    • How to remove the "Find" option in the top bar ?

    Posted by arjun posts: 5

    Hi,

    I'm new to Tikiwiki.
    Can someone please explain how I can remove the "Find" field in the top bar (just below the logo on the top left) ?
    I've enabled the "Search" module on the left column and want to remove the "Find" part from the top bar but
    there doesn't seem to be a simple way to do this. I'm using the bluegreen.css theme/style.

    Also, how do I change the colour of the top bar (background colour) ?

    Please reply soon.

    Thanks and regards
    Arjun

    Are you using a modified theme? When I switch to bluegreen.css here or at other sites, I don't see a "Find" in the top bar, although there is one on blog pages. Anyway, if you can identify what CSS selector is used (what div, etc.) you can use a "display: none" property. Or you can delete or comment out the code in the template involved, once it is known.

    Probably it's specified by div#tiki-top or div#tiki-top_bar. You could look with your browser at the source of your page to see what div is responsible. Search for some text that appears against that background color to locate the place in the source quickly. Then find that selector in the CSS file and change the color specification.

    Gary, Thanks for that.

    I discovered that I could switch it off by unchecking "Site Search" in the "Site Identity" admin screen. Don't know
    how I missed that earlier.
    I don't know if i'm using a modified theme. I may have accidently modified it cause i dont know how to do it.

    About the background colour for the top bar: I just discovered that in the "Site Identity" page, there is an field
    called "Site logo background color:" thru which I can change the top bar colour. Now all I need to do is to find
    the correct colour code.

    Thanks for your help.

    Cheers
    Arjun

    Well, I wasn't much help. I realized I don't know much about the Site Identity feature because I've never used it, but should have a look. wink
