Making a Search Command in the Side Bar(missing security token problem)

[Hell Bomb]

i have made a pretty basic search bar and i was wondering a couple things about it

1. How do i fix the security token issue with in it.
2. How do i make it so it doesn't stretch the side bar.
3. How can i change the submit button to something i choose.

<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post" name="vbform" id="searchform" >
<input type="text" name="query" />
<input type="submit" />
</form> </div>

This thread here tells you about security tokens. It should tell you the line to add to your form - Implementing CSRF Protection in modifications

Ok now i got the security token to work properly but it is not searching correctly can anyone take a look at the code and see what is wrong with it

<div class="sidebar_menu"><form action="search.php?do=process" method="post" name="vbform" id="searchform"\>
<input type="text" class="bginput" name="search" id="search" size="20" accesskey="u" tabindex="101" value="Search" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Search') this.value = '';" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
</form></div>

Take a look at the search form in the navbar. You will need to have all the same input fields in your form as in the quick search form.

can anyone provide some actual code that might be of some use. Either the actual code that i need or a example code for me to base my code off of would be very appreciated.

Did you look in the navbar like I suggested? This is the form in the navbar - you'll have to edit it to fit your needs:

            <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="$session[sessionhash]" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
                    <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>
