Understanding blocks (changing the cart block position

[LeadFoot]

First, I want to say thank you to the community for such a great product!  I've only just discovered prestashop, so I'm very much a noob here.  I've been using wordpress as my ecommerce platform, and I just couldn't take it any longer - had to jump ship.

 

So, I'm having a problem understanding how to format things.  I want to disable the search on my site, but keep the cart in the current position. 

 

Here it is currently:

 

 

But when I remove the search, the cart shifts to the left.

 

 

What would I need to do to keep the cart where it is?  Is there a way for me to add a space / empty <div> to the formatting?

 

Thanks

How have you removed the search box ???

 

You could look in themes/YOUR-THEME/css/modules/blocksearch/blocksearch.css and find this

#search_block_top {
    padding-top: 50px;
}

and change it to 

#search_block_top {
    padding-top: 50px;
    display: none;
}

Thank you very much for your reply mickeyboy1.  I've set the search box to display:none and it worked perfectly.

To answer your original question - yes, I had disabled the search block entirely at first.  It is active now, but not displayed.

 

The cart is now on the right aligned and looks good, and the search box appears removed.

 

I'm still getting used to this theming system - it's alot to take in!
