    Expanding the search drop down

    A simple skin edit to make the drop down box larger for easier navigation

    Posted by AndyF on Aug 25 2008 06:36 PM
    This may be useful for sites that have a lot of IDM categories.

    By default, the search only shows four categories at once in the drop down. There may be times when you only want to search a few categories but the small drop down box is difficult to navigate. It is easy to change this with a small skin edit. :)

    ACP > Look / Feel > Skin Manager > (edit skin) > Edit Template HTML > Skin Downloads > Search Form

    Find...
    	 <tr>
    	  <td width='20%' align='right' valign='top'><strong>{$this->ipsclass->lang['search_category']}</strong><div class='forumdesc'>{$this->ipsclass->lang['search_cat_extra']}</div></td>
    	  <td align='left'><select name='search_cat[]' multiple='multiple' size='4'>{$cat_options}</select></td>
    	 </tr>

    Replace with...
    	 <tr>
    	  <td width='20%' align='right' valign='top'><strong>{$this->ipsclass->lang['search_category']}</strong><div class='forumdesc'>{$this->ipsclass->lang['search_cat_extra']}</div></td>
    	  <td align='left'><select name='search_cat[]' multiple='multiple' size='10'>{$cat_options}</select></td>
    	 </tr>
