Put a search option in the GARS forumdisplay left column?
Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help me put a straight forward "search this forum" on a GARS forumdisplay in the left column. I copied it from the popup menu option but I guess I am missing something as the search does not work. Here is what I am using: Quote:

Where did you place that HTML? How does it not work? Did you account for scope?

I placed it at the top of the left column within GARS_forumdisplay.
I didn't account for scope, I am just trying to put the same search function (from the "search this forum") on the left side of the screen. I think it is because the other form is blank? If I type something in the search window and click the button, I get the following error: "You did not select any valid threads" |

Try looking at the HTML source for the page with the added search box and see if $forumid appears as a number or whether just value="" appears.

Try searching the vB PHP files for you_did_not_select_any_valid_threads to see what condition is/isn't being met to cause that message to appear.

There is the "Search this Category" option, for example on this page. Look for the Center Column Tools block in the GARS_forumdisplay template.
