Article: Updating Custom Toolbars for 6.1

How to remove search engines from toolbar.

Step 1.  Find the dropdown that has the search engines, like below

     <pw:ToolbarDropDownList HorizontalAlign="Right" ID="m_SearchEngines" runat="server" TabIndex="6" />

Take a note of the ID, in this case “m_SearchEngines.”  Then make the element not visible by adding Visible=”false” to the element.

Step 2.   Find all instances of that ID in the toolbar scripts.  Remove them, leaving valid code.  For instance, you might find something like:

    var newUrl = '<%= ResolveUrl("~/PortalSearchResults.aspx") %>?q=' + document.getElementById('<%=m_SearchQuery.ClientID %>').value + '&searchoptions=' + document.getElementById('<%=m_SearchEngines.ClientID %>').options[document.getElementById('<%=m_SearchEngines.ClientID %>').selectedIndex].value;

After removing all instances of m_SearchEngines, you would be left with

    var newUrl = '<%= ResolveUrl("~/PortalSearchResults.aspx") %>?q=' + document.getElementById('<%=m_SearchQuery.ClientID %>').value; 

Similarly, the following code

void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

        if (!Page.IsPostBack)

        {

            try

            {

                SignOutAction.Text = "false";

                if (PWSettings.CloseBrowserOnSignOut)

                {

                    SignOutAction.Text = "true";

                }            

 System.Collections.Generic.List<Passageways.Search.SearchItem> searchItems = new System.Collections.Generic.List<Passageways.Search.SearchItem>();

                foreach (PWModule module in PWModule.Get())

                {

                    foreach (SearchItem searchItem in module.SearchItems)

                    {

                        if (searchItem.Visible)

                        {

                                int index = searchItems.BinarySearch(searchItem, new Comparer());                                                        if(index < 0)

                                                                {

                                                                                index = ~index;

                                                                }

                                                                searchItems.Insert(index, searchItem);                                 

                                                                ListItem engineOption = new ListItem();

                                                                engineOption.Text = searchItem.Title;

                                                                engineOption.Value = Server.UrlEncode(module.ID + "/" + searchItem.FileName);

                                                                engines.Items.Insert(index, engineOption);

                                                }

                    }

                }

                ListItem allItem = new ListItem();

                allItem.Text = "All Portal Resources";

                allItem.Value = "all";

                engines.Items.Insert(0, allItem);

            }

            catch (Exception exc)

            {

                PWLog.LogEvent("Error loading Custom Toolbar.", exc);

            }

        }

    }

 

Would become

void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

        if (!Page.IsPostBack)

        {

            try

            {

                SignOutAction.Text = "false";

 

                if (PWSettings.CloseBrowserOnSignOut)

                {

                    SignOutAction.Text = "true";

                }

            }

            catch (Exception exc)

            {

                PWLog.LogEvent("Error loading Custom Toolbar.", exc);

            }

        }

   }
