to add an automated installer for your forum members.. here's a very basic web page that shows what you need.
Code:
<html>
<head><title>yourSite Search installer..</title></head>
<body>
<script
type="text/javascript">
<!--
function errorMsg()
{
alert("Netscape 6 or Mozilla is needed to install a sherlock plugin");
}
function addEngine(name,ext,cat,type)
{
if ((typeof window.sidebar == "object") && (typeof
window.sidebar.addSearchEngine == "function"))
{
//cat="Web";
//cat=prompt('In what category should this engine be installed?','Web')
window.sidebar.addSearchEngine(
"http://yourSite.com/searchbox/"+name+".src",
"http://yourSite.com/searchbox/"+name+"."+ext,
name,
cat );
}
else
{
errorMsg();
}
}
//-->
</script>
<h2>Add yourForum search to your right search box in Mozilla Firefox</h2>
<a href="javascript:addEngine('srcName','imageType','General','0')">Click to Install..</a>
</body>
</html>
upload your .src file and image (png, gif, jpg) to the folder specified above (example is :/searchbox/)
srcName should be the name of your .src file without the .src extension
imageType should be png, gif, or jpg
