Create module

[tarek.fellah]

Hi,

 

I would like to create a module search by reference, i prepared the tpl which is a form, i would like to know how can complete my module correctly: (create the controller? in the module or outside) which code to get the search input value, should i use 2 tpl files (one for the form serach and one for the result ) and i would like that the result will be diplayed in "center_column" and thanks in advance.

In back office:

About searching for things, maybe have a look at /controllers/admin/adminsearchcontroller.php

or start your 'search' at header.inc.php and search your files for bo_search_type.

 

 

For front office, search, look how they do it in block search. This may give you some ideas...

 

My 2 cents,

Pascal
