Admin only search box !

By jasoos 487 days ago

I'm aware of the search/header, but how do I disable any search boxes on the page? It should only be visible to Admin.

<?php

elgg_register_event_handler('init', 'system', 'minimal_hide_search_init');

function minimal_hide_search_init() {
if (!elgg_is_admin_logged_in()) {
elgg_unextend_view('page/elements/header', 'search/header');
}
}

The code you mentioned should work.
I assume your custom plugin is not located at the bottom on the Plugins page.
Or you didn't clean the caches.
You can also try overriding this view instead:
Copy from \mod\search\views\default\search\header.php to \mod\my_plugin\views\default\search\header.php
Edit this file:
<?php if (!elgg_is_admin_logged_in()) { return; } echo elgg_view('search/search_box', array('class' => 'elgg-search-header'));
Flush the caches is required.
You can use this skeleton plugin for your customizations.
