Hello,

I've just installed osCommerce 2.3 - hmm, a bit different to the previous edition...!

I would like the Advanced Search to be a clickable button (like the Search button) linking to the Advanced Search page, rather than text linking to the Advanced Search page.

Can anyone help with how this could this done?

Yep..just need to draw a hidden form search in description and input box submits to FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH.. we done this on our live 2.2 rc2a store as well as in our test shop on 2.3.1. If nobody gets you the code, I'll post it when I get to work.

Sorry Ingrid I re-read your post, I thought you were asking how to make the search do an advanced search rather then a basic search.

So you just want to change the text displayed to an actual UI Widget Button?

If so this should do it..
tep_draw_button(IMAGE_BUTTON_ADVANCED_SEARCH, 'triangle-1-e', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH))

In catalog/includes/modules/boxes/bm_search.php

Find:

'<br /><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '"><strong>' . MODULE_BOXES_SEARCH_BOX_ADVANCED_SEARCH . '</strong></a>' .

Replace with:

'<br />' . tep_draw_button(IMAGE_BUTTON_ADVANCED_SEARCH, 'triangle-1-e', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH)) .

Then add the language definition to the apropriate languages you use:
For example
catalog/includes/langues/english.php
Add before the final ?>

define('IMAGE_BUTTON_ADVANCED_SEARCH', 'Advanced Search');
