Replace search with Google Custom Search · **Released**: 11-30-2009

This mod assumes you have an adsense account and are using Google Custom Search.

You want to make sure your results page is named something other than the vb default search.php, this leaves the vb option open to those who click "advanced search"

Open your template navbar

find

PHP Code:


			
<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post" id="navbar_search">

replace with the form line of the google supplied code
example:

PHP Code:


			
<form action="http://www.ahfb2000.com/google.php" id="cse-search-box">

find

PHP Code:


			
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionurl}" />

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />

replace with the first 3 hidden input types in your google code
example:

PHP Code:


			
    <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />

    <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:10" />

    <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" />

find

PHP Code:


			
<input type="text" value="" name="query" class="textbox" />

replace with

PHP Code:


			
<input type="text" value="" name="q" class="textbox" />

find

PHP Code:


			
<input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.png" name="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" />

replace with

PHP Code:


			
<input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.png" name="sa" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" />

find

PHP Code:


			
</form>

add this after

PHP Code:


			
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&amp;lang=en"></script>

I figured it out. You need to add the extra code after your pub#.

This:

Code:

partner-pub-###############

should be this:

Code:

partner-pub-###############:######-####

Marked as installed. Thanks

I've been registered for adsense for search for years, but when I try and create a new custom search form over at https://www.google.com/adsense I keep getting javascript errors on the final page where you save your form and get the code.

I've tried IE, FF & Chrome and they all stall at the last hurdle so I don't know what's going on there.

I almost have this working but cannot find anything to do with the extra code mentioned above - my partner-pub number is a plain 16 digit string with no colon and no extension after it.

Maybe they've changed something so I'll have to try again in a couple of days - hopefully I can finish the process then.

You don't place your adsense code anywhere in this snippet. This piece of code that you quoted is basically just the URL to where the "google.php" file is.

So for example, if your website URL is http://www.vbulletin.com

The code would be:

<form action="http://www.vbulletin.com/google.php" id="cse-search-box">

You don't place your "adsense code" in that code you quoted.
