[2.0.17.8] : How to integrate Google Site Search instead of Vanilla Search?

ntuyelik

I got Google Search code & I'd like to replace vanilla search by google search box.
I added google search box in my forum by using "messages" link in dashboard,but it also gave me results page code.Where should I put the results page code?
Thanks.

You could replace the <div id="Search"> content in your theme's default.master.php with:

<div class="Google-Search">Google Search</div> <div id="cse" style="width: 100%;">Loading</div> <script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> google.load('search', '1', {language : 'en', style : google.loader.themes.SHINY}); google.setOnLoadCallback(function() { var customSearchControl = new google.search.CustomSearchControl('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'); customSearchControl.setResultSetSize(google.search.Search.FILTERED_CSE_RESULTSET); customSearchControl.draw('cse'); }, true); </script> </div>

and then add a 'Google-Search' styling to your custom.css file to pretty it up. Be sure to replace the hidden google search id with yours.

And if you're using a Smarty Theme (ie .tpl), you need to put this in
library/vendors/SmartyPlugins/function.searchbox.php , and just change the main div in the template

I would like to add google custom search through the embedded theme's search box. So...In the above file, do I replace it's contents:

function smarty_function_searchbox($Params, &$Smarty) {
   $Form = Gdn::Factory('Form');
   $Form->InputPrefix = '';
   $Result =
      $Form->Open(array('action' => Url('/search'), 'method' => 'get')).
      $Form->TextBox('Search', array('placeholder' => T('Search'))).
      $Form->Button('Go', array('Name' => '')).
      $Form->Close();

   return $Result;
}

with the code tjforsythe mentioned?

    <div class="Google-Search">Google Search</div>
    <div id="cse" style="width: 100%;">Loading</div>
    <script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi&quot; type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      google.load('search', '1', {language : 'en', style : google.loader.themes.SHINY});
      google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
       var customSearchControl = new google.search.CustomSearchControl('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
       customSearchControl.setResultSetSize(google.search.Search.FILTERED_CSE_RESULTSET);
       customSearchControl.draw('cse');
      }, true);
    </script>
    </div>

Then, what do I do regarding "changing the main div in the template"?

I could use the Vanoogle plugin, but I do not want a floating search box. I would like it to use the templates search box.

Thanks for the help!
