How to Add a Field to a Form?

For example, you want to add a keyword search to a Quick Search form.

1.Go to Admin Panel -> Site Layout -> Module templates -> edit “Classifieds Engine” -> edit “quick_search.tpl”
2.Add the following lines to where you want to locate this field :

<tr><td align="right">[[FormFieldCaptions!Keywords]]

      </td>

      <td>{search property=keywords}

      </td>

</tr>

“FormFieldCaptions” is the domain (i.e. group of phrases) where “Keywords” belongs to. Square brackets ‘[[‘ and ‘]]’ are opening and closing tags for a phrase that will be translated.
