include city and region for sorting/searh

Hi YC,

Do you want a dropdown in the main search form? If so you would have to add a select input and input all the city/region names exactly and a user could then select from the dropdown, and in the add listing we could hide the input and just add a snipped of php to save the region or city value on save.
If however you just want a autocompleate then the Near autocompleate in advanced search would do what you are after.

Please explain more your needs.

Thanks,

You want to mix the regions and cities together in one dropdown?
If you create the dropedown/s then i will give you the code to update the value on the fly when the post is saved.

The adding to the search form is done via drag/drop.

Thanks,

You would need to make the actual custom fields selects not texts and fill in all the possible options, then the advanced search should work like how you want and then i can add the code to update that value on save.

I am still not sure that is the best way to do things as a user could select a region and then a non related city… but here is the code to update the values on post save

add_action('geodir_after_save_listing','_my_custom_fields_update_on_save',10,2);
function _my_custom_fields_update_on_save($post_id,$postinfo_array){

	geodir_save_post_meta($post_id, 'geodir_mrt_station_ss', $postinfo_array['post_city']);
	geodir_save_post_meta($post_id, 'geodir_mrt_line_ss', $postinfo_array['post_region']);

}

Thanks,

Hi YC,

I am helping you with code example on how to use our hooks/filters but we don’t do custom work and we can’t build your custom search form for you, if you don’t have the skills to do this then you will need to hire a developer to do this for you.

Hi YC,

I used the wrong hook, i have updated the code now, i have tested it on my site and it now works.

Thanks,
