Hello,

I am new to these templates (and joomla for that matter) and I am having a problem with the search module.  The input box and search button do not show up.  You can see what I am talking about here - http://www.wacomommies.com/index.php

Thanks.

You need to publish the joomla search module to the "search" module position as described here:

I tried that and the whole module disappeared.

I am sure I am missing something, but I don't know what.

Thanks

You published the joomla search module to the "search" position and it disappeared?  I think you may have published the s5 search module to the "search" position.

I am sorry but I am totally confused.  Do I need two search modules enabled to make this work?  I followed the instructions on the link and added the <positions>'s tag to the xml file.  It sounds like maybe I need the joomla search module enabled as well as the s5 search module.  If that is right, how do I get them both together?

Thanks!

UPDATE

I tried enabling both the joomla search module and the s5 search module and I do now have a search box and button, but they are not lined up right.  So I think I must still have something wrong.  I have the s5 search module in the banner position and joomla search in the search position.  Thanks.

Not sure why the alignment is off but if you change the margin top to what i have below this will fix it:

style.css (line 134)

#s5_search_middle_bottom {
margin-top:-24px;
}

I don't have a style.css.  I have editor.css and template_css.css and the blue and orange css files.  Maybe not having style.css is my problem??

Disregard above.  I found style.css in the search module, applied the fix and all is well now.  Thank you very much!!
