Function and Script Which Handles Input from Form Submit

Thanks Kiran,

I am talking about the GeoDirectory front end search. The function you have pointed to https://github.com/GeoDirectory/geodirectory/blob/master/geodirectory_template_tags.php#L581 submits the form upon clicking of the .geodir_submit_search.

If I do an inspect elements of the form, it seems to be submitting to the same page, i.e. https://lateopens.com.

What I am looking for is the PHP script(s) which handle the form input and provide output on the results page, i.e. the script which receives the form inputs and makes the mysql search based on the filters provided in the form input.

Thanks!

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for your response.

Can I ask, which script and function is getting results from mysql based on $where filter returned by function searching_filter_where in script listing_filters.php?

Thanks

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for your reply.

Ok understood on the sql queries.

What I am trying to achieve is to add an additional search input on the front page. The input will be a dropdown input which will allow the user to choose from all the available Place Categories e.g. Cafe, Restaurant, Bar etc.

Right now, the “Search for” input is working like a wildcard filter, i.e. using the search term, the search function filters based on Place Categories and/or Keywords contained in the place name, description etc.

With the additional ‘Category Search’ input, the output will be restricted to the Place Category specified.

Could you guide me on adding an additional search input if this is possible?

Thanks!

Hi Kiran,

The category search you showed on your demo page is what I am looking for essentially.

I am at GeoDirectory > Place Settings > Advance Search but I am unable to see any setup for categories search. Can you please guide me on this?
