Chamilo - Search bar into footer

Question

I have a problem with Chamilo 1.9.8. I want to add Google Search bar to a website into the footer, but I don't know which file I have to edit to insert the code, and where that file is situated.

I have never worked with this system, so I am new in this category, please can you help me?

Answer 1

If it's just a matter of updating the footer, you can find it in 1.9.8 in main/template/default/layout/footer.tpl

Note that, for these changes to take effect, you'll have to delete the template caching in archive/twig/ (just delete the contents of that folder) or click the "Archive directory cleanup" link on your Chamilo administration panel.

You can also find useful tips about modifying the templates in the (unfinished) developers documentation here: https://github.com/chamilo/docs/tree/master/1.9/en/developer.

Note that:

• you should update to 1.9.10.2 to avoid security flaws
• 1.9.10 has a way for you to create a copy of the "default" template and configure it in your configuration file (search main/install/configuration.dist.php for $_configuration['default_template']
