- - Mini Mods - Use Google Custom Search In Navbar - Step By Step (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=263440)

Recently found that the results page that is generated does not use the additional.css, so certain elements of my theme were broken.

How can I make sure the additional.css is loaded with this?

Quote:

add to the header and it should load up while page loading

I delete the events, as it negatively affects the speed of loading pages.

Удаляю этот мод, так как он отрицательно влияет на скорость загрузки страниц.

I should add that the site specified by the author mobilephonetalk contains unwanted software and locks the browser Google Chrome.

Добавлю, что сайт указанный автором mobilephonetalk содержит нежелательное ПО и блокируется браузером Google Chrome.

I would have liked to keep the VBForum search box as well as this, but when I have them both, one bumps the other into the lower navigation bar.

Any suggestions?

It probably has to do with editing the "globalsearch" class (width; 180px; ), but I sure can't figure out how to find it:(

Code:

<div id="navbar" class="navbar">

        <ul id="navtabs" class="navtabs floatcontainer<vb:if condition="$show['member'] AND $notifications_total"> notify</vb:if>">

                {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_start}

                {vb:raw navigation}

                {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_end}

        </ul>

        <vb:if condition="$vboptions['enablesearches']">

           <div id="globalsearch" class="globalsearch">

<!-- BEGIN GOOGLE CUSTOM SEARCH -->

<form action="http://www.teambuick.com/forums/google.php" id="cse-search-box">

    <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-5874277334279308:1253965069" />

    <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:9" />

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

            <span class="textboxcontainer"><span><input type="text" value="Search Reference" name="q" class="textbox" /></span></span>

            <span class="buttoncontainer"><span><input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.png" name="sa" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" />  </span></span>

        </form>

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

<!-- END GOOGLE CUSTOM SEARCH -->        

        <form action="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=process" method="post" id="navbar_search" class="navbar_search">

                                <vb:comment><input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionurl}" /></vb:comment>

                                <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />

                                <input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />

                                <span class="textboxcontainer"><span><input type="text" value="Search Forums" name="query" class="textbox" tabindex="99"/></span></span>

                                <span class="buttoncontainer"><span><input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search<vb:if condition="$stylevar['textdirection'] == 'rtl'">_rtl</vb:if>.<vb:if condition="is_browser('ie') AND !is_browser('ie', 7)">gif<vb:else />png</vb:if>" name="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" tabindex="100"/></span></span>

                        </form>

Look in your "vbulletin-chrome.css" template for that class selector. :)

Thanks for your help! I found it and played with it, but it must not be what I need:(

In case you or someone else can point me in the right direction, I would like the two searches to line up side by side in the navbar.

I have attached an image how one search box is displacing the second one to the line below it:

What I do is place Google code in navbar (choose your position), leaving vBulletin's search completely intact. In this way I have two search engines with Google one preferred (GCS input form is 100% wide).

Alan,

That sounds like what I am trying to do. I am just having difficulty figuring out how. When I place it in the navbar, it displaces the VB search as shown in the image.

I tried placing it in the navbar_tabs template, but it displaced the last tab to the lower level.

I have seen it done on other sites, but I am not figuring it out. And I have been searching all over. All I find is the same replace default search.

Thanks

I tend to use this. It works much better.

Sorry, I wasn't completely clear what I did on my site.

I placed code in navbar template, so it isn't in navbar per se, but it is visible in every page. You can see it here: https://slobodni.net

This way I still have completely working vB search and Google Custom Search available everywhere. I didn't want to change or modify vB search. And also I wanted to "force" users to use GCS as much as it is possible.
