Hi There,
I noticed that now on WPS site in the secondary header theres a ' member directory search box' which displays the text "Looking for someone?"
I think this is a great idea, which instantly raises user awareness and lets them know what the box is for. I want to add this same functionality to my 'member directory searchbox' on the members page. Currently my box doesn't display any text, instead its blank (same way on WPS member page).
I've tried using firefox's firebug to see what source code is but still very unclear, and when I did try adding code to my current search box, I get the text question to properlly display, but it does not go away once I type inside of box (instead it adds typed text after > Looking for someone?). Here's Where I tried to add this:
- (symposium_members.php) original code on Line 97
$html .= '<input type="text" id="symposium_member" autocomplete="off" name="symposium_member" class="members_search_box" value="'.$term.'" />';
- I added: Looking for someone?
$html .= '<input type="text" id="symposium_member" autocomplete="off" name="symposium_member" class="members_search_box" value="Looking for someone?'.$term.'" />';
Like I stated above, I get text question to properly display, but doesnt go away once I begin typing inside search box. Has anybody attempted to add this to their seach box? If so Please let me know what worked for you. Thanks alot 
I know I can't be the only wps member that has tried it 
Thanks Simon...IT WORKS
I used the code that you instructed as above in symposium-plus.php (line 205-216) and added it to sympoium_members.php (line 97). I had to make some minor adjustments, and after a bit of trial and error here's what worked for me:
- symposium_members.php (line 97-102)
$prompt = ($prompt = get_option('wps_site_search_prompt')) ? $prompt : __('Looking for someone?', 'wp-symposium');
$html .= '<input type="text" id="symposium_member_small" autocomplete="off" name="symposium_member" class="members_search_box"
onblur="this.value=(this.value==\'\') ? \''.$prompt.'\' : this.value;"
onfocus="this.value=(this.value==\''.$prompt.'\') ? \'\' : this.value;"
value="'.$prompt.'"
value="'.$prompt.'" />';
My css was fine so I didn't make any changes there. I hope these changes are suitable way to give it the added functionality I was looking for. Thanks again
