Hey Cliff! How about Header Searchin for BVC5? I couldn't figure out how to add it into the header, so I cheated and positioned the search that I set in the left column to show up in the header. All is well until I get to the pages without the left navigation. So, back to square 1.
How can I add the search to the header? |

I ha the same problem before. I spent some time to find out myself how that was possible. First I customized the Search/View.ascx under ContentBlock. Then I called it from Header with <%register...>. It is working properly.
SP2 now has a 'search.ascx' Control under 'Conrol' file separate form the one in ContentBlock. I think you can just customize it and call it from Header.

Just do the following in your theme's Header.ascx up top: Code:<%@ Register Src="~/BVModules/Controls/Search.ascx" TagName="HeaderSearch" TagPrefix="uc1" %> Then place this one where you'd like it to go in Header.ascx: Code:<uc1:HeaderSearch ID="MiniSearch1" runat="server" /> What I would do is copy the search control, modify it, and place it in the controls folder of your theme and reference it there, so your theme is more portable with search intact. |

How to move <SPAN id=ctl00_MainContentHolder_ContentColumnControl3_ctl00_lblTitle>Mailing List to the footer in BVC5? It was easy to move SEARCH to the header...

That search control mentioned above, and the search module you see in the admin/columns are two different things.
To add BV Modules, like the mailing list, to the footer, I'd suggest adding a content column to your theme's footer control so you can administer it from the admin. |

Michael, you'd do the same thing as on http://forums.bvcommerce.com/de...lt.aspx?f=79&m=42686, but you'd do this in your theme's footer.ascx control. Add this with the rest of the registers up top: Code:<%@ Register Src="~/BVModules/Controls/ContentColumnControl.ascx" TagName="ContentColumnControl" TagPrefix="uc3" %> This is basically what you would put where you'd like your custom content to show up: Code:<uc3:ContentColumnControl ID="ContentColumnControl1" runat="server" ColumnName="Footer Content" /> Note the ColumnName="Footer Content". When you create your content column in the admin, Footer Content is the name you would give it. As long as those match up, and you can style your content, you're all set. |

Hey Cliff, thank you so much. You are the men!
P.S. When I try to add email to the Mailing List I can't find that email address in my admin... People-->Filter-> and still nothing...

No problem.
I don't believe BVC5 allows you to view mailing list sign-ups. |

As far as I can tell. You can see the number of people who have signed up for a list when you go to 'Send Email' under Admin > People > Mailing Lists. I personally wouldn't consider using the built-in mailing list stuff at all. It's risky to do email campaigns from the server your store is running on (blacklisting, performance, etc.) and I don't even see an unsubscribe feature, which is a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act. Just don't use it. I use Campaign Monitor, and would highly recommend a dedicated service like that instead. There are several out there, so it's just a matter of figuring out how to capture those email addresses (we need plugins, developers). |
