How to integrate google custom search to FlatSnow (qa1.7)?

Question

I thought overriding the search () function at the qa-theme.php would work, apparently I didnt do it right.

I also looked into this solution http://www.question2answer.org/qa/23606/tutorial-dramatically-improve-implementing-google-search

but I am looking for a soltuion that can be all summarized  inside the qa-theme and to avoid core hack.

Any help will be appreciated

Thank you

Answer 1

It seems that layer function (search()) of GCS plugin is not called in only SnowFlat. I do not know the detailed cause. But, it seems that GCS plugin moves correctly by replacing one line of snowFlat.

qa-theme/SnowFlat/qa-theme.php (around L603)   qam_search()

//qa_html_theme_base::search();

$this->search();

Anyway V1.7 is incomplete version. In particular, I think there will be many problems related to compatibility with existing plugins.

I do not support V1.7-Beta yet. If you are using GCS at V1.7-Beta and snowFlat, ask to Theme author (Jatin ?). Or, if your issue is occuring in V1.6.3, ask question in detail as new question.

Googl cse no longer support iframe. I has been changed your code to new google api. Result is here:http://hoidapnhanh.org/googlecse?q=glenn+doman&qa-googlecse-select=cse
