How to override the LiveSearch html?

[wybrand]

Hello.

I want to set LiveSearch.templateString by defining a custom searchbox (see the code below).

But LiveSearch.templateString is not a member of  the SearchBox class. It is defined as a separate class, when creating SearchBox (see https://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/aikau-jsdoc/SearchBox.js.html).

Is there a way to set templateString of LIveSearch using an override of SearchBox??

Greetings,

Wybrand.

define(["dojo/_base/declare",
        "dojo/text!./templates/my-livesearch.html",
        "alfresco/header/SearchBox"],
       function (declare, template, SearchBox) {
         return declare([SearchBox],{
           postMixInProperties: function my_searchBox__postMixInProperties(){

             // How to set LiveSearch.templateString since this is not a member of SearchBox?? 

           }
         });
       });

Due to nesting, there is no way to set the templateString in LiveSearch. But you could override the postCreate of SearchBox to customise the nested LiveSearch widget after its creating - that is what I did in a project a few years ago.

Great idea. It worked.
