Setting up an wordpress e-commerce site and I like this theme.

Had a through the forums but can't see my questions being asked anywhere so here goes.

1. Would like the search box centre at the bottom of the logo. Two options for this might be to set the logo as a background image and absolutely position the search box or set the search box between the logo and the nav bar with the background colour the same as the header so it looks part of the header. Is any of these optionss possible?

2. The product page feature with the zoom thumbnalis is good. Is the theme compatible with the MajicZoom plugin.

thanks

Let me answer your second question first…

I haven't personally tested Market with that plugin, however most plugins don't seem to have a problem. The only plugins that seem to have problems, are ones that conflict with "phpThumb" or "lightbox". I'd check the support area of MajicZoom, and see if they report any problems with those two plugins.

As far as your first question goes, to do what you're after — all you'd really need to do is change around some of the code in the "header.php" file of Market theme.

Rather than doing the logo as a background image (and risk losing the built-in ability for logo upload), I'd suggest just moving the search <form> and <input> tags up into the "logo" <div> tag.

That'd probably be the easiest way.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm not a coder but will have a go at anything with instructions. Will you be able to give me details on this.

Ok, here are the basics…

Open you "header.php" file and on or around line # 103, you'll find the lines:

        <p><?php echo mkt_THEME_HEADER_SEARCH_TITLE; ?></p>
        <form style="margin-bottom:0;margin:0;" method="get" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
          <input class="postform" type="text" name="s" value="<?php echo mkt_THEME_HEADER_SEARCH_BOX_TEXT; ?>" size="42" id="search_input" />
          <input type="image" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/imgs/search-magnify.gif" value="Search" alt="<?php echo mkt_THEME_HEADER_SEARCH_MAGNIFY_ALT; ?>" title="<?php echo mkt_THEME_HEADER_SEARCH_MAGNIFY_ALT; ?>" />
        </form>

Move those lines up in the header file and place them just before the line:

</div> <!– close header div –>

Save the file, and upload it to your Market theme folder. You can also edit this through the Theme Editor tool in your WordPress admin area.

If you don't want the search text over the top of it, then just remove the line:

Thanks very much.

Another question which I forgot to ask:

On the product page customer wants the zoom on the thumbnails on mouseover rather than on click. Is that possible?

It might be possible if you alter the "market_display_pd_thumbs()" function in the "functions.php" file, but I don't have the code to offer you for it.
