Can someone please explain how to extend the SearchForm class.
My aim is to modify the default text and button text initially, but will probably extend to more changes later.
I have located the function in this file " \saphire\search\ContentControllerExtension.php"
The easy thing to do would be to make the changes in this file. But messing with the core files is not ideal of course.
I have tried extending the Searchform.php class as follows:
Create new class "SiteSearch.php" in mycode
class SiteSearch extends SearchForm {
function __construct($controller,$name){
parent::__construct($controller,$name);
}
}Putting $SiteSearch in my template and I get the default form rendering OK. But I get the error below.
Any help would be much appreciated.
