Hi there,

I'm new to modx and have built a site using the SimpleSearch plugin.
I've been looking in the install directory for any local CSS files, but other than the .tpl files (which doesn't do anything) I can't find anything to style the look of the search form etc.
Also no luck looking in the SQL database.

I also didn't find any documentation covering this part, and I can hardly leave the search form looking default.

Could anyone help me out here?
I just need access to the CSS/HTML.

Regards

I've not used SimpleSearch but a quick look at the documentation http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/SimpleSearch.SimpleSearch suggests that it works in a similar manner to other modx extras.
The default templates are in the documentation. The default templates can be over-ridden by creating a chunk with the html (easiest to base it on the default) and then including in your call something like:

... &tpl=`mycustomtpl` ...

The custom css is just css that can live any where ( a common place would be /assets/css/ ) and then linked from your page template or included with a snippet - see http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Adding+CSS+and+JS+to+Your+Pages+Through+Snippets This css could be an extra file or just part of your site css.

Ah right, that did the trick, thanks!
Sorry, I'm still new to modx. Didn't seem that logical at first ;-)
