Top searches

Hi!

Since there is no shortcode available yet for the top searches, I suggest to create a widgetized area to that location, and add the “Top searches” widget there. So your code would look like this (line 7-9):

[code]
7 <div style="margin:10px" >’.do_shortcode(‘[wpdreams_ajaxsearchpro id=4]‘).'</div>
8 <div> ‘.dynamic_sidebar( ‘asp_top_searches_widget’ ).’ </div>
9 </div>’;
[/code]

and, you will need to initialize that widgetized area, so you need to put this code to the themes functions.php file:

[code]/
**
* Register an extra area for the search
*
*/
function asp_top_searches_widget_area() {

register_sidebar( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Top searches widget area’),
‘id’ => ‘asp_top_searches_widget’,
‘before_widget’ => ”,
‘after_widget’ => ”,
‘before_title’ => ”,
‘after_title’ => ”,
) );

}
add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘asp_top_searches_widget_area’ );
[/code]

Then, this widget area should be visible on the backend (appearance->widgets menu), where you should be able to add the top searches widget now.

I don’t know if this will work, but it’s definitely worth a try.

Hi!

It didn’t work, because that function echos the content, and the part where you added was already echoed, so it run twice.

I’ve added the following lines to fix that:
[code]
ob_start();
dynamic_sidebar( ‘asp_top_searches_widget’ );
$asp_plus_sidebar = ob_get_clean();
[/code]

I see you also wanted to make those keywords white, so I added a CSS rule, because putting them into a paragraph will not help. The following rule is added to the search custom CSS section:

[code]
.asp_top_keywords {
margin: 0 12px;
}

.asp_top_keywords a {
color: #ffffff;
}
[/code]
