Is there a way to display the forum search within a WordPress widget? If there is a shortcode available to show the search, that would do the trick.

Thanks

No one has ever asked for that before...  but you might have a couple options...

one...  just duplicate the template function call in the spHead template file...  see:   http://codex.simple-press.com/.....earchform/

sp basically, trying duplicating the way its displayed in the forum itself...

two...  use our blog search plugin...  it includes a widget for using in widgets,sidebars or pages...  only caveat is that it will search both your blog and your forum...

ok that's perfect. I didn't know the blog search would extend to the forum. 

 

thanks!
