How to move the SmartSearch module into the menu block

andrewwinkler

I would like to move the SmartSearch module to the menu block, on the right of the menu, similarly to how you have done it on this forum page. I've tried changing the module position from "head-search" to "mainnav" but the module does not get displayed at all if I do that.

Hi,

You could add a new position into the 'mainnav' block or if you want to use 'head-search' position, you can load it into the 'mainnav' block.

For example, this snippet of code will show the modules assigned to 'head-search' position:

<?php if ($this->countModules('head-search')) : ?>
						<!-- HEAD SEARCH -->
						<div class="head-search <?php $this->_c('head-search') ?>">
							<jdoc:include type="modules" name="<?php $this->_p('head-search') ?>" style="raw" />
						</div>
						<!-- //HEAD SEARCH -->
					<?php endif ?>

You can see how it's declared in this file: /tpls/blocks/header.php

If you want to add into mainnav, you add to this file: /tpls/blocks/mainnav.php

Of course, you then will need to add customize style for it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I copied the code into the navheader.php, trying out various positions. Either the searchbox does not get displayed at all or on the left below the blue menu area. Btw, I did not delete the searchbox in the logo block as yet.
