Question

Hi! My new installation of Kino search works OK in my TWiki pattern skin web, but our Main web is set to use NatSkin. So when I try to put a Kino search form in my Main web, and execute a search I get the error: TWiki Installation Error Incorrect format of kinosearch.tmpl (missing %SPLIT% parts) I did some search in my templates folder and did not find any kinosearch.nat.tmpl. I suppose that it uses search.nat.tmpl for this and that this is the reason for the SPLIT error.

How can I create a working Kinosearch template for Nat Skin? Is there anyone that have an idea?

I did a (novice) try, by copying the kinosearch.pattern.tmpl to kinosearch.nat.tmpl, but that ruins my Nat look. Then did it the other way, copy search.nat.tmpl to kinosearch.nat.tmpl and modified it to use kinosearch script form. But then again I got the SPLIT error (Somehow the SPLIT count gets wrong using search.nat.tmpl).

Appreciate any feedback.

Unfortunatly the kinosearch.pattern.tmpl is not the best starting template, but you will have to copy this over to kinosearch.nat.tmpl and spend some time trying to change the template/css to make it look how you want. I did something slimilar to this yesterday to match the search with our internal skin and its not too dificult but can take some time. You can try asking on NatSkinDev to see if anyone else has done this already or if the author is willing to make one that can be distributed with the NatSkin or SearchEngineKinoSearchAddOn.

In case you try to do this yourself you might want to look at:

• TWikiSkins
• TWikiTemplates
