Kolimarfey's Zip Code Search

Now this is a fun toy, however it has a major issue with it that I have asked in the past for help on and none has been forthcoming.  Actually, can't even get this dang thing to work like a site member would expect it to.

If we install it exactly as the mod creator (Kolimarfey) has designed it to be installed, then it works fine.  However, even though we dump a ton of code into the search.php page we get nothing on the search page itself, only on the search results page.

Now, I've attempted adding the functionality in, adjusting settings within search.php and oh so many other little tricks, but in the end, it just screws up the search page.  The closest I got was in getting the mile boxes to appear and man where they even literally screwed up on placement.

So, I'm putting this out there.  The Country Zip Code Search should be an item that is integrated into the Search page, NOT the home page, I have asked privately for this a couple of times with no answers from the mod creator, how in the hell do we get this thing to resolve properly as part of the search page?  Meaning, the Zip Code block should have all the pre-requisite items on the Search.php page for this to work, whether it's in D6 or D7. 

Issue dealt with.

padding-top:24px;
position:relative;
}

We tried to do this the hard way for months, in the end it was just a matter of strippin' the inner html out of Firebug and dropping it in.  If you have a simpler way, then please feel free to toss it in here.

Please do not modify manually search page. All is needed is to drag standard 'Location' and 'Country' block to desired search page and it will work.

Predefined zipcodes search form on homepage is for additional functionality, for the case if you want to leave standard quick search and have location search on homepage too. And to get it work immediately without moving any fields in fields builder.

We tried that, dragging the Location & Country blocks to the desired area on the search page.  It still will not give us the mileage search functionality that your mod is supposed to give.  I understand you have it set to input it into the home page, but that's not where most people want it at.  I've asked before privately to get this into the search page, back when I first purchased your mod and that's been ignored.

So, if you have a better way of getting this functionality into the search page where it belongs, then I'd love to hear it Kolimarfey.  And so your aware, we don't want this on the home page, we want it on the search page where it belongs.  This is a zip code radius search tool, why can't we use it on the home page to do  just that?

I use the mod on the search page without problem.  Once the mod was installed I was able to leave the default boonex search options in so users can specify their own radius.  Now the only issue I did figure out was that you have to keep country, search radius/zip in the same search box or it will not work.
