Google/Adsense Site Search Navbar Integration · **Released**: 10-03-2006

Since the vbadvanced google/adsense integration I came out with a while back I had wanted to think of a way to do this to the navbar, but I didn't really care for the old navbar's search - until the 3.6 version came out. I like this new version and I've now decided to come write my own based on what I did with my original for vbadvanced.

It's fairly simple...

Go to your admincp => Styles & Templates => Style Manager => look for your style to do this to and under All Style Options click Edit Templates

In your navigation bar, find

Code:

<!-- header quick search form -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_search_menu" style="display:none">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
		<tr>
			<td class="thead">$vbphrase[search_forums]</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
				<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">
					<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
					<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
					<div><input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="25" tabindex="1001" /><input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" tabindex="1004" /></div>
					<div style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px">
						<label for="rb_nb_sp0"><input type="radio" name="showposts" value="0" id="rb_nb_sp0" tabindex="1002" checked="checked" />$vbphrase[show_threads]</label>
						&nbsp;
						<label for="rb_nb_sp1"><input type="radio" name="showposts" value="1" id="rb_nb_sp1" tabindex="1003" />$vbphrase[show_posts]</label>
					</div>					
				</form>
			</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[advanced_search]</a></td>
		</tr>
		$template_hook[navbar_search_menu]
		</table>
	</div>
	<!-- / header quick search form -->

and replace with

Code:

<!-- header quick search form -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_search_menu" style="display:none">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
		<tr>
			<td class="thead">$vbphrase[search_forums]</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
				<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post">
					<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
					<input type="hidden" name="quicksearch" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="childforums" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="exactname" value="1" />
					<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
					<div><input type="text" class="bginput" name="query" size="25" tabindex="1001" /><input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" tabindex="1004" /></div>
					<div style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px">
						<label for="rb_nb_sp0"><input type="radio" name="showposts" value="0" id="rb_nb_sp0" tabindex="1002" checked="checked" />$vbphrase[show_threads]</label>
						&nbsp;
						<label for="rb_nb_sp1"><input type="radio" name="showposts" value="1" id="rb_nb_sp1" tabindex="1003" />$vbphrase[show_posts]</label>
					</div>					
				</form>
			</td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[advanced_search]</a></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<form action="http://www.google.com/custom" type="hidden" method=GET name="search"><td class="thead">Search Site / Google</td>
		</tr>

			<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">

        	</tr>
		$template_hook[navbar_search_menu]
		</table>
	</div>
	<!-- / header quick search form -->

Replace pub-1234567890123456 with your pub- number
In the line <input name="cof" type="hidden" value="GALT:">, Replace value="GALT:" with your information (this contains information that controls how your search results are displayed - this won't necessarily start with GALT

.
Replace www.yoursite.com with your website in both places
Replace Yoursite.com with your website

I have updated this for 3.6.7 - there is a small change, but enough for an update.
There is a hook as well, $template_hook[navbar_search_menu], which I have a product that you can just install, but for some reason ibproarcade is conflicting with this new product.

If using it with the changes I made in my last post - then that would be correct.
