September 22, 2013 at 4:58 pm #190811I’ve just deployed a new site using JA Zite and cannot get the search module to display in the search position unless I also turn on the JA Social module. I was wanting to use another location for the social links. Any suggestions?
Site is crushvolleyball.com

September 24, 2013 at 10:43 am #506868Yep, followed the instructions there and configured like the screen shot showed exactly. I did notice that the search icon shows up when I am on my ipad on the site – but only the icon – no space to type. And it still won’t show up on the desktop at all.

September 25, 2013 at 4:15 am #506951Right now its difficult to guess the issue and give solution to you. If possible you can pm me URL of your site and admin access. I shall check it for you.

September 27, 2013 at 2:27 pm #507331I found a fix that will work for me – I just put the search in the social position since I am not using that position for the social buttons (wanted them near the email subscription in the footer area).
The site is crushvolleyball.com.

September 30, 2013 at 4:33 am #507459I tried to access link your site but it took about 5 minutes to load and didn’t complete to load your site, all css styles on your site are broken and it’s so difficult to check the problem on your site:(.

January 22, 2014 at 12:09 pm #519380I am experiencing the same issue. The Search box will not load in the Search position. It will load however in the Social position.
I’ve checked the template positions and the Search position is certainly present….but it just won’t load the Search module.
I’ve built many Joomla sites, so this is not a question of not knowing how to do it….there is some kind of issue here….
Anyone have any tricks or clues to make it work?
Thanks….

January 22, 2014 at 12:27 pm #519381ok,, well there’s another issue. in the backend, the Search Module, under Search Button Image, it states that the image must be in the templates/images directory and it must be called searchbutton.gif
and yet, when i go to the Quickstart site, to copy across this image, and I go to the directory, there is no searchbutton.gif image, but there is a search-button.png
why? why the discrepancy?
i mean, i can figure out how to change everything, but why is it set up this way?

January 23, 2014 at 8:04 am #519467thanks…
site is heartofessentialhealing.com
first preference would be for the Search box to display in the Search module position
if that is not possible (!) then i would like to quickly and easily resize the search box so it sits flush and even with the search icon image….i got lost in the css trying to figure this out as per another thread i started
thanks….

January 23, 2014 at 9:33 am #519473Your site is using Compress CSS and JS options from JA Zite Template, you can turn off them as follows:
+ Go to Admin site -> Extensions -> Template Manager -> JA Zite Template -> set Optimize CSS and Optimize JS to NO
Then, you can see css path on your site. I think the tweak below should help:
Open templates/ja_zite/css/layout-mobile-port.css file,
Change:
#ja-topbar #ja-social {
margin-top: 0px !important;
margin-bottom: 7px !important;
margin-right: 118px !important;
}
to:
#ja-social #mod-finder-searchword {
width: 200px !important;
}#ja-topbar #ja-social {
margin-top: 5px !important;
margin-bottom: 7px !important;
margin-right: 50px !important;

January 23, 2014 at 2:25 pm #519529thanks very much for your assistance
that certainly sorts out the issue with the css….now makes perfect sense after turning off the compression
still the search module won’t display in the search module position, but the social position workaround works ok, so…..

January 24, 2014 at 3:34 am #519616If you wish to add search module into search position, you need following customisation:
Open templates/ja_zite/css/template.css file,
Find and replace:
#ja-search {
bottom: 4px;
border-left: solid 1px #222
float: right;
width: 20px;
}#ja-search .inputbox {
background: #333
float: left;
color: #ddd
width: 0px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
border: none;
height: 0px;
}#ja-search .button {
background: url(../images/search-button.png) no-repeat left top;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
border: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
font-size: 0px;
text-indent: -9999em;
cursor: pointer;
margin-left: 5px;
}#ja-search .button:hover,
#ja-search .button:focus,
#ja-search .button:active {
background-position: left bottom;
}form#searchForm {
border-top: none;
}.searchintro {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd
}.results h4 {
text-transform: none;
font-size: 110%;
}.search fieldset {
border: 1px solid #ccc
margin: 15px 0;
padding: 10px;
}.search legend {
font-size: 100%;
font-weight: bolder;
line-height: 1.2;
margin-left: 10px;
}.search .word label {
vertical-align: top;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-right: 3px;
display: inline-block;
}#advanced-search ul li {
background: none;
display: block;
margin-bottom: 5px;
padding-left: 0px;
}#advanced-search ul li label {
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 5px;
}div.search-pages-counter {
text-align: center;
}
With:
#ja-search #mod-finder-searchword {
width: 200px !important;
}#ja-topbar #ja-search {
float: right;
margin-top: 5px !important;
margin-bottom: 7px !important;
margin-right: 50px !important;
}
Hope it helps.
