Custom Template
|
Can't Post

Greetings!
Having a bit of a "brain block" on this one! Hope you can help.
http://www.portfolio-of-homes.com/cgi-bin/rm/exec/search.cgi
This is the "public" search page on this site. At the very bottom, far right you'll see a "box". This is for the owners use. He can search listings by "address", field1, and review. CANNOT give users access to listing addresses!
However, the site owner wants "his box" on a separate page, under a passworded directory.
I cannot figure out how to process that search from any other page than this public search page. I believe a custom template would help do the job, but I am completely lost as to how to code a custom template to read the db????????
Thanks,
Denise Palmer

Hi Denise,
Thanks for your post!
What I'd suggest is to create a custom search form containing new search fields (address, etc), and place it within a separate html page within his password-protected directory. So, when your client opens this page, he can search by the private fields.
Probably the best way to do this is to make a copy of your _search_query.html template, and remodel THAT to add the new fields. Then, in the original _search_query.html template, remove the "box".
I hope this is clear. Post me back for any pointers!

 So sorry Ben, but I just can't get this.
I don't need "fields". I just need a single box like what I already have at the bottom of the search listings page.
I copied that piece of the code out. Created a new html page, pasted that code in, and put this new html file in a different directory.
I keep getting errors. Here's what I have in the coded html page:
<form method=get action="$cgiurl$">
<input type="hidden" name="search" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="perpage" value="10">
<input type="hidden" name="sort_order" value="4,123,reverse">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="lfield1_keyword" size=20>
<input type="hidden" submit name="search" value="s">
which is the same as on my existing Search Listings page, and it works.
Once I move this new html file to a new directory though......it can't read from /search.cgi any longer? I tried a number of different "form method" url's....no success!?
Please help!
Denise
