by ridgey28·8 years ago
Thanks for such a useful plugin. I have customised the plugin to search for searchform.php and fallback to other forms if not found. I would like to share the code for possible inclusion in the next release if you are interested. Please get in touch if so.
Thanks again

Changelog
v1.6.0: Hidden Inputs and a few minor bug fixes
- Fixed a bug with the update system (nothing to be concerned about as it has still never used).
- Introduced friendlier error and warning messages for those using unsupported PHP & WP.
- Introduced new action hook “bop_nav_search_hidden_inputs” to easily allow the addition of extra filters to the search box.
- Introduced new action hook “bop_nav_search_pre_get_search_form” to do more or less the same job as “pre_get_search_form” but for this plugin only.
