ class=”inputbox’.$moduleclass_sfx.'” type=”text” size=”‘.$width.'” value=”‘.$text.'” onblur=”if(this.value==”) this.value=”.$text.”;” onfocus=”if(this.value==”.$text.”) this.value=”;” />’;

//$output = ‘<input name=”searchword” id=”mod_search_searchword” class=”inputbox’.$moduleclass_sfx.'” type=”text” size=”‘.$width.'” value=”” />’;[/PHP]so you uncomment the current default presentation of search box.

You can now customize the default word in the module backend.

Regards

Arvind

Hi Milen,

Always remember, any function which seems to work different from the standard joomla, means it has override in the template, so always go for related template files and search for it.

Regards

Arvind
