Hello folks,
I have another question. I've added a 'quick search' function to my site, thru the Template page, but I think I want to move it.
On this page:
http://www.skolaiimages.com/stock/displayimage.php?album=40&pos=4
for example, I would like the "Quick Search" form to appear in the little table with the headings "Home > Places > Southwest", on the right hand side of the table? I'd then remove the form from the Template.html file, so it wouldn't appear on the main Galleries page.
http://www.skolaiimages.com/stock/index.php
Hopefully, it would still appear, in the same little table, on this kind of page:
http://www.skolaiimages.com/stock/thumbnails.php?album=40
Is this possible, and can someone please explain, step-by-step how I might do that?
Thank you, I do appreciate your help.
Cheers
Carl

the section you refer to is named "breadcrumb". You'll have to move your quicksearch code into the section of theme.php that generates the breadcrumb.

Hey GauGau
Thank you. I'll give it a whirl and see how it goes. I'm sure I'll be back before long with questions abotu what I'm doing incorrectly. ;)
Thanks again.

Hey GauGau,
Thanks again. It works, but I cna't get the button and text form to sit in the middle of the bar/table (vertically). It seems to sit towards the top. I tried to place it in the center, but nothing seemed to work. Do you have any idea what might cause this, or what I might do about it?
Here's an example:
http://www.skolaiimages.com/stock/thumbnails.php?album=36
Here's the section from the theme.php file.
// HTML template for the breadcrumb
$template_breadcrumb = <<<EOT
<!-- BEGIN breadcrumb -->
<tr>
<td colspan="4" align="left" class="tableh1"><span class="statlink"><b>{BREADCRUMB}</b></span></td>
<td align="right" valign="middle">
<form method="get" action="http://www.skolaiimages.com/stock/thumbnails.php"
name="searchcpg">
<input type="hidden" name="album" value="search">
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="full">
<input type="input" style="height:95%; border:2px #808080 outset; width: 140px" name="search" maxlength="255" value="" class="textinput">
<input style="height:95%; width:95px; border:2px #0c0c0c0 inset; font:12px Verdana,Arial; color:#000000; background:#FFFFFF" type="submit" value="Quick Search">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.searchcpg.search.focus();
-->
</script>
</form></td>
</tr>
<!-- END breadcrumb -->
Thanks
Cheers

I copied your code to my theme and the button & text form are centered vertically, as you want. I'm using the classic theme. Maybe you can try that quickly to see if it works for the classic theme; just copy the breadcrumb variable only. If it works, I guess it must be a style issue. I don't know why the cell style valign="middle" wouldn't override all others set as default or for the table, but something's going on. You might try "absmiddle" for kicks & giggles. Otherwise you might need to follow the style tags.

Try
// HTML template for the breadcrumb
$template_breadcrumb = <<<EOT
<!-- BEGIN breadcrumb -->
<tr>
<td colspan="4" align="left" class="tableh1"><span class="statlink"><b>{BREADCRUMB}</b></span></td>
<td align="right" valign="middle" class="tableh1">
<form method="get" action="http://www.skolaiimages.com/stock/thumbnails.php" name="searchcpg" style="margin:0px;padding:0px">
<input type="hidden" name="album" value="search" />
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="full" />
<input type="input" style="height:95%; border:2px #808080 outset; width: 140px" name="search" maxlength="255" value="" class="textinput" />
<input style="height:95%; width:95px; border:2px #0c0c0c0 inset; font:12px Verdana,Arial; color:#000000; background:#FFFFFF" type="submit" value="Quick Search" />
</form>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.searchcpg.search.focus();
-->
</script>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- END breadcrumb -->(not tested though). You might as well try aligning every object within the table cell that holds the search form explicitely using CSS

P.S. Your no-right-click script is childish imo, I leave pages that try that stunt immediately no matter how good their content may be. I recommend removing it, as others might feel the same way.

Hey GauGau,
Thank you, your code works perfectly. Paver, I tried absmiddle, but no luck. Thanks though, i do appreciate it.
GauGau, Can I ask why you would leave a site with a no-right click code? I understand there are simple ways around it, but I don't know why someone would leave a site just because of that code? Does it affect the way you can view a site?
Thanks again.
Cheers

In Firefox, the right-click does a lot more than save pictures. It can be used to navigate, translate pages, view the page in IE, open link in new tab/window, etc. When a site disables those functions, it hampers the experience for the user and nobody wants a hampered experience. I don't revisit sites that disable right-click either.

Hey TranzNDance,
Ahh -- thank you. I didn't know that. I'm a Mac User, so I don't "Right Click" anything. ;) I'll go ahead and remove the script.
Thanks again.
Cheers
Carl
