Add-On Releases - Google/Adsense Site Search Navbar Integration

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

<!-- 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

<!-- 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>

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.

Nice hack, thx.

[2 FN LOW]

could you please tell me how i can check the google option in the code..i removed the option to search my site, i just want the google option pre-selected like the regular search options..

[davidw]

In this section of the code

<input name="sitesearch" type="radio" value="www.yoursite.com" checked> Yoursite.com<br />
<input name="sitesearch" type="radio" value=""><a href="http://www.google.com/search"><img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_25wht.gif" border="0" alt="Google" align="middle"></A>

if you removed the first part, then make sure the second part has the checked

<input name="sitesearch" type="radio" value="" checked><a href="http://www.google.com/search"><img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_25wht.gif" border="0" alt="Google" align="middle"></A>

Quick question: what had to do with this hack; https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=125721

and do you earn for every click through your hack?

[sorry in a hurry :P]

[davidw]

That's a different hack and is not associated with mine. Attached is what I have working so far, but I'm going to have to modify it somewhat.
I've earned some money so far, but I do not get much traffic on mine (very small site).

[RedGTiVR6]

anyone know if this will work with 3.7?

[davidw]

I'm going to release a 3.7 version. For the most part, I wouldn't see why this wouldn't work. I am planning on updating this and adding more features. I just haven't had much time to work on it.

[badseed00]

will this work with 3.6.8?

[davidw]

Yes, it does - but this one of mine (updated) has more features https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=155199

[ukDesign]

Hi there this seems to be working on 3.7 my problem is that it is not opening in the Iframe on the searchresults.php it goes to the google page how can I solve this?

Thank you.
