  I am using Postnuke version 0.764, and have the following question/situation.
  
  
  I have a theme I am working on, and in the 'master.htm' template I have placed the following snippet (copy/pasted from the pnDefault theme) into the header area of my template so I have a search block:
  
  

  Code

  <!--[pnml name="_SEARCH" assign="search_label"]-->
  <!--[search active="faqs, stories" label=$search_label class="pn-normal"]-->

  
  
  The problem I am having is that I would like to do all of the following in my theme(s), but do not know which file(s) need editing, or if there is a template I can use to accomplish this:
  

  • in one situation, I would like to remove the word 'Search' from the exterior of the block
    
  • in another situation, I would like to simply change the color of the word 'Search' that is already displayed -- but for some reason cannot do it with CSS
    
  • I would like the words 'Search site' displayed within the textbox
    
  • (most important) would like a button for users to click that says 'Submit'
    

  
  
  Thank you for your help

  You can edit this by copying /modules/Xanthia/plugins/function.search.php to /themes/YOURTHEMENAME/plugins/function.search.php. Edit that PHP file to suit your needs.
  
  I think that the plugin in /themes is called before the Xanthia-plugin, so this should work. Do not forget to clear all caches and compiled templates (search the forum if you do not understand these terms).

  while i expected this to work, it did not. I modified the file, and added it to the following directory (just to confirm it's going where it should):
  
  /themes/myTHEMENAME/plugins/function.search.php
  
  -- I also tried :
  /themes/YOURTHEMENAME/Xanthia/plugins/function.search.php
  
  ...just in case, but that did not work either.
  
  Is there another file somewhere?

  Make sure caching in Xanthia and pnRender is OFF, and force template compilation is on.
  Then, when editing the plugin in /modules/Xanhia/plugins directly, changes should be seen immediately.
