I only really want it to appear when you click on the search function.

Would you have an idea where the code is most likely to be placed at all within the overall_header.tpl?

cheers and thanks

I was able to integrate google ajax search into the search module (not forums search), so that it queries both the site search and google cse at the same time.. even works with the nukeNAV modal search too Smile

it would depend on the theme, but here is fisubice example..

you need to load the google cse script in the head, so get the JS code they give you and create a text file with the code and save as custom-search.js (do not use notepad) and upload to your root/includes/ folder. Then create a php file to load the script, and upload to your root/includes/addons/ folder... name it head-search.php

Code:

<?php


if (stristr(htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), 'head-search.php')) {


   Header('Location: ../../index.php');


   die();


}


addJSToHead('includes/custom-search.js', 'file');


?>

now all you have to do is add the html to your template
before

Code:

<!-- BEGIN switch_enable_pm_popup -->


<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">


<!--


   if ( {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_NEW_FLAG} )


   {


      window.open('{U_PRIVATEMSGS_POPUP}', '_phpbbprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');;


   }


//-->


</script>


<!-- END switch_enable_pm_popup -->





<a name="top"></a>





<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" border="0" align="center">


<tr>


<td><!-- <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">


<tr> -->


<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">


<tr>


<td class="navbkg2">&nbsp; <a href="{U_FAQ}">{L_FAQ}</a>&nbsp; •&nbsp; <a href="{U_SEARCH}">{L_SEARCH}</a>&nbsp; •&nbsp; <a href="{U_MEMBERLIST}">{L_MEMBERLIST}</a>&nbsp; •&nbsp; <a href="{U_GROUP_CP}">{L_USERGROUPS}</a>&nbsp; •&nbsp; <a href="{U_PROFILE}">{L_PROFILE}</a>&nbsp; •&nbsp; <a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>&nbsp;


 •&nbsp; <a href="{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}">{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}</a></td>


</tr>


</table>


</td></tr></table>


<br />

AFTER (just replace YOUR_DIV_ID with the id called in your custom-search.js file)

Code:

<!-- BEGIN switch_enable_pm_popup -->


<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">


<!--


   if ( {PRIVATE_MESSAGE_NEW_FLAG} )


   {


      window.open('{U_PRIVATEMSGS_POPUP}', '_phpbbprivmsg', 'HEIGHT=225,resizable=yes,WIDTH=400');;


   }


//-->


</script>


<!-- END switch_enable_pm_popup -->





<a name="top"></a>





<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" border="0" align="center">


<tr>


<td><!-- <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">


<tr> -->


<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0" align="center">


<tr>


<td class="navbkg2">&nbsp; <a href="{U_FAQ}">{L_FAQ}</a>&nbsp; •&nbsp; <a href="{U_SEARCH}">{L_SEARCH}</a>&nbsp; •&nbsp; <a href="{U_MEMBERLIST}">{L_MEMBERLIST}</a>&nbsp; •&nbsp; <a href="{U_GROUP_CP}">{L_USERGROUPS}</a>&nbsp; •&nbsp; <a href="{U_PROFILE}">{L_PROFILE}</a>&nbsp; •&nbsp; <a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>&nbsp;


 •&nbsp; <a href="{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}">{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}</a>


<div id="YOUR_DIV_ID">Loading...</div>


</td>


</tr>


</table>


</td></tr></table>


<br />

there are alot of options and how to's available in setting up your google cse, so your setup may differ. I noticed they also added an auto-complete feature recently Smile
