Search for Listing Number Can't Post

Hello ----

Can we search for a "listing number".

Everytime I try all cars come up so not sure what is happening.

I did try putting an underscore keyword but that didn't do anything.

Any help?

Thanks.

Hi Melinda,

You bet. Take a look at this page in the docs for details on the $listing_num$ placeholder and how to use that. :)

Donna,

As a standalone query-- would it look anything like this?

<form method="get" action="http://www.sbcauto.com/cgi-bin/listman/exec/search.cgi?view=$listing_num$&template=_publish_listing.html">

<input value="$listing_number$" type="text" iname="listing_number" size="25" maxlength="25" />

<input type=submit name="search" value=" Search Listings " />

</form>



Thanks again!

Hi there,

Not quite -- the <form> tag will always only ever be the link to the search.cgi. Then you would put the rest of the query in input tags, like this:


<form method="get" action="http://www.sbcauto.com/cgi-bin/listman/exec/search.cgi">

<input type="hidden" name="template" value="_publish_listing.html">

<input value="" type="text" name="view">

<input type=submit name="search" value=" Search Listings " />

</form>

You can modify the fields a bit, but the "name" and the "value" are the important parts. Anything you want the user to be able to enter should be left blank, but make sure the "name" is the field that you're searching on. :)

In this case, you could actually leave the template field off as you're specifying the default template anyway. If you wanted to change it to something else, that's the syntax you would use (but with a different filename.)

I hope this helps!
