[Typo3] Indexed Search Input

[Kester Hynds]

Hi there,

I am trying to place a search box on every page of my website - I have
managed to do this and include it in a template but when I perform a
search the results appear in the small content area I have defined on
the edge of my template - this looks really bad!! How can I control this
and make the results appear in the main area? E.g Like the Typo3.org
website...

Regards

Hi

http://www.typo3.biz/ - International Typo3 Job & Business Forum

Recently I start this forum and what do discuss this project here.
I think it is not good to push any project at this list.
So this is one-time only posting.

www.typo3biz is mainly www.sitepoint.com/forums clone in concept,
but without all tech details (we have good mail lists for tech).

The main parts of this forum:
1) Job (permanent positions and cooperation)
2) Marketplace (for all TYPO3 related things like support, sites from the
ground, templates, hosting etc and some general web-development things like
design, PSD -slicing, HTML
templates)
3 ) Freelance business related staff, like payment systems etc

I see example in German - www.typo3.net

My questions:

1) What about domain name?
I see www.typo3.net is used for national forum (with "Job" part), so I think
it is possible to use www.typo3.biz for international forum (if legal
principle of precedents works in this case).

2) I understand, that this forum is mainly for freelancers and low budget
projects (small TYPO3 support, small sites conversion etc).
Do you need tool like this and why anybody not make forum like this before?

3) What do you think of forum skin and look in general?

4) May be some additional sections must be added to this forum?

Put the indexed search plugin in the main area?

Thanks for your reply.

This would work - for sure - but does not tie with the design. It needs
to work a bit like the Typo3.org website. I'm sure it must be fairly
straightforward!!

Sorry, I think I didn?t get that you use the search box of the indexed
search extension. I solved that with macina_searchbox which I place in the
edge of the template (left side above menu e.g.) and the search results go
to a page where the indexed search plugin is included in the main area.

Insert the indexed search plugin in the main content area of a page
where you want the results to appear.

Hard code the search form into your template so it appears on every
page. Looking at the source of T3.org, it uses the html pasted at the
bottom of this message. Clearly you need to change the target of the
form to wherever your search page is. Alternatively you could insert the
form via typoscript, or create a templavoila FCE which contains it so
you can insert it only when you want.

Hope this helps

Mike

Ah - thanks! That helps a lot. I didn't really think of hard-coding the
form but I guess that makes the most sense...

Cheers :)
