search all modules for dummies

since the new search (make sureyou update!) alows module searching i wanted to give ya all a lil tip on how to easily incorporate the search into all modules sitewide

step 1 click a module any module start at the top or bottom of the list and work your way down or up...odviosly some modules wont be searchable or u might not want them to be but all searchable modules have a an index.tpl and/or an item_index.tpl (so far only the profile forums has only index_item and no index)

step 2 click modify next to each

step 3 verify there isnt already a search code (some index.tpl templates might have 1 while the item_index in the same module does not) to verify no search exists simply do control f then type search if search is found theres no need to add another so move on to the next template

step 4 do control f and type you want to put the search code right before the h1 tag this might be after the <div class="title"> or after a closing or even an each template differs but as long as you paste the code right before the your fine

step 5 copy this code (the div class modulesearch and closing div are optional only added for easy styling) will work just as well

step 6 save
after editing both templates (if both needed editing) dont forget to go back to the template list, check the 'active" checkboxes next to each edited template then save

next move on to the next module you want searchable and repeat the steps above

youtube , playlists, groups, and posiibly a couple others already have search on 1 of the 2 templates so make sure you check before adding a second one

Which modules is it not in that you would like to see it in? Thought we got this into most places.

from what i saw it was only in media modules and only in the index it wss in videos youtube vimeo audio playlists..i cant remember if it was in galleries otr not but none of the item_index had it blogfs didnt have itr pages i dont think did...i thingk groups might have but again only in index
forums didnt but forumns is also missing an index.tpl and doesnt have a placeon the front page
forums for me should be where actifity is and activity off to the side as forums are the main attraction

events was missing

i went through the module list top to bottom and checked each 1 and something like 1/2 or 1/3 had it in index none in item-index
because i added the div like i showed above u can check my sites code search for the div class and see each i added it on
