[Resolved] Use the 2nd Navigation Bar as Search function

[Craig Nicholson]

Hi

I have created a search page on my website

http://luxor-lettings.com/passing-var/

however i wondered if there was a way to use a 2nd navigation bar to contain three or four of the search components on the top header at all times?

i.e. please take a look at this image which is a mock up i pulled together of what i envisaged it looking like:

so i want to have a 2nd bar underneath my current nav bar but it doesnt contain navigations it is more the “search” features

can anyone help?

thanks

Hmm, well you would need to be using some sort of property plugin/custom post type which had a built in search function that searched the post type. Not something I can really help with in here, but there’s definitely some property plugins out there that would have this kind of functionality.

Hi Tom

i have managed to get a search function in the header but i need to align the table to the left.

any suggestions?

i have created a Text widget using this html in the header

<form action=”catching-var” method=”post”>
<table style=”width: 100%;”>
<tbody>

<tr>
<td>Postcode</td>
<td><select name=”postcode”>
<option value=”L”>No Postcode</option>
<option value=”L4″>L4</option>
<option value=”L6″>L6</option>
<option value=”L7″>L7</option>
<option value=”L14″>L14</option>
<option value=”L15″>L15</option>
<option value=”L17″>L17</option>
<option value=”L20″>L20</option>
<option value=”L35″>L35</option>
</select></td>
<td>Max. Bedrooms</td>
<td><select name=”roommax”>
<option value=”1″>1</option>
<option value=”2″>2</option>
<option value=”3″>3</option>
<option value=”4″>4</option>
<option value=”5″>5</option>
</select></td>
<td>Max. Price PCM (£)</td>
<td><select name=”pricemax”>
<option value=”9999″>No Max</option>
<option value=”100″>100 PCM</option>

Try this CSS:

.header-widget {
      float: none;
      max-width: 100%;
}

please take a look, only question, do you think there is a way i can make the header widget thinner?

i.e. the distance between the “Advanced Search” and the bottom of the grey area (like there is an additional row)

[Tom]

Try this CSS:

.header-widget table {
      margin-bottom: 0;
}
