External Searchbar

If for any reason you don't want a sticky search bar for images within the page header, you can add an external search bar within your site content. Use this search bar to access the webshop and to search for images in your media archive. Place the search bar so that it is visible, making it easy for customers to find your images.

Add an external searchbar

    1. In Main Administrative Menu, navigate to Content.
    2. In the Content Overview table, select a page to add an External Searchbar to, and click Edit. 
    3. Go to the bottom of the Edit template form and select Add External Searchbar from the Add Section dropdown menu.
    4. In the Headline area, enter a name or description text (optional). The Editor menu allows applying a Format and/or Style to the text.
    5. Paste the URL of your image archive (i.e. webshop). You can copy the URL when starting an empty search in your archive. Type in a placeholder text to appear in your search bar, e.g. Type in a keyword (Linktext).
    6. Choose a Background-Color for the paragraph. To learn how to add new background colors, refer to Change Look & Feel (2. Background Colors for Paragraph Types).
