Search module error after upgrading to Joomla 4

Asked by CdF 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

Hi,
we recently updated a site with a "Macro" template to Joomla 4.
We have the problem with the search form (Error 404: Class "JEventDispatcher" not found).
Searching, we saw that it is a Joomla problem and that we have to use the new "smart search" component for searches.
We wanted to get guidance from you on how best to proceed with this step.
Above all, we were interested in knowing how to replace the search form found in the icon at the top right of the menu (see attached image ).
Thanks

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Which version of the Macro template are you using, please?

I have just checked the Macro quickstart pack version 3.0.0 and it's working fine at my end and all serches are smart search there already.

However, you should find the search module in your site modules list, published at the menu position:

The following blog post may help with search systems though:

Rashida thanks for the quick response,
We use the "Macro" version 3.0.0 template.
The "Search-top" module uses the old version of the search (not like your image).
We have updated the "Macro" version 3.0.0 template from your package, template only (no quickstart).
Do you know if this is updated with the new search version?
Thanks again
