[Forum] Search Box in Template editor is missing.

[Jefferis]

HI guys, I can't figure out what happened, but the search in template box is missing in my style & templates editor. I saw this option before and saw it in the youtube training:





Any Ideas how to get this feature back?

To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

[Note: In some cases you may also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.]

Next, disable all products (except vB Blog and vB CMS if you are running the Suite.)

Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Disable

Then manually uncheck all plugins that are not for 'vBulletin Blog' and vBulletin CMS' here:

Admin CP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager

You must do BOTH of those steps in order to disable all non vBulletin Modifications.

Do you have the same problem?

With the security release updates L1 and L2, the new files show the "unexpected contents" errors

That will not be the case if you follow those instructions and upload all the files.

Okay guys, I have upgraded the entire site to 4.1, replacing all files and following instructions. I am still missing the Search IN Template Box !!!!! WHAT is going on??

What browser are you using?

[Jefferis]

What browser are you using?

Safari 5.0.3, just tried in Chrome, same result.

Hmmm... but works in Firefox ... :-(

ODD, Safari has a field called Additional Options, but Firefox has Search In Template instead but not additional options.

It's the same in Opera...

[Jefferis]

Not currently, I used Chrome on Windows to check as I was unaware this issue even existed and sure enough, there it was. I'm searching in the tracker now and will update this post when I find something .

Edit: Here it is - http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-8797 so basically it's due to when the JS was written for that aspect of the software however I would vote for it, I did and so should you and anyone else using Chrome as their default browser .
