What type of modification you need to add on your site.download the header.tpl file from the site and modify the site .upload the it binary mode.Now what error showing.

Depends on what you're attempting.

{literal} {/literal} has worked for me in the past.

If you want to stick in php, you need to use {php} {/php}...I believe there's a wiki page around here somewhere that has all the special coding you need to use when modifying templates.... I'll see if I can find it.

UPDATE: Here's the vShare WIKI page: http://docs.buyscripts.in/Main_Page

There is also a "smarty" manual here: http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/languag ... iteral.php

Hi

thank you for the reply, what happen is I bought a third party Skin and it has the search Box on the header like youtube, but it doesn't work.

so today i removed the line :

<input tabindex="1" maxlength="128" name="search_id" value="">

and replace with:

<input tabindex="1" maxlength="128" name="search" value="{$smarty.request.search}">

Upload, and check the search :) it works

still have to learn how to edit the commands how to replace contents on specific templates that could not give error, even i know most of the templates = tpl files all been done by HTML and not coded as php.

The GOOD thing is: Search box On header template working on all pages no errors :) some thing new I learn to do.

if you have more knowledge about that i like to share with you.

Regards
Abe

<input tabindex="1" maxlength="128" name="search_id" value="">
