In your 'header' template, you need to look for this :
<!-- content table -->
The :
<!-- /content area table -->
... which you speak of, should be in your footer, so you don't want the '$search_the_internet' in your footer, if you want it in your header.
So, find this line in your 'header' template :
<!-- content table -->
... and then above that, place :
$search_the_internet
You are going to need to also change where your 'global.php' script "calls in" the 'search_the_internet' template.
Open up your 'global.php', and find the bit from this hack that you've place in it, as displayed below :
PHP Code:
// parse tHE DSS, Search The Internet template (global)
eval("\$search_the_internet = \"".gettemplate('search_the_internet')."\";");
... CUT that out, and place it above this :
PHP Code:
eval("\$headinclude = \"".gettemplate('headinclude')."\";");
eval("\$header .= \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");
Then save your 'global.php' file, and that will do it.
As long as you do have the
$search_the_internet variable inside your 'header' template, this will work to get the search bar in your header, rather than your footer.
