HozyAli, depends what kind of modification you want to do. Either way I think if you contact any programmer they will be able to help.
Maybe you can ask the developer of the script himself?

the developer of the gallery does not help i just need to change the input type on this search page. http://www.bookstocollect.com/gallery/search.php

from checkbox to input text field.

do you have any idea ?

Maybe you can get some help from a knowledgeable member on the developer's forum?

I would start looking here if you still need help with this.

I searched that entire forum for that issue but the main developer of CPG refused to modify with some strong reasons. anyways. the issue has been escalated.

change the input type to <input type="text"> and on the page where the processing of the form is, there should be something like the following.

change that to put the value of the post directly into a variable. You might need to change more than just that if depending on the structure of your database and the way the query is written. You can PM or post your code and I can help you with it.
