Serendipity Forums

I just installed the Sagittarius A template and am having a problem with the search field.

It's a great theme (well done!) but for some reason the quicksearch plugin doesn't display on the page. The plug in is active. I can configure it and move it around in the administration but it doesn't display.

Any suggestions as to how I can get the search field showing?

Thank you.

The template author decided to suppress the quicksearch sidebar plugin. I think it would have been better to offer a template option to hide/not hide.

Using a text editor, open the file sidebar.tpl. Within that file, you will find this code: Change it to this: That theme also bundles in an old administrative template. If you like the administrative template included with the template bulletproof, which is also the admin template used by any template without its own admin design, rename or delete the subfolder admin.

Using a text editor, open the file sidebar.tpl. Within that file, you will find this code:

Code: Select all

   {if $item.class == "serendipity_quicksearch_plugin"}
   {else}
    <li>
       {if $item.title != ""}<h3>{$item.title}</h3>{/if}
       {$item.content}
    </li>
    {/if}

Change it to this:

Code: Select all

    <li>
       {if $item.title != ""}<h3>{$item.title}</h3>{/if}
       {$item.content}
    </li>

That theme also bundles in an old administrative template. If you like the administrative template included with the template bulletproof, which is also the admin template used by any template without its own admin design, rename or delete the subfolder admin.

Thanks for the solution and advice Don. I will show the author.
