Much space on my forum page is occupied by the search bar (with quick links, too).

I would like to keep it, but to save space i'd like to see it closed by default.Otherwise, it isn't possible to open/close it as on this site, clicking on button “SEARCH”.


what should I do ?

Thanks

i'm using Versione 3.1.4 (Build 357)

the searchbar is closed by default… 

using the link in your name for your website, I do notice that your searchbar and in fact all of your hidden forms, always show opened (like new topic/post)… 

have you made any custom mods (not including your skin)?  as it seems the styling to hide is missing…

we likely have some sort of plugin conflict…

will need to come back to this one when I have more time to look at it as I have to run out now…

Thank you Mr. Papa.

To be honest i should say i did not refactor the skin since version 2.x, a part from moving icons as appropriate and others minor changes…


Anyway, the link seems to be rendered correctly:

<td width=“105″>
<a class=“sficon” onclick=“sfjtoggleLayer('sfsearchform');”>
<img class=“sficon” src=“MYSITE/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/styles/icons/angelic/search.png” alt=“” title=“Cerca”>Cerca&nbsp;
</a>
</td>

But mouse-over on icon or Link's text points to nothing..

Perhaps I am missing a .css section ?


thank you for help

I cant' get this fixed.

I did not modified any part of Forum, but with default skin it's working!!

I compared the default css with mine, and i couldn't find any significant difference a part from colours and some font size.

I'm really getting dizzy…

The CSS responsible for displaying the seach form (and other forms) initially closed is in the sf-framework.css file all skins share. The following CSS in fact:

/* =============================================================
#sfpostform: Topic/Post Form
============================================================= */
#sforum #sfpostform,
#sforum #sfsearchform,
#sforum #sfloginform,
#sforum #sfpostform #sftimestamp {
    display: none;
    width: 100%; }

So the question really is - have you changed this? And does your custom skins still have the import at the top to ensure that this CSS file is included?

YES!

The import was there, but path was wrong. After having fixed it, everything works.

I should now submit the skin, if you're interested.


Thanks Andy !!

Well yes - I think new skins would be great. ….. But… we will be releasing V4 soon which will sadly require some skin changes and also intend to start a 'skin ltbrary'. Might be worth waiting for that if you are wiling.

Oh - and glad we sorted the problem at long last as well :)
