Yes, after upgrading from 4.1.4 to 5 it stopped working coz of templates upgrades or something, also got blank page.

Had to create a new template (as say in instruction above) MAke sure you have this template:

Great Mod!

One question, I want to completely disable the search engine on my forum but when I do the google box disappears. Is there way to code it so its there if we disable the search?

Thanks!!!

any chance of not showing ads in navbar when search is done?
Just like i have conditionals for register and login script page, how can i add this one here?

Code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'">

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'login'">

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'google'">

This last one not working...

That means google not indexing your site properly

mnms	01-04-2012 12:18 AM

Installed on VB 4.1.6 in UTF-8.
it is working very well. thanks a lot for this mod ;)

It's not working for me: Version 4.1.10

The page loads nicely, but no search results. Our site is well indexed in Google, so that should be no problem. Site: www.skodaforum.nl > select the VB4 default style to test it.

Please advise

Doesn't seem to work with 4.1.11, got blank page when click search, but works well with 4.1.10.

I have stopped using them because adsense didn't sent my pin code...

ctrenks

04-23-2012 08:34 PM

I set this up, my header was all mangled but it did send results, the only issue I have otehr than cosmetic is that its also showing google adds on the right side. In my industry (casinos) I am not permitted to try and use adsense to make or promote casinos. I simply want the site search.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

i can't find in my Templates!!

why???

Good mod, working well in 4.1.12 although I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work in any of the versions mentioned as not working above.

I did change line 8 of google.php to a normal script name rather than 'test',so:

Code:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'google');

and this allows use of sensibly named template conditionals such as:

Code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'google'">

The only other change needed, other than some layout tweaks, was to add the second header include to the template:

Code:

{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

Also working fine with Everywhere Sidebar using the instructions for adding the sidebar to custom pages.

Thanks for posting this - a real time saver in getting this working and well explained.

Just upgraded a site from vB3 to vB4, and need a good search system, Used to use Marco's google search in vB3 but thats not working with vB4. Anyway, tried doing this but the required template must have been done away with as I can't find it. Where can I make the required edit?

No, it's there, just search your templates for globalsearch and it should show up.

Nope its not there, i searched for it and all it did was bring up 2 templates both having to deal with google chrome, nothing to do with the Navbar, they definitely did away with it, there is a similiar code in the Navbar template that says search, but when i tried to replace that it does not allow it. 4.2.0

Google changed the script location, this should fix it if you are getting the generic 'nothing I can do URL".

In Templates: Navbar after this

Code:

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

Add the following (first replace the URL and Partner ID from adsense:

Code:

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

    <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxx" />

    <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="" 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/coop/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&amp;lang=en"></script>

If you dont see globalsearch it is because you have modified your Navbar template and need to revert it.

I had this installed and it works great, but it breaks the "New Posts" and the search. It shows the results but no posts.
