I've changed the text for the search box, but how do I style the text? And, can I add an image? The designer wants to add one of those little magnifying glasses to the text box. sixfootjames on "Changing the search box text" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/changing-the-search-box-text#post-24784 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:03:16 +0000 sixfootjames 24784@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Managed to hash it together from this post... <a href="http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/style-search-bar-and-button-change-title-of-widget" rel="nofollow">http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/style-search-bar-and-button-change-title-of-widget</a> Thanks! sixfootjames on "Changing the search box text" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/changing-the-search-box-text#post-24783 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:57:08 +0000 sixfootjames 24783@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Could someone please tell me how you go about changing the button's text from "Search" to "Go"?

And I just discovered that for the change to apply, I have to drag the 'search' widget out of the area and then drag it back in. Go figure... And thank you again -- I found your functions.php code for changing the <a href="http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/search-box-to-long">search input box size too</a> using functions.php. What a gem. The css style option didn't work for my purposes but your code did. Thank you - your posts are like little presents.. helgatheviking on "Changing the search box text" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/changing-the-search-box-text#post-24460 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:47:47 +0000 helgatheviking 24460@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ how are you adding the form? thematic_search_form() or something else? bluejpro on "Changing the search box text" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/changing-the-search-box-text#post-24459 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:06:17 +0000 bluejpro 24459@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ This works to change the search box text in thematic's widgetized area BUt when I create my own widgetized area (header-aside) this doesn't work - the native search hint still shows. And it doesn't disappear on click. Inspecting the element shows the childtheme functions.php is active. But it's not being applied to my childtheme widget.... If you want to see a screenshot showing the problem: <a href="http://bit.ly/uEoEDS">Here it is...</a> Any advice?? boris on "Changing the search box text" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/changing-the-search-box-text#post-23022 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 11:15:26 +0000 boris 23022@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ Is there something more to it than this? I added the recommended code to functions.php but the text did not change.

Changing the default text which gets placed in the search box does not require re-filtering the entire search box wrapper. There's a filter which I couldn't find in the docs and so doing this: <code> //Change search box text function childtheme_search_value() { return "Enter your changed text here.."; } add_filter('search_field_value', 'childtheme_search_value'); </code> will let you change it whatever you like :) Hope that helps someone.

Ideally, it would be great to either: 1) have the underline show only on rollover; 2) have no underline, just the color shift for rollover. (And yes, I've pimped out humble Thematic with hot magenta and aqua rollover states cuz in a shameless pandering to current vogue color schemes. ;-) ) I don't really know how to code CSS or PHP. But, I've been using Firebug to identify code and Dreamweaver to edit it. This has been a fairly effective method, so far. Also, I'm not following prescribed method for child themes, in that I've copied the original theme in whole and have made edits to this default.css file. Not sure if that adds any additional complications. I couldn't get my brain wrapped around the child-theme scenario, so went this way. Here's the link to my hidden staged area: <a href="http://dev.organicmultiplicity.org" rel="nofollow">http://dev.organicmultiplicity.org</a> Any help making this little detail is greatly appreciated.
