Sounds good, any demo available? Is it like vBulletins search box?
Edit: ah, just seen it on the MOD authors site, looks indeed very cool!
Only one small question, is it possible to have the same effect as vB has when clicking it? Expanding from the top-left to the bottom-right I mean ;)

One small thing, in overall_header.tpl

Code: Select all

<a href="search.php" class="nav">{L_ADVANCED_SEARCH}</a>
Should be

Code: Select all

<a href="{U_SEARCH}" class="nav">{L_ADVANCED_SEARCH}</a>
For the sessions, nice mod though.

I tried that using script.aculo.us (it's like an addon for the prototype javascript framework that i used: http://script.aculo.us/ ), the problem is the browser compatibility. I opted to use a simple solution but that works in all browsers i could test.

It's really easy to add the effects but when i tried some browsers would behave strange with some effects.

It's similar to the one on the site you posted ;)
Only you still need to click the Search link once for it to appear

I created an "addon" like that, but it always flickers...

Any ideas? Thanks!

!?! I can't understand what you're trying to do and i couldn't find the differences in the code you posted... To do the animations i talked about, you only have to change the javascript.

In my tests i believe opening the box works with a effect similar to vbuletin, but closing it doesn't work in IE (it does a jump and then closes.

Greetings,

first of all, great mod. I installed it and I'm just loving it.

Except I'm having a little problem with posting_body.tpl. I have the fast polls mod installed and there seems to be conflicts between the two mods. The functions (function edit_options(caller) ....) of fast poll mod appears in input fields and it displays about 15 of such fields.

Does any body have this problem?
Any help will be appreciated

Thanks
