Place Search Form on Static WordPress Page

Hi Paolo,

Thanks for your reply.

Thinking about it, if I have an html form on a page, could I not submit the field values (including the city name) to an intermediary php page that runs a sql query to get the longitude and latitude from the geodir_post_locations table and then redirect to a url with those values appended to the url?

This would mean I should be able to easily construct the following:

?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_accommodation
&s=guesthouse&snear=cashel
&sgeo_lat=52.516757&
sgeo_lon=-7.887674699999934

I’m not asking for assistance in putting this solution together, just wondering if in theory this should work? I can create the query and forwarding code etc myself.

Many thanks

Mike

Cool, thanks I will try that. It’s one of those cases where once you think through what you are trying to do to explain to someone, a simple solution becomes obvious.

Also, I wasn’t sure if just passing the correct url parameters would be sufficient but as you say, amending the search results url returns expected results so no reason it shouldn’t work 🙂

Thanks again.

Mike

Hi Again,

When generating the url to display the listing results. Is there a param that I can put in the query string that will show a certain layout by default? When the page loads it is in list view but would like it to be in the grid three format. Is there anything I can add to the below to do this?

?geodir_search=5
&stype=gd_accommodation&s=hotels
&snear=cashel
&sgeo_lat=52.516757
&sgeo_lon=-7.887674699999934
