Body
<p>I am trying to implement a simple "Virtuemart Only" search in one of the custom modules on a site. What I'd like is to be able to insert the search tags into an existing table in a <strong>mod_custom</strong> module. The problem is, I have no idea how to code an <code><INPUT></code> tag to work with VM.</p> <p>Every Google search I've done returns solutions centered on either (1) installing the VM Advanced Search module, (2) using the basic VM Search module, or (3) using Modules Anywhere to load one of the previously mentioned modules into an existing space. Problem is, the site I'm working on doesn't need another module taking up space. It really just needs a simple <code><INPUT></code> field in a particular location that sends queries to VM.</p> <p>Edit: To clarify my purpose, here is a partial of the source code I want to insert the search into:</p> <pre><code><table id="product-search" class="product-search"> <tbody> <tr> <td></td> <td><span class="search-title">Order Online</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="shopping-cart.png" /></td> <td><**SEARCH CODE HERE**></td> </tr> etc... etc... </code></pre> <p>So you can see, it's just a simple table with some icons, phone numbers, etc., with the search <code><input></code> (hopefully) inserted in the middle of it.</p> <p>I'm guessing I just need to add some stupidly simple code like:</p> <pre><code><form action="administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.search.php" method="get"> Product Search: <input type="text" name="fname" /><input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </code></pre> <p>Of course, I just get an error trying to directly access that particular script, so I'm wondering: Any VM gurus know how to code this?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
