Add Category Drop Down To Common/search.tpl 4.1.5 ?

[cartbooster]

Upgrading a store from 2.2.5 to 4.1.5



We have searchanise enabled,



But would still like the option to have the drop down list on the frontpage,



Is this possible? even if it only works when enter pressed?



ie - even if searchanise ignores it?



Thank

In the advanced search you can find the following code:




{* dont delete this div. its really needed! *}
{assign var="all_categories" value=0|fn_get_plain_categories_tree:false}

- {__("all_categories")} -
{foreach from=$all_categories item="cat"}
{$cat.category|escape|truncate:50:"...":true|indent:$cat.level:"¦    ":"¦-- " nofilter}
{/foreach}








Try to use it. It should show a selectbox with the list of categories
