extra search box in a drupal mod

[marketstone]

i am trying to ad an extra search box to search_by_page here is the function:

function search_by_page_form( &$form_state, $keys = '' ) {

  $form = array(
    '#action' => url( 'search_pages' ),
    '#attributes' => array('class' => 'search-by-page-form'),
    '#method' => 'post',
  );

  $fieldlabel = variable_get( 'search_by_page_field_label', t( 'Search for' ));
  $buttonlabel = variable_get( 'search_by_page_button_label', t( 'Search'));
  if (module_exists('i18nstrings')) {
    $fieldlabel = tt('search_by_page:search_form:field_label', $fieldlabel);
    $buttonlabel = tt('search_by_page:search_form:button_label', $buttonlabel);
  }

  $form['keys'] = array(
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#title' => $fieldlabel,
    '#default_value' => $keys,
    '#size' => 30,
    '#maxlength' => 255,
  );

  $form['submit'] = array(
    '#type' => 'submit',
    '#value' => $buttonlabel,
  );

  return $form;
}

and i added this

function search_by_page_form( &$form_state, $keys = '' ) {

  $form = array(
    '#action' => url( 'search_pages' ),
    '#attributes' => array('class' => 'search-by-page-form'),
    '#method' => 'post',
  );

  $fieldlabel = variable_get( 'search_by_page_field_label', t( 'Search for' ));
  $buttonlabel = variable_get( 'search_by_page_button_label', t( 'Search'));
  if (module_exists('i18nstrings')) {
    $fieldlabel = tt('search_by_page:search_form:field_label', $fieldlabel);
    $buttonlabel = tt('search_by_page:search_form:button_label', $buttonlabel);
  }

  $form['keys'] = array(
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#title' => $fieldlabel,
    '#default_value' => $keys,
    '#size' => 30,
    '#maxlength' => 255,
  );

$form[extrabox]['keys'] = array(
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#title' => t('Search'),
    '#default_value' => $keys,
    '#size' => 30,
    '#maxlength' => 255,
  );


  $form['submit'] = array(
    '#type' => 'submit',
    '#value' => $buttonlabel,
  );

  return $form;
}

it gives me an extra box but it is not included in the search???

a drupal specific forum is more likely to be able to help.

Thanks, Jennifer said (she wrote the search_by_page mod)

a) You are missing quotes around 'extrabox' -- you would get a PHP
error on some platforms.

b) Rather than editing the search_by_page.module file directly, you
should define your own module and use hook_form_alter() to alter the
Search by Page form. This will allow you easier upgrades in the future,
when new versions of Search by Page come out.

c) As far as what you are actually trying to do (whether you do it as a
modification of Search by Page or in a hook_form_alter() function), you
will need to look at what Search by Page is doing when that form is
submitted, in search_by_page_form_submit(). You would need to add in the
keys from your other search field to the keys from the default search
field. Note that if you are using hook_form_alter, you can add a submit
handler function when you alter the form, which will be called before or
after the default submit handler (or you can replace the form's submit

handler with your submit handler).

so i need to change this to add extra field keys getting closer:
<code>
function search_box_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
$form_id = $form['form_id']['#value'];
$form_state['redirect'] = 'search/node/'. trim($form_state['values'][$form_id]);
}</code>

oops no i need to change this
<code>
/**
Submit function for search_by_page_form().
/
function search_by_page_form_submit( $form, &$form_state ) {
$keys = $form_state['values']['keys'];
if ($keys == '') {
form_set_error('keys', t('Please enter some keywords.'));
}

$form_state['redirect'] = 'search_pages/'. $keys;

return;
}
</code>
that top one is from the main drupal search_box_form_submit
