solved Insert extra fields in the search form..?

Hi there,

As some of you may know I´m creating a site on http://find-et-band.dk/ - it´s a danish site.

It´s beggining to look more and more like website - and that´s pretty cool

Now, as some you also might know, I would like to be able to customize the search form so that there will be more options for the search. Basically I would like the search form to look a bit like the signup form, so that peaple who are searching can search for in example a "drummer" (trommeslager in danish) in "Hedensted Kommune" (a location in Denmark).

I really don´t know how to do this, but I think it has to be kind of "linked" (or what´s it called?) with the signup forms entries..?

I have tryed to input some lines in here: /search/admin/global - but that only enables the fields to be searched - it don´t change the search form..?

I hope you can understand what it is that I would like to do

I´m looking forward to hear from someone out there...

Thanks!

Torben

Hi again,

It´s not that I´m in a hurry at all, but I would like to know if this little project is possible at all..?

I can imagine that some coding is needed to do this?

Please let me know if it´s possible to do it

Thanks alot!

Its hard to explain without building it all first then showing you, but I'll try.

/skins/YOUR-SKIN/search_form.tpl (The url for that is 'yoursite.com/search_form'.)
You first need to create the form. It will have the fields you want:
* search_xxxxxx
* search_location

You then wrap that in a form and submit it either to itself of to another location:
/skins/YOUR-SKIN/search_results.tpl

The url for that is 'yoursite.com/search_results'.

Into search_results.tpl you put a list call:

That will get you a list of what your after. the things you need to decide are where are you searching for 'drummer' and put in the correct location to search.

There's other ways to do it too like using a module to build the form and retrieve the data but that ways a bit harder to explain.

If your interested in the module way of doing things perhaps start with:

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your reply

I´ll try to do it the way you explain first. I guess I´ll be back with a question or two, but I´ll try.

Thanks..!

I have been trying to do what you told me to, but I really think this one is a bit to complicated for me. I think I need a step-by-step guide to do this by myself.

I have a friend who maybe can help me a little, but otherwise I believe I would need some expert help on this one.

Do you have any idea what the price would be if someone else should take a look at it. Do you offer that kind of support/help? I´ve been thinking about freelancer.com, but I don´t know if that´s such a good idea?

Let me know..?!

Thanks!

Everyone's price is going to be different. Everyone's skill level is different.

I do Jamroom client work/projects from here:
http://www.apicos.com/site/jamroom_developer.php

Freelancer is an option.

So is asking one of the developers from the list here:
https://www.jamroom.net/showcase/list

So is putting up a job in the Freelance Jobs section on this site.
https://www.jamroom.net/job/open

What your trying to do is not particularly hard to do, its just hard to explain how to do without having already done it.

Ok, I´ve sent you a private mail, Michael. Looking forward to hear from you

Also I would like to know how to put up a job here on https://www.jamroom.net/job/open - I can´t see where it´s possible..?

Let me know

Thanks!

Hi there,

As you can see on my site: http://find-et-band.dk/advsearch - I have had Michael working on an advanced searchform for my site. It should be done, but it´s not yet working like it should. I´m waiting for the core update because Michael told me that it is needed for the searchform to work like it should.

Please let me know when I can expect this core update to come out..?

Thanks a lot
