Use the 2nd Navigation Bar as Search function
7 replies · Started by Craig Nicholson on March 20, 2015
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>

</select></td>
<td>Max. Price PCM (£)</td>

</form>
Try this CSS:
.header-widget {
float: none;
max-width: 100%;
}
thank you so much Tom it has worked a treat!!!!
thank you thank you thank you!!!!
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)
Try this CSS:
.header-widget table {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
Thanks Tom that is amazing!!
It's taking shape now the website please have a look at what you have helped me achieved
Looks really good! Lots of customization. Great job :)
