Header #4 Lacking Search Kc

[oytamuah]

Hi I’m using header style #4 in the theme options and unfortunately this one has no search field at all in the header. How can I have the search icon show up next to the add to cart/wishlist icons in the header like the other headers. Alternatively if this is difficult, could you guide me to where in the theme I can input my own

Hi,

Sorry for a late response. Apologies.

Login to your FTP, and navigate here: \wp-content\themes\neighborhood\includes\swift-framework\sf-content-display\sf-header.php starting from line #280 you see header codes, you can make adjust to the header-4 and style it accordingly.

Let me know, what you got.

Thanks,
laranz.

I fixed this by adding the following code in the header-4 area just before the cart:

$header_output .= '<li class="menu-search parent"><a href="#"><i class="icon-search"></i></a>'. "\n";
			$header_output .= '<ul class="sub-menu">'. "\n";
			$header_output .= '<li><form method="get" class="search-form" action="'.home_url().'/"><input type="text" placeholder="'.__("Search", "swiftframework").'" name="s" /><input type="hidden" value="product" name="post_type"></form></li>'. "\n";
			$header_output .= '</ul>'. "\n";
			$header_output .= '</li>'. "\n";

I think this should be added in the next theme update automatically – no reason why header 4 shouldn’t have search field, in fact in mobile responsive mode the search bar does show up out of nowhere.

Hi,

Glad you fixed it 🙂 I forward this thread to the developer, he may add this in the next update 🙂

Can you provide a link to your site so that I can check how it looks on the front?

replace icon-search with fa-search and it works fine 🙂

how can i integrate this now in my child-theme?

Hi pl,

You can change the same file in the child theme, with the same folder structure to do so.

Let me know, what you got.

Thanks,

Hey the latest update still hasn’t added search option for header #4 but the code I mentioned above still works. The only thing is I noticed that there is now ajax search – what changes do I need to make so I can also take advantage of this ajax search function.

Hi there,

Adding search to headers 4 + 5 in version 1.6, hoping to get it out early next week. The code is:

$header_output .= '<li class="menu-search no-hover"><a href="#"><i class="fa-search"></i></a>'. "\n";
$header_output .= '<ul class="sub-menu">'. "\n";
$header_output .= '<li><div class="ajax-search-wrap"><div class="ajax-loading"></div><form method="get" class="ajax-search-form" action="'.home_url().'/"><input type="text" placeholder="'.__("Search", "swiftframework").'" name="s" autocomplete="off" /></form><div class="ajax-search-results"></div></div></li>'. "\n";			
$header_output .= '</ul>'. "\n";
$header_output .= '</li>'. "\n";
