In the community toolbar module of the template is a standard search field. It works only for searching within Jomsocial component. Lot of users are thinking they can search blogs (easyblog) etc. How to set up that you can search site wide content?

Hi, Pedro.

I'm sorry but this will be not easy to do... you'll need to implement Joomla! search into JomSocial Toolbar for Socialize module.
In other words you'll need to rebuild our module.
I recommend to hire a professional developer to achieve this:

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

Ok, maybe it is wise for me to change the word 'search' in 'search members'. It will be more clear that this field is for this purpose. In which language string can I change this?

Thanks

Hi, Pedro.

It seems that "Search" word is a fixed (hardcoded) placeholder in: ROOT/modules/mod_community_toolbar/tmpl/default.php
So you need to do a override by copying that file to:

ROOT/templates/your-template/html/mod_community_toolbar (if you don't have any of those folders, feel free to create them)

And change this word in line 60.
