I'm using the search engine php that's installed with XOOPS and results are ok but are shown on a plain page instead of the theme's template. The results are the same regardless of which theme I use. I have not modified any theme html so I don't suspect a 'theme' problem per se but perhaps a corrupt search.php (which means I am probably in the wrong forum) but a half hour of searching for something on the forum yields nothing and I will start here. The situation has existed for quite a while as all 3 of my backups are with the same behavior. I obviously don't want to re-install XOOPS to fix this unless no alternative. Feedback appreciated.

I'm encountering the exact same problem. Did you find a fix?

Only the part in the Search.PHP after <H4> is being displayed at the top of my page.

All I see is

{module name}
article username
article username
article username
article username
show all results

SEARCH BOX

The remaining part of my page is my theme, but the content is empty.


I'm guessing I have a bad template? But which one is it? It seems like all the HTML for output is within Search.PHP.

About what theme are we talking here?
Is your website online so visitors of this forum can see it?
Some more detail/information is needed to get any good advice from others.

Thanks McDonald for stepping up to help. You are right, I didn't give much info to help.

I was able to find the source of my problem and fix it, sort of. I'll describe my solution, just in case anyone else is searching for a solution to this problem. Or if anyone has a better solution, please let me know.

I am running a module called Mantis. Search results kicked out by Mantis were being written above my theme. I found a suggestion here that showed me how to remove a module form the Search engine by editing the xoops_version.php within the Mantis module folder.

I found the following code:



and changed it to:



This removed Matis results from my global search. Fortunately I don't need them.
