How can I move the advanced search into the left sidebar of my homepage? No one seems to have been able to give me an answer so far and I would really like to know how this can be done. Thankyou

Use following code in local.xml to move advanced search to left side bar on home page.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <cms_index_index>
        <reference name="left">
            <block type="catalogsearch/advanced_form" name="catalogsearch_advanced_form" template="catalogsearch/advanced/form.phtml"/>
        </reference>
    </cms_index_index>
</layout>

Hope this helps

  • It made it appear on the homepage. But now at the top there is breadcrumbs which say 'home/catalog advanced search' which I wouldn't like to happen and also when you search it just goes to 404 page not found

  • Copy catalogsearch/advanced/form.phtml file in to your theme. and modify as per your requirements. Commented Mar 22, 2016 at 12:13
  • It is in my theme and it is identical to the original, the search isn't working
