display $username$ in search result page? Can't Post
When selecting "View Listings" from the home page index, I would like to display the username that was searched on. I tried using $username$ in the _search_results.html page, but it is empty. Is there a way to populate this field based on the search selection?

Hi,

Thanks for posting!

By default when you click the "View My Listings" link the search is based off of that user's ID number rather than name so there aren't any specific user details that you can output on this page.

There may be a way to do this with some JavaScript by passing the user's name as part of the URL and then parsing it out on the search results template. I don't have anything available now that will do this but if you're up for trying it out I'll work on putting something together for you to try. Otherwise you may want to get in touch with our consulting team as they should be able to provide you with a solution that will work pretty quickly.

Let me know how this sounds! Smile

I just found a post that showed how to set a unique search result page. This will work for me for now, but if you have a better way, that would be great. This way means I need a unique search result page per category which is not ideal:

<a href="$search_url$?user_num=$user_num$&search=1&template=_search_results_$user_num$.html">View Listings</a><br>

Hi there,

Yep, that would be the best way to do it. :)
