Adding a search field to your header or footer.

harmonicdiscord

For those, like me, who were wondering how to add a search field to your custom header or footer, here's what smugmug told me. (Note, you have to be a power user or above to do this.)

[PHP]<form method="get" action="/search/index.mg">
<input type="text" name="searchWords" />
<input type="hidden" name="searchType" value="InUser" />
<input type="hidden" name="NickName" value="YOURNICKNAMEHERE" />
<input type="submit" value="Search Galleries" />
</form>[/PHP]

Just replace YOURNICKNAMEHERE with your nickname.

Cheers!

Here's an example of someone who did quite a nice job integrating it into their header:

Thats great, but how do you center the search box? Mine is showing up on the left side of my page. Thanks.

I have a similar issue, and an align center paragraph command did not solve it.
