Hi, All.

Can anyone tell me if there's an easy way to hide the default listings that are showing up under the search field on this page, please? http://mdldoorsystems.com/dealer.php

Thanks!

Hi, Clare.

Sorry, I don't know how to do this. Line 245 is

<?php foreach ($dealersRecords as $record): ?>

so what should I add, please?

Thanks.

Okay, it should look like this:

<?php if(@$_REQUEST['maxDistance'] != "") : ?>
<?php foreach ($dealersRecords as $record): ?>

.....


<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Obviously just add the usual stuff in the foreach loop there.

Hi, Clare.

I tried this code, and while it hides the default list of every record, it also doesn't show any results when I run a search. http://mdldoorsystems.com/dealer-interactive.php Any idea where I'm going wrong, please?

<?php if(@$_REQUEST['maxDistance'] != "") : ?>
<?php foreach ($dealersRecords as $record): ?>
<td>

<TABLE WIDTH="100" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ID="Product">
<TR>
<TD><P><a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $record['title'] ?> &raquo; </A><BR>
<?php echo $record['city'] ?>, <?php echo $record['province'] ?>, <?php echo $record['postcode'] ?></P>
<?php if (@$record['_distance']): ?>
<p>Distance: <?php echo round($record['_distance'],1) ?> KM</P>
<?php endif ?>
</TD>
<TD>&nbsp;</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><IMG SRC="images/single-pixel.gif" WIDTH="369" HEIGHT="1"></TD>
<TD><IMG SRC="images/single-pixel.gif" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="1"></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

</td>
<?php $maxCols=2; if (@++$count % $maxCols == 0): ?>
</tr>
<tr>
<?php endif ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Looks like a different variable name - just change this line:

<?php if(@$_REQUEST['maxDistance'] != "") : ?>

to

<?php if(@$_REQUEST['distance'] != "") : ?>

This code checks to see if the distance dropdown has been selected, and it'll only show the results then. But the variable name needs to match what it's called in the dropdown.

Aah, thank you!

Hi, Claire.

There's a drop down menu where people can choose the distance from the location they've typed in; i.e. 10, 50 or 100km. Is there a way of excluding any results that exceed the chosen distance? So if they choose, say, 10km, nothing further than that is shown?

Thanks.

Yeah - probably the easiest way is to check the dealer records inside the loop, and add a continue statement if the record's distance is higher than the chosen distance so that it skips those before outputting anything.
