Hi,

I'm searching a way to customize Search Input Module. In the previous versions of DNN (5.6.2 e.g.), it was possible to set some properties (go botton's style, text box's width and aligment, etc...) acting directly on the code of SearchInput.ascx. I see this is not possible in DNN 6.0.2 in the same old way.

I'm not an expert user, and I recently upgraded to the new framework of DNN: sorry if the question may seem stupid.

it should be possible to make the same core edits, but this is not something we encourage, instead id recommend you try to handle it via the settings/cssstyles of the search skin object - http://www.thinkofdesign.com/resources/dotnetnuke-skinning-reference/#obj-search

Thanks for your suggestion,

I see the link you have posted. But, as I wrote, I'm not an expert. Can you explain me on which files I have to work? I want only resize the textbox and align it on the right of the page. If you can give me the steps to be performed, even briefly...

thank you again.

HI

You can use css to style the items but what I do mostly is just add skinobject to a hidden div and use jquery to style this and put it to the designated place

example:

http://schwingsoft.com/2dnnbusiness01/Home/tabid/893/Default.aspx

done like this ( searchholder is my hidden div that holds the search sko)

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery("#SearchHolder .NormalTextBox").appendTo(".inputholder").addClass("tooltip_search_field");
    jQuery("#SearchHolder a").appendTo(".buttonholder")
</script>

Armand Datema

Get my new skin ( lots of design variations [18 headers, 30 titlebars, 30 breadcrumbs, 3 footers ], 50+ typography containers , 50+ page templates and an online theme builder for unlimited skin variations) Aura>

For all your skin conversions
