search icon

Asked by Thomas Kutter 3 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

Hi,

I use the Helix Ultimate template and have built a search field into the header. Now there is this big search box.

Is it possibility with the Helix Ultimate, that I can also use an search icon? Like in the One Clip Template?

Best regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

the easiest way (no extra coding) would be:

  1. Add new menu item - using Joomla "Search or Smart Search" component
  2. Using Helix Ultimate settings hide menu item title and choose "search" icon
  3. You should see search icon only as last item in menu (header).

I have done this.
The helix template has a filed by default called topsearch
Create a module using the smart search
In the module, have the setings as follows
Seach Filter -No Filter
Search Suggestions Hide
Advanced Search Hide
Seach Field Label Hide
Alternative Label empty
Search button Hide
Enable Opensearch No
Set itemID leave as is

This will display the simple search icon, which whenclicked will give a small search popup
