Where do I start if I want to change the look of the search bar?

[Leia]

H!,

I found this website in the forum: http://yogaconnection.blackfoot.net.nz/events/

I really like the way they show the categories with drop downs and the white background. I wonder where do I start if I want it to look like that?
I also have the filter bar, but I would like to change both of them.

Big thanks, Leia

I also have another question.

In the link above the categories are showing without clicking on category – just by hover.
Is it a lot of modifying to do that?

At the moment, on my webpage, I have to click first on categories and then the arrow just to show the different categories and I would like them to show up when you drag the mouse over them.

Big thanks!

Good afternoon Leia and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
We will gladly try to assist you on this topic.

Great question. By the looks of it, this site is actually not using our plugin 🙁

That being said, you could totally achieve similar results through some template customization and CSS.

As a starting point, you might want to read our Themer’s guide.
To make a long story short, you can make your own versions of most views for both the free plugin and the premium plugins.

If you prefer, you can also hire one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.

My best guess is that this is accomplished via some form of JavaScript, which is not a feature that is currently built-in our products.

So unless you are confortable with coding (or have access to somebody who is), it is involved enough that I would consider using a professional for that purpose.

I wish I had a better answer for you, but for now it’s the best one I have.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
