Enter search words bug

evanhenry

Hey Vot/Codersclub,

I wish you a Happy New Year!

A silly bug which I didn't notice so far. My search bar shows the text "Enter search content" by default as shown in the attached image. Every time when I need to perform a search, I have to delete the text first and then enter keywords which is a pain for users. If I delete that text, I get "Enter search words" and unlike before, it allows me to type any text without deleting which is same as your site.




Can you fix this problem or let me know how to do it?

The problem is easy to solve,You just edit template/default/common/pubsearchform.htm
Find

1. <td class="scbar_txt_td"><input type="text" name="srchtxt" id="scbar_txt" value="{lang enter_content}" autocomplete="off" x-webkit-speech speech /></td>

Copy the Code

Modified to

1. <td class="scbar_txt_td"><input type="text" name="srchtxt" id="scbar_txt" placeholder="{lang enter_content}" autocomplete="off" x-webkit-speech speech /></td>

Copy the Code

great tip roxmake!

@vot: Quick revision already! I figured out, you annotated the the lang_js file with a comment regarding this. Now after this  placeholder change, does it mean the lang_template.php will take preference over the js file or vice versa? Can the js "enter_search_string" be deleted.

I am really happy since I am able to find things quickly after using Discuz for almost an year. Credit goes to codersclub folks.

No it does not. And vice versa does not too

Can the js "enter_search_string" be deleted.

No. That value "enter_search_string" is still used
in a case when your browser is not compatible with the modern "placeholder" attribute.

thanks vot!

If it works, I have an other bug fix for you.

Background -> Forum -> Forum Management -> Add new Forum -> here, can the placeholder attribute be added to "New forum name"?
