Top searches

[supermanParticipant]

Hi,
I want display Top searches below in search box. What function should I type in the line 8 ?

1 switch($style){
2 case “4”: {
3 $STRING .= ‘<div class=”col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12″ id=”core_logo”><a
4 href=”‘.get_home_url().’/” title=”‘.get_bloginfo(‘name’).'”>’.hook_logo(true).’
5 </div>’;
6 $STRING .= ‘<div class=”col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-xs-12″>
7 <div style=”margin:10px” >’.do_shortcode(‘[wpdreams_ajaxsearchpro id=4]‘).'</div>
8 <div> Put Top search in here </div>
9 </div>’;

Best
Ken

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):

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

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

/
**
 * 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' );

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,

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:

	
        ob_start();
	dynamic_sidebar( 'asp_top_searches_widget' );
	$asp_plus_sidebar = ob_get_clean();

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:

.asp_top_keywords {
  margin: 0 12px;
}

.asp_top_keywords a {
  color: #ffffff;
}
