Oops this is my second installation, and I thought I did not need the sample web pages, so did not install them. Now I don’t have the search box in the top right corner, and don’t know how to add it. 🙁

Hi Cindy

Not installing the data should not cause this problem. Check in template.css (line 1007) to ensure the code below is there.

#ja-search .inputbox {
background:#FFFFFF url(../images/icon-search.gif) no-repeat scroll 5px center;)
border:1px solid #E7E8E6;
padding:2px 0 2px 22px;
}

Also check your template image folder for (icon-search.gif)

SOLVED

Extensions > Module Manager > New > select Search

The trick then is to change the location until you ge it where you want it.

Hey Tony,

Thanks for replying (again)!
(We meet again–you are indentifiable by your slogan, to which I always wanted to add:
She who teaches, learns 🙂 )

Oh it all works ok, just not this “nut behind the wheel :-).”
When learning its easier to experient with what is already there (sample data),
not magically make something from whole-cloth. However my last installation
did teach me something.. enough to figure-out what steps to take.

Cheers,
Cindy

Now if I can only figure-out how to place it over(into) the blue banner, the menu bar. Like the original design….. anyone know what the position should be? I have tried almost all.

SOLVED
(phew) it was user4 – the “modules positions” page is a godsend… if you use it 🙂

You are on fire, you are solving these problems before anyone get the chance to read them.

ha:-) no, just before I got to read your reply.
My motivation was alread strong though, and stronger now because I had to re-install Joomla from scratch.
Need to get back-up to speed. And gotta sleep.
Good night from Canada,
Cindy
