Advanced search location as dropdown

Hi Ann,

There isn’t a setting to switch that to a dropdown.

There is another feature called the Location Switcher that does work like that.

Hi Ann,

if you have a limited number of locations, a work around could be:

1 Create a select custom field called “searchlocation” (or whatever you like), add your locations as options and don’t make it appear anywhere in front end.
2 Hide it with CSS in the add listing form too.
3 Manually edit 1 listing.
4 Export current listings via CSV, edit them to add the location to our custom field and re-import to edit them
5 Write a wee jQuery script for the add listing form to populate that field copying the location from the city field.
6 use that Custom Field as a select option in the advance search filters.

This should be simpler and more effective that editing php files.

Let us know how it goes,

Thanks
