how to add links search to header search form

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if you could help me out adding the links search as a select option for the header form.

Already looked at the code in bp-core-templatetags.php row 1022, but just a plain add of a links select doesn’t work. In that case the search gets redirected to members.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Kee… figured it out.. so for anyone else interested.

Add the following code to bp-core-php row 1774:
`
case ‘links’:
$slug = BP_LINKS_SLUG;
$var = ‘/?s=’;
break;
`
And this to bp-core-templatetags.php row 1025:
`if ( function_exists( ‘groups_install’ ) )
$selection_box .= ” . __( ‘Links’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ”; `

Note the function_exists tests a group install, which should actually look for buddypress links, but since I have groups enabled this check does the trick.

This will add the option links to your header search form.

Cheers, GooseNL

GooseNL – Is there any way you can elaborate, I seem to be having trouble. When I add the code in 1774 it gives me a syntax error
