    Hello, I need an information: I see that URL Search Results is like https://sitename.ext/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=&set_location_type=3&set_location_val=20&sgd_placecategory%5B%5D=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=
    I have to know if is possible to add a SET_LOCATION_VAL in a dynamic way, with a variable for example.
    Thanks to all.

    That value is set for location searches where an exact location is known, one that is already in the location manager database.

    So, it IS ALREADY set with a dynamic value by the search Near field.

    Can you explain your case?

    It is possible to intercept the query URL, or simply create your own. You could, for example, get the IDs from the Locations of each city and add a link to each.

    I’m trying to set “Sort By” in Search Results via customizing code, so I try with URL datas because I see that change only one value: SET_LOCATION_VAL.

    Changing that value will change which location is searched. If the value is set, then only listings in the corresponding location will be search.

    I think something like this:
    https://sitename.ext/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=&set_location_type=3&set_location_val=LOCATION_ID_DYNAMIC_VARIABLE&sgd_placecategory%5B%5D=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=
    It could works?

    Are you just trying to pass a variable to the search page?

    Yes, and the variable I’d like to pass is the city ID.
    Is possible to do this?

    It is already passed in the URL.
    city=maple-shade-township (v2)
    set_location_val=1 (v1)

    Ok but if I want to pass that value dynamically is possible to get the “near by” ID value?

    What is the ‘near by’ id value? Do you mean the city?
    It is almost always possible with PHP to get the URL and ‘do something’ with it.

    Exactly, I’d like to pass the city dynamically in URL.
    How can I set this?

    You will need to create custom code for that, if you want to do something with the way the current location is passed or add your own information to the query.

    It is already passed in the URL.
    city=maple-shade-township (v2)
    set_location_val=1 (v1)

    You could, for example, get the IDs from the Locations of each city and add a link to each.

    Find the ID by checking the URL when you hover over the edit link in the settings at:

    GeoDIrectory – Settings – Locations (Multilocations) – Manage locations
