\*================================================ ======================*/

Description: This mod adds the Google Search to your navbar.

Install: Less than 1 minute.

Instructions:

1. Go to www.google.com/adsense and click on Adsense For Search and create a Search for your site. All you will need is your PUB ID and your site URL.

2. Find:

<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions</strong></div>

Directly below that add:


<td class="alt2">
<DIV ALIGN=RIGHT>
<form action="[B]YOUR SITE HERE" id="cse-search-box">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-PUB ID HERE:afpnnc-ej87" />
<input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:10" />
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />
<input type="text" name="q" size="50" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/coop/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&lang=en"></script>
</DIV>
</td>


Now paste this code on a page where you would like your results to appear:

<div id="cse-search-results"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var googleSearchIframeName = "cse-search-results";
var googleSearchFormName = "cse-search-box";
var googleSearchFrameWidth = 800;
var googleSearchDomain = "www.google.com";
var googleSearchPath = "/cse";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/afsonline/show_afs_search.js"></script>

Enter your site URL where it says "YOUR SITE HERE" (blue code).
Enter your PUB ID where it says "PUB ID HERE" in the code (red code).

Click Save and all Done. Refresh.

You'll have to use the search code google gives you in your adsense control panel ;)

Put this code on any page you want:

<div id="cse-search-results"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var googleSearchIframeName = "cse-search-results";
var googleSearchFormName = "cse-search-box";
var googleSearchFrameWidth = 800;
var googleSearchDomain = "www.google.com";
var googleSearchPath = "/cse";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/afsonline/show_afs_search.js"></script>

Thanks, but I think this is not the answer I was looking for ...
I get the results on the results page alright ... My question was, since navbar appears on all pages, and the code has been changed in the navbar template, how come the search box comes up only on forumhome and not on any other pages where the navbar appears ?

correction, this does not appear on forumhome but only on forum index (http://example.com/forum/index.php) ... How do I get this to come up on all pages where navbar appears ?

Yes. Place this code in any page you want the results to show in:

<div id="cse-search-results"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var googleSearchIframeName = "cse-search-results";
var googleSearchFormName = "cse-search-box";
var googleSearchFrameWidth = 800;
var googleSearchDomain = "www.google.com";
var googleSearchPath = "/cse";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/afsonline/show_afs

No. You need to have your own PUB ID.

Hi,

Where did you (warden-b-) posted the search results in your forum?

I want it on the forum home page, but without the forums visible, just the nav bar and the users info.

I want it on the forum home page, but without the forums visible, just the nav bar and the users info.

I created a separate html page for admins and registered users on my site.

If you want it on a separate page, you will have to create another page and input the code into the new page.

Can i have those pages too please?

Sorry, I can not give out the pages I made for my site.

I see two options for you:

a. Make a separate html page
b. Make a .php file
c. or both

100% working, created a custom template page to display search results...
but....

Same question here, i have the search box on forum home only, can't understand why the search box doesn't show on every forum page.....
any tip?

Thanks

Found the solution for my last question: just add the code after the </if> below and just before the next </td>

;)

I have another question for you, maybe dumb one:

My partner ID for search is something like: partner-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When checking the code, i see there something after: partner-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX:afpnnc-ej87..
what means the red color code? Should i use the one provided in my adsense account? or yours ":afpnnc-ej87" ?

Try this:

Instead of:
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />

use:
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" />

This should solve problem :)

c. or both

I made a custom forum home page, the only thing i removed from visibility are the forums. How can i implement that? Where do i put the file and make the file visible to the forum's internal functions and stuff?
