Search 1field automatic filled in Can't Post
Hi,

Is it possible to add a search result automatically to a search,

ie,



If i want people to search for properties in florida, when they click on search it will add lfield=florida without my users having to select florida,

I hope that makes sense,

Thanks Darren

Hi Darren,

I'm not quite following what you're looking for -- where would your users be clicking to get the automatic search?

Hi Donna,

Apologies for my first post, I just read it back and it didn’t make too much sense.

Basically what I want to do is use the same search box for the different area my properties are in, however in each of the area only that area can be search.

For example,

I have a search box on the right hand side of my ‘africa’ page http://www.govillarentals.co.uk/africa.php

I have a field set up for location, which as can be seen on that page I have as a drop down. However because the visitors to this page will only be wanting to search for properties on Africa, instead of making them use the drop down, I want to include ‘africa’ automatically when somebody clicks on search listings.

I hope that makes more sense,

Darren

Hi Darren,

Aha! I see what you're looking for.

You bet. You can add a hidden field instead. So, instead of your select tag, replace it with this:

<input type="hidden" name="lfield12_keyword" value="africa">

Give that a try and let me know if you have any trouble. :)

One other option, if you'd like your users to be able to change the search field as well, is to set one particular field as the default. You can do this like this:

<select name="lfield12_keyword">
<option value="">All Listings</option>
<option SELECTED>Africa</option>
<option>Asia</option>
<option>Caribbean</option>
<option>Central America</option>
<option>Europe</option>
<option>Middle East</option>
<option>North America</option>
<option>Oceania</option>
<option>South America</option>
</select>

I hope this helps. :)
