search in template menu

Hi,
I would like to place a search module to the template menu bar at the top of the site.
How can I do this?
Thanks!

Hi, where exactly could you add a screenshot with arrrow? Inline Menu or like extra menu item?

This may help (my comment also): http://gavick.com/magazine/how-to-loadi ... items.html

I would like to have something like this:

This need a little modification in core template file and small css changes.
By our support : I can give you only few tips, not finished solution.

1) template/gk_news/layouts/default.php
2) find this section id="gkPageTop"
3) Before Login code:

Code: Select all

<?php if($this->API->modules('login')) : ?>


add:

Code: Select all

<div id="gkSearch"><jdoc:include type="modules" name="search" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['search']; ?>" /></div>

you can try to add also without <div>..</div>

4) Delete "search" code from line 130-134
5) Using CSS try to get a good position of search module and nice background effects etc.

p.s.
If you will add this simple code:

Code: Select all

<span style="float:left;"><jdoc:include type="modules" name="search" style="<?php echo $this->module_styles['search']; ?>" /></span>

You will get search & login icons inline.

If think that real CSS customization of search module should take you about 40 minutes, to get this same effect which you demonstrated below. I made few similar jobs in last year.
