Installing:
STEP 1
Go to AdminCP --> Plugins & Products --> Plugin Manager --> Go to the bottom of the page and click [Add New Plugin] --> Complete the fields:
Product: LET AS DEFAULT
Hook Location: parse_templates
Title: Language & Styles Selectors In Navbar
Execution Order: LET AS DEFAULT
Plugin PHP Code:
vB_Template::preRegister('navbar',array(
'languagechooserbits' => $languagechooserbits
));
vB_Template::preRegister('navbar',array(
'quickchooserbits' => $quickchooserbits
));
Plugin is Active: Yes --> Save

STEP 2
In this step you will install both language and style mod and google custom search!!
Go to AdminCP --> Styles & Templates --> Search in Templates --> search for navbar (select your desired style to implement this mod and set yes to search titles only) --> double click the navbar template an look for:
</div><!-- closing div for above_body -->
Between that and <div class="body_wrapper"> add:
<table width="100%">
<tr><td align="left" width="50%">
<form action="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php" method="get" id="footer_select" class="footer_select">

<vb:if condition="$show['quickchooser']">
<select name="styleid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">
<optgroup label="{vb:rawphrase quick_style_chooser}">
{vb:raw quickchooserbits}
</optgroup>
</select>
</vb:if>

<vb:if condition="$show['languagechooser']">
<select name="langid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'lang')">
<optgroup label="{vb:rawphrase quick_language_chooser}">
{vb:raw languagechooserbits}
</optgroup>
</select>
</vb:if>
</form>

</td><td align="right" width="50%">
<form action="http://www.google.ro/cse" id="cse-search-box">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />
<input type="text" name="q" size="25" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.ro/coop/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&amp;lang=en"></script>
</td></tr></table>
XXXXXXXXXXXXX must be replaced with your own google account numbers
For more information go to wWw.StormZone.Ro and PM user Lloyd or pm me here:)

Working on 4.0.8. Not tested on any other version. Please install and tell me :)

ENJOY!!

IF YOU WANT ONLY LANGUAGE AND THEME WITHOUT THE GOOGLE SEARCH BAR
At step 2 instead of that code add this
<table width="100%">
<tr><td align="left" width="50%">
<form action="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php" method="get" id="footer_select" class="footer_select">

<vb:if condition="$show['quickchooser']">
<select name="styleid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">
<optgroup label="{vb:rawphrase quick_style_chooser}">
{vb:raw quickchooserbits}
</optgroup>
</select>
</vb:if>

<vb:if condition="$show['languagechooser']">
<select name="langid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'lang')">
<optgroup label="{vb:rawphrase quick_language_chooser}">
{vb:raw languagechooserbits}
</optgroup>
</select>
</vb:if>
</form>

</td></tr>
</table>

Hello, there is no problem at all , I just need to show up only the search bar at the same place in your screen shot , so could you please give me the code for the Google custom search ?

Thank you for you kind support~!

[horussjr]

try with a div code like this
<div align="right">
<form action="http://www.google.ro/cse" id="cse-search-box">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />
<input type="text" name="q" size="25" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>
</div>

also you can try with span like this
<span align="right">
<form action="http://www.google.ro/cse" id="cse-search-box">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" />
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />
<input type="text" name="q" size="25" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>
</span>

Thanks horussjr ... :up:

I used this method you recommended, as I only wanted to have the extra Google Adsense Custom search added to our site, while keeping the regular vBulletin ones for those that preferred it.... :)

Seems to work great, including using Google's iFrame approach to keep search results locally displayed...

Doug

Why would they do that when the point of their providing you with a product called AdSense for Search using program code they also provide, is to use it for searching and displaying their ads? :confused:

They say "Offer your users site search or web search while earning revenue from ads relevant to their search terms."

In fact, they even provide multiple versions for iFrame use within your site, as well as go to "New Page" on their site, on blogs, web sites and bulletin boards.

I suspect you must have done something else wrong? ;)
