Sorry Guust.. forgot to be specific above in that i really do not want the text ‘search for’ field or the ‘near’ field in my search form. I have a nasty suspicion you are going to tell me that I have to have at least the first of these, but I really just want the user searching by CPT / category / custom field specifications…
please can you let me know what is and what is not possible and how to make it happen ?!
Hi Guust,
OK. Shame about the multiple countries, but I guess its not the end of the world. What your really saying I guess is that the user has to use the map to fine tune their search to multiple contiguous countries…
However, I still need to understand how I can customise the search widget. Currently my search form appears offering (1) a dropdown of CPTs (2) a text search field and (3) the ‘near’ field before the SEARCH button, and then a ‘cutomise my search’ button after the SEARCH button.
I would like to be able to offer (1) a dropdown of CPTs (2) a dropdown of categories that responds to (1), and (3) the ability to add in some of the custom fields that respond to the CPT… all before the search button.
I am really sorry to be so stupid. I am sure that customising the search widget is is a very basic request, but I simply can not find out where and how to do this and to make the customisations I am looking for.
Thanks in advance for your help once again!
Hi Guust,
Thanks so much for the speedy response.I think the locations switcher is the answer to my problem, but as I understand how it works out of the box, the ‘change location’ option (1) appears in the top menu, (2) allows the selection of only a single ‘country’ or a single ‘region’ within a country and (3) repopulates the map immediately in response to each selection.
I would prefer a set-up where (1) the specification of location occurs as part of the search form and not in the top menu, (2) the user can select multiple locations and (3) the repopulation of the map waits until the user is finished specifying what they are looking for.
For example, if a user is looking for a seaside hotel (category) in Spain or Portugal, can i set up the search form so that they are able to specify these criteria and then endure only a single wait for map repopulation / search results ?
Thanks so much once again for your help!
