How to add search to home page column

I am new to mojoportal.

So far everything that I have tried works really well.

However I am unable to add the search index to the right column on my home page are you able to help?

Can someone please provide the script I need and how to add this .

The search bar works inthe footer.

 

thanks barry

Re: How to add search to home page column

If you put it inside divRight in your layout.master, you can set AlwaysShowRightColumn="true" on <portal:StyleSheetCombiner in layout.master to make it always show the right side column even when there is no other content there.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: How to add search to home page column

Hi Barry,

1. Paste this into your layout.master file of your skin just inside the <asp:Panel id="divRight"...>

<portal:SearchInput id="SearchInput2" LinkOnly="false" RenderAsListItem="false"
runat="server" ButtonCssClass="searchbutton" TextboxCssClass="searchbox"
OverrideWatermark="Search Terms" UseHeading="false" />

2. Add AlwaysShowRightColumn="true" on <portal:StyleSheetCombiner which is in th etop of layout.master

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: How to add search to home page column

I've only copied the sections of your layout.master that are relevant:

<asp:Panel ID="divRight" runat="server" Visible="True" CssClass="art-layout-cell art-sidebar2 rightside" SkinID="pnlPlain">

  <portal:SearchInput id="SearchInput2" runat="server" LinkOnly="false"
    RenderAsListItem="false" LinkOnly="false"
    ButtonCssClass="searchbutton" TextboxCssClass="searchbox"
    OverrideWatermark="Search Terms" UseHeading="false" />

  <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="rightContent" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</asp:Panel>

<portal:StyleSheetCombiner ID="StyleSheetCombiner" runat="server"
  UseArtisteer3="true" JQueryUIThemeName="sunny" UseIconsForAdminLinks="false"
  UseTextLinksForFeatureSettings="true" AlwaysShowRightColumn="true"/>

HTH,
Joe D.
