Changing Side Search Layout

G'day. I recently added a side_search block to my site and i've noticed it has a big pile of empty space above and below the "More" link. I wanted to shrink it down, but side_search.php doesn't seem to contain this link. Which file do I need to edit?

Also my side_search and side_users_online blocks seem to be missing their right side borders, yet my image block is fine.

The space is taken by the paragraph state of this class:

Code

<p class="button_panel">
</p> in a paragraph
Remove the <p> and the space will be reclaimed. It is most probably in a template, but I do not know which one.

Somehow your standardbox_classic border is black: #272727
Modify both borders-bottom and right with the following code to get a blue border in global.css:

Code

.standardbox_classic {
background-color:#272727;
border-bottom:1px solid #072A66;
border-right:1px solid #072A66;
margin:0;
}
Hope this will help,
Jean:)

I didn't catch which file you are editing, Islander-aua?

oops, I see you said "but I do not know which one."

I looked in the templates (STYLE/THEMES/EDIT TEMPLATES) but saw no BLOCK_SIDE_SEARCH template. I wonder if it is in one of the SEARCH_* templates?

Buggered if I know how the borders got set to that colour….thanks.

I do have a BLOCK_SIDE_SEARCH.tpl, and it is where the offending <p> was located. Changed it to <div> and voila!

Glad you could find the template to edit.:thumbs:
For some reasons, I do not have a BLOCK_SIDE_SEARCH.tpl on my site.
I'll have to investigate this. I do not have a search block enabled on my main page, maybe it's why I never noticed.

Cheers!

I did add the search block to my side panel a while ago but until this topic I never noticed the block is called MAIN SEARCH. I looked in STYLE and found template called BLOCK_MAIN_SEARCH.tpl.

I see that in the CSS the lines;

".proceed_button {
padding:15px 0;
text-align:center;
}"

If you reduce the padding to less than the default 15px and you will reduce the blank space on the Search Block.

Thanks for this find friendly!:thumbs:
I'd prefer modifying the global.css also, rather than adjusting the template.
For some reasons, clawcity seems to have a different version of the search block.

side_search was dropped at some point (4.2 I think, when we introduced better box styling adaptability), and newer versions just have main_search.
