Missing Search [solved]

[FCazabon]

I seem to have done something to my layout so that the Search box is no longer visible.

I am using the Left simple navigation + 1 column template (adjusted to use my colours and add in some new stuff).  The Template has this in it:

  {* Start Search *}
 
         {search}
 
  {* End Search *}

The style sheet has this in it:

/* position for the search box */
div#search {
  float: right;
  width: 27em;    /* enough width for the search input box */
  text-align: right;
  padding: 0.6em 0 0.2em 0;
  margin: 0 1em;
}

If I put some text in th etemplate like this:

  {* Start Search *}
 
         Search goes here{search}
 
  {* End Search *}

I see my text, but no search box.  

Does anybody hav eany idea what I have done to cause the search not to display?

Thanks

Do you have a link?

What version of CMSMS and what browser are you looking with?

These things you've posted would not cause the search to not display. It must be some of the other stuff you've added. It would be helpful to confirm whether the search is being rendered (but not displayed). View the source code of your page and look for:

If that's there (and contains the form input for the box) we know it's a CSS issue.

Thanks for the help.

I am using CMS Made Simple 1.5.4, Opera 9.64 is my browser (although the same problem displays in FireFox 3.0.10)

The link is: http://arrivett.sc104.info/

I looked at the source and there is no search form!

Here's the source:

     
         
 

If I look at another site that works I get this:

     
         






So what could be causing that to happen?  The Search Module is installed.

[RonnyK]

Did you upgrade, or was it a clean install....

If you didnt modify anything to the search-template, press the "restore-to-default" button on the search-template...

I can't remember for certain if this was a clean install, but I believe so.  (I've done som many installs/upgrades of CMS in th elast few months it's all a blur).

Where do I find the search template?

[RonnyK]

Extensions -> Search

[FCazabon]

that might help point out the problem, I do not have a search option under extensions!

[RonnyK]

Then Search is NOT installed.... Check Extensions->Modules....

It says search 1.5.4 is installed under Modules!

Should I uninstall and then re-install it?

[FCazabon]

Uninstalling and re-installing worked!

Thanks for the help
