Search Bar Placeholder

Hi @skyline521,

Sorry, this particular documentation is outdated. Currently you can control the placeholders from the Directory Builder. Please refer to this: https://directorist.com/documentation/directorist/form-and-layout-builder/search-form-layout/

Thank you so much @m4hd1bd!

I had the same problem. I spent about two hours trying to figure this one out, I must admit, I am a bit slow with these sorts of problems though.

However, I am finding as I go through the building of a directory website with Directorist Pro, that although the documentation initially seems good, it actually has not been updated for a very long time.

I judge this as a key credibility and trustworthy factor. If they are not looking after their documentation, then they are getting lazy and eventually their product deteriorates.

Hi @58cwd59,

We have already updated parts of our documentation. We still need to update much of it, especially with the parts with the Settings Panel, we’ll also be doing it soon.

It′s possible to change the colour of the placeholder text in the search fields? Standard is grey, but i want it black. How can i change this?

Thank you for ideas.

Hello @sascha2106 !

You can use the following CSS,

.select2-container–default
.select2-selection–single
.select2-selection__placeholder {
color: black !important;
}

.directorist-form-element::placeholder {
color: black !important;
}

Kind Regards.

Hello @rashed848

Thank you very much for this solution, it works great!

Please allow me one question more, because i am a beginner in CSS. It′s also possible, to make a border around the different search fields? So a border around type in-search, a border around your lacation, radius search, more search fields?

Thank you very much

Hello @sascha2106 !

Yes, this is possible. You need to select the class and the add the border. Let me know if you need any help on that. I need the search page link to provide you with the code.

Kind Regards.
