Search Bar and Scroll To Top Button

I just purchased one of your plans so I can download your awesome templates. First of all I want to thank the Gavick team and the developers for your incredible work and I am looking forward in trialing out your templates that looks really promising. I am new to Joomla itself and I am currently testing out the Game template for Joomla 3.3 in my localhost. I like this template however the only things that I am really missing from this template is (a) Search Box at the top and (b) Scroll to Top button. I have a few questions on this please:

1) Search Box: If I want to add a nice looking search bar module on the header section (near the menu or something) does anyone have any idea on how to add this and which will the best position and alignment to choose for this search module so the template doesn't look weird and still looks good across all devices? I am pretty bad with creativity and if you can show me a screenshot or a sample site that has a search module included on this template (if possible), it would really help me get inspired and adapt that for my site.

2) Scroll to top button: What I love about some templates is how it shows the 'scroll to top' button at the bottom right hand side when the user scrolls down that page. Is it possible to add a nice button on this template? If yes, can you give me suggestions on how I can do that please?

Hi

1. About search, it's true that designer has forgotten about one for this template Please do not worry about that now. When site will be online I'll ask You for ftp access and help You to add a new module position for that.

2. I would advice to use a 3rd party plugin here. Sure it can be added into code, but it's just faster this way.

Thanks heaps teitbite. That was really kind of you to offer that (what a legend). I am hoping to get this up in the next 4-5 months and I will surely write to you then. So I wont worry about that for now.

Thanks again. Much obliged!

No problem, but please send me an access to ftp and joomla panel. So I'll make it for You and will post it for other users here.

Hi

First I've edited file /layout/blocks/logo.php and added a new module position at the bottom of this file:

Code: Select all

<div class="top_bar">
   <jdoc:include type="modules" name="top_bar" />
</div>


and this code to /css/override.css

Code: Select all

.top_bar {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 50px;
    max-height: 58px;
    overflow: hidden;
}

.top_bar br {
    display: none;
}

.top_bar .finder a {
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
    display: block;
    float: right;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 39px;
    margin: 9px;
    padding: 0 10px;
}

@media only screen and (max-width:750px) {
.top_bar {    margin-left: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 55px;
}
}
