Help with Mod

Postby pallindrome » 08 Apr 2011, 06:59

Hello guys , I tried to install a simple mod i.e Google search mod on the forum. So the instructions are given only for prosilver theme. So my question is that won't it work on other themes like twilightbb ? And Even I tried to find the html codes given for prosilver theme in twilightbb theme , but can't find them. So will the mods work for only prosilver themes ?
And I'm a beginner in phpbb , so please help me out guys.

twilightbb is based on subsilver2, so, in the mod you want to install, the template edits need to be done by opening the file subsilver2.xml if the mod you're talking about is this one http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=1659335

Nopes not working at all I can't find the code line in twilightbb theme's Overall_Header.html file :( I even tried subsilver's code not working. Cannot find this line in the twilightbb theme overall_hearder.html file :
Code: Select all
<td width="100%" align="center"><h1>{SITENAME}</h1><span class="gen">{SITE_DESCRIPTION}</span></td>


But it is found in subsilver2

What does the subsilver2 instructions tell you to find and add after???
Show your overall_header codes. So we don't have to download all that and look.

OK, your style has a banner instead of a header.
Code: Select all
<div id="banner">
   <a href="{U_INDEX}" title="{L_INDEX}" id="logo">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a>
</div>

That is where the section you are looking for is suppose to be.

What does the directions tell you to do after you find that?

Then what he may need to do is,

FIND
Code: Select all
<div id="banner">
   <a href="{U_INDEX}" title="{L_INDEX}" id="logo">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a>
</div>
ADD after
Code: Select all
<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_SEARCH and not S_IN_SEARCH -->
      <table width="100%" cellspacing="0">
      <tr>
             <td width="100%" align="right">
                <form action="{U_SEARCH}" method="post">
                <input name="keywords" type="text" maxlength="128" title="{L_SEARCH_KEYWORDS}" class="inputbox search" value="<!-- IF SEARCH_WORDS-->{SEARCH_WORDS}<!-- ELSE -->{L_SEARCH_MINI}<!-- ENDIF -->" onclick="if(this.value=='{LA_SEARCH_MINI}')this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='{LA_SEARCH_MINI}';" />
                <input value="{L_SEARCH}" type="submit" /><br />
                <label for="gSearch">{L_SEARCH_GOOGLE} <input class="radio" style="vertical-align: middle;" name="gsearch" type="checkbox" id="gSearch" /></label><br />
                <a href="{U_SEARCH}" title="{L_SEARCH_ADV_EXPLAIN}">{L_SEARCH_ADV}</a> {S_SEARCH_HIDDEN_FIELDS}
                </form>
             </td>
          </tr>
      </table>
<!-- ENDIF -->

Maybe add it under his banner. What do you think spaceace? I don't know that style.
I know his banner is a linked image. One I'm sure he wants to keep.
