  Hi,
  
  I'm relatively new to Zikula, although I've been reading the Wikis, documentation, forums, etc... but now I've run into a problem adding a Search field to a plug-in. I've done some rough work on my website (http://www.digitalmeister.com it doesn't look good in IE6 yet) and I was able use

  Code

  <!--[search value="Search" size="9em"]-->&

  on the master.htm to get the Search field to appear in the navigation bar.
  
  
  However, now I'm trying to do some changes on my VM test machine where I can remove the menu block and just use my navigation bar so that it's easier to maintain the site. So far, so good, until I try to get the Search field to work in the plug-in.
  
  The plug-in has the following code:
  

  Code

  <?php
      function smarty_function_navigation($params, &$smarty)
      {
          $uid = pnUserGetVar('uid');
          $isAdministrator = false;
          extract($params);
          unset($params);
          $output = '<ul>';
          $output .= '<li ><a href="' . pnGetBaseURL() . '">HOME</a></li>';
          $output .= '<li ><a href="">NEWS & INFO</a></li>';
          $output .= '<li ><a href="">PROGRAMMING</a></li>';
          $output .= '<li ><a href="">PROJECTS</a></li>';                            
          $output .= '<li ><a href="">FORUMS</a></li>';
          # check if the user is an administrator
          Loader::loadClass('UserUtil');
          $user_groups = UserUtil::getGroupsForUser(SessionUtil::getVar('uid'));
          #NOTE: the group ID for Administrators in this case is 2
          foreach ($user_groups as $gid)
          {
              if($gid == 2)
              {      
                  $output .= '<li ><a href="">ADMIN</a></li>';
              }
          }
          $output .= '<li ><div ><!--[search value="Search" size="9em"]-->&nbsp</div></li>';
          $output .= '</ul>';
          return $output;
      }
  
  ?>

  
  
  But, the Search field now gets processed as commented piece of HTML, so it doesn't appear. If tried find a function that will allow me to put it in like before, but no luck. Does anyone have an idea how to insert a Search field using a plug-in?
  
  
  Thanks in advance,
  DM
