Template 14 in TNG v11.1.1

[BobD 0]

I am using template 14 for my home page and I'd like to switch the order of the name search boxes so you enter the Last Name first but I can't seen to find where it's done. I've looked at the css files but cant fine any references to First or Last name. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I presume you are using version 11.1.+?

Look in your template folder and open the template 14 index.php file.

Before you edit make a backup copy of the file.

There is a searchform section. Switch the order of the first and last name sections.

Save and upload to your server.

Bear in mind that you may need to re-edit if there are any upgrades affecting the templates.

Thanks Chris, that worked but the cursor still starts in the "First Name" box which defeats the purpose of the switch. I could find no reference to the cursor that file.

Try something like this:

Example

Let the "First name" input field automatically get focus when the page loads:

<form action="/action_page.php">

  Last name: <input type="text" name="lname" autofocus><br>
  First name: <input type="text" name="fname" ><br>
 
  <input type="submit">
</form>

 

You will need to edit this to fit your template terms.

Thanks Chris,

Took me a little while to figure out what you meant but I finally got it.  Much appreciate the help. I might figure out this TNG yet. (with a lot of help from the forum) !!
