the search box on forums is it available for sharing
i mean this

Hi @Michael_vx,

Yes, it's possible to share. It can be achieved either by adding it to the forum description, or by JavaScript; it depends on what you're trying to achieve. I can provide you with the search form for phpbb3, of course the form will work on any version, but the classes are mainly for phpbb3.

Here's the HTML :

Code:

<form method="get" action="/search?search_where=42">
  <input name="search_keywords" class="inputbox search" value="Search..." onclick="if (this.value == 'Search...') this.value = '';" onblur="if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Search...';" type="text">
  <input class="button2" value="Search" type="submit">
</form>

Replace the number 42 after search_where= by the forum ID you want the search to be performed in.

some questions
what is better in use the forum description code or the JavaScript one
also should it be manual only in other word is it can be used by auto mod on each forum without needing to add the forum ID
i know its may be a bit stupid from me to ask such a weird questions but if auto wont be easy ?

If you want to have it for specific forums, adding it to the forum description is the way to go. If you want it automated JavaScript is the way to go, plus you can also add a filter if need be. If you're wanting a JavaScript, I'd need to know the forum version.

most of forums of my Friends is phpbb2
there less using other versions because phpbb2 is the most styles one and easy to make styles for it as i was also when i was using forumotion
