Hi.  I found many questions and answers for the s5 search, but none of them seem to answer my question. 
 :o
1) I did a straight joomla install without the sample data. 
2) Then I added the City Portal template. 
3) Now I added the mod_s5_search module and enabled it. 
4) I put Google and Yahoo in the right parameters and they work great. 
5) Under button 1 though, I put "City of Sparta" which is the website this module and template is loaded on.  So the attached picture is is what I get.

How do I set up button one (or "search", or "search1" -- not sure what to call it) to search my website?

I cannot find a <position> anywhere in the "mod_s5_search.xml" that is in the module.  I added the <postion> for "search1" in and nothing happened. 

I also thought about copying the "google.php" page from the "s5 search" folder and renaming it "search1.php" with the appropriate edits (if I can figure them out).  Then changing the "mod_s5_search.xml" button 1 as needed.  That just seems to complicated.  I thought this was supposed to be easy?
 ::)


All in all, I would have used siteshaper to do all of this for me, but it couldn't connect to my sql database.  I even used the alternate siteshaper someone suggested with installing joomla 1st, etc.  Neither way worked. 
 :P
Kind of a frustrating day so far. At least the google and yahoo buttons work!

Hello,

Sorry for the troubles you are having.  What you need to do is add the positions to the template XML file of city portal and not the search module XML file.

 ;)  Ohhhhhhh!  So now there is a new template position inside this search engine in which I put the default Joomla search module into.  I got it!  Sorry so slow.   :-\  I surmise you get asked that question a lot.

One more "picky perfectionist" question.  After I insert the new position and the Joomla search engine, the search button is about 5 pixels are so off from the search button on the S5 Search Module.  Is there anything I can do to put them in the same place?

See the site at www.spartamo.com.

Thanks!

Could you explain a bit more, is the text in the actual button off 5 pixels?

: Re: s5 search questions unanswered

No, the actual button moves over to right a few pixels.  You're welcome to see it on the website at www.spartamo.com (http://www.spartamo.com).  Notice when you click between the search 1 link and the Google or Yahoo links, the search "button" moves left and right a few pixels.  I'm attaching two pictures for more info.

I know this is extremely picky.  Is there a simple fix for it?

Hello,

To fix this

Look for:

:
				<?php if ($search3 != "") { ?>
				<div id="s5_search_input3" style="display:none;" >
					<form name="s5_search_input3" action="<?php echo $LiveSite ?>modules/mod_s5_search/s5_search/google.php">
						<input type="text" onfocus="if(this.value=='<?php echo $search3text; ?>') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='<?php echo $search3text; ?>';" value="<?php echo $search3text; ?>" size="50" class="inputbox" alt="search" maxlength="20" id="mod_search_searchword1" name="searchword"/>
						<input type="submit" class="button" value="Search" />
					</form>
				</div>
				<?php } ?>
				<?php if ($search4 != "") { ?>
				<div id="s5_search_input4" style="display:none;" onclick="s5_search_4();">
					<form name="s5_search_input4" action="<?php echo $LiveSite ?>modules/mod_s5_search/s5_search/yahoo.php">
						<input type="text" onfocus="if(this.value=='<?php echo $search4text; ?>') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='<?php echo $search4text; ?>';" value="<?php echo $search4text; ?>" size="50" class="inputbox" alt="search" maxlength="20" id="mod_search_searchword2" name="searchword"/>
						<input type="submit" class="button" value="Search" />
					</form>
				</div>
				<?php } ?>

And change it to:


:
				<?php if ($search3 != "") { ?>
				<div id="s5_search_input3" style="display:none;" >
					<form name="s5_search_input3" action="<?php echo $LiveSite ?>modules/mod_s5_search/s5_search/google.php">
						<input type="text" onfocus="if(this.value=='<?php echo $search3text; ?>') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='<?php echo $search3text; ?>';" value="<?php echo $search3text; ?>" size="50" class="inputbox" alt="search" maxlength="20" id="mod_search_searchword1" name="searchword"/>
						<input type="submit" class="button" value="Search" style="margin-left:-3px;"/>
					</form>
				</div>
				<?php } ?>
				<?php if ($search4 != "") { ?>
				<div id="s5_search_input4" style="display:none;" onclick="s5_search_4();">
					<form name="s5_search_input4" action="<?php echo $LiveSite ?>modules/mod_s5_search/s5_search/yahoo.php">
						<input type="text" onfocus="if(this.value=='<?php echo $search4text; ?>') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='<?php echo $search4text; ?>';" value="<?php echo $search4text; ?>" size="50" class="inputbox" alt="search" maxlength="20" id="mod_search_searchword2" name="searchword"/>
						<input type="submit" class="button" value="Search" style="margin-left:-3px;"/>
					</form>
				</div>
				<?php } ?>

Ok I am confused.

I am now just looking at activating the search module but it is not working right out of the box as I would expect. Now I am reading about module positions and the like.

I am confused.

The search module searches my site but does not search Google or Yahoo.

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH INFO!!!! My head is going to explode.

Hello,

You just need to enter some text in:

Search Button Text 3 = Google
Text Box Search 3 = Google Search...

and

Search Button Text 4 = Yahoo
Text Box Search 4 = Yahoo Search...

in the admin area of the search module and then the google and yahoo searches will show.

Regards,

They are listed on the following tutorial:

http://shape5.com/demo/city_portal/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=102

"search" and "search2" need to be added.
