edit [ frm-search ] html

All Topics → → edit [ frm-search ] html

Hi,

The [frm-search] shortcode puts the search button on a new line after a <br>.

I would like the button on a new line – is there a way to customise it or do I need to write new <form . . . > html in full in my custom display?

Many thanks

This doesn't require HTML changes, but you coan add this line to your page or your theme style.css
#frm_search{float:left;margin-right:10px;}

Actually... there isn't any HTML in our HTML. Can you provide a link to your page? Your theme might be adding the <br>. Have you tried [raw][frm-search][/raw]? [raw] is included with most themes that add the extra <p> and <br>s.

The page is http://abm.me.uk/breastfeeding-support-groups/

What I want to achieve is to have the search box approx 2/3 of the width of the page with the submit button to the right of it.

Many thanks

Chris

Did you try adding those [raw] tags around your search? I am still seeing extra <br> tags in your search form. Your form is inserting these tags because it is filtering the content twice. Usually, adding [raw] tags around your formidable shortcode resolves this problem.

Your theme is also setting a width on the search form. Your CSS is minified, so I can't give you a line number to remove/edit, but the code looks like this:
.s, #header .s, #sidebar-1 .s, #sidebar-2 .s {
width: 165px;
}

The [raw] tags don't work. The theme is Catalyst and they have a great support forum too so I'll get some feedback over there and report back.

Many thanks

Yeah, ask them if there is a method to prevent certain content from getting filtered twice. There is also a possibility that the double filtering is coming from another plugin. Usually, plugins that automatically post content to facebook or twitter are responsible for this.

Let us know what you find out.

Hi Steve,
Don't mean to hijack this thread but I've been waiting for chrismc  to report back on his issue. coz I seems to be in the same boat..

tried both [raw] method and the one steph suggested.

TIA

@tsudev, I don't see a double-filtering issue with your form. In fact, I am not seeing any issue with your form (other than the [raw] tags that are showing up). Can you create a new topic and explain what problem you are having, and we'll take another look.

will do.
