I wanted to have search box on main download page.
Here is how I achieved this:
1. copy content of downloads_search template except "$dresult" at the bottom of the template.
Here it is:
HTML Code:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="{$stylevar['tablewidth']}" align="center">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="{$stylevar['cellpadding']}" cellspacing="{$stylevar[cellspacing]}" border="0" width="100%">
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="100%" colspan="3">{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_search']}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2" align="center" colspan="3">
<form action="./downloads.php?do=search" method="post">
<br />{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_search_instructions']}
<br /><input type="text" name="query" maxlength="75" size="50" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="{$vbphrase['ecdownloads_search']}" />
</form>
<br /><br />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
2. Paste the content at the very beginning of
downloads_main template.
You done. Search box now appear under downloads navigation box and it works
