Hello! The search does by default just search the "listing titles" right? I would like to also search though custom fields, is that somehow possible??
Hello, Custom fields are user defined. So not possible to search on the bases of custom fields. Theme search work for Listing title, Description, Category, Tags and Address. Thanks & Regards Nitesh Raghuwanshi
so couldn't i code something for doing that? or maybe have the description split up in different sections? I am using the template to create a platform where users can buy and sell books, and i would need to have an option where buyers can also search other details of the books than just the description (e.g. author, version, etc.)
Hello, If you are adding listings by yourself then you can include author, version detail in the description. Which can be searched by existing search. Or You can customize theme search from "searchform.php" file. Thanks & Regards Nitesh Raghuwanshi
okay so if i open the searchform.php i get the following: <form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url('/'); ?>" > <div> <input onfocus="if (this.value == '<?php echo SRCH; ?>') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = '<?php echo SRCH; ?>';}" value="<?php echo SRCH; ?>" type="text" value="" name="s" id="searchtxt" /> <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="<?php echo SRCH; ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="<?php echo POST_TYPE; ?>" /> </div> </form> but how and where can i integrate the function that the search should also search in the custom fields, whats the variable for that?
To change or customize searching functionality you can call a free lancer. It's a time consuming process. Not possible for us to provide support upto that extent. Thanks & Regards Nitesh Raghuwanshi
Hello, Sorry but we don't provide such facility. You can hire a freelancer for it. Thanks & Regards Nitesh Raghuwanshi
okay thats a pity, so i talked to a freelancer and he told me that he needs the file, where the query for the database is done and the database structure! could u tell me that, or do you probably even have information on the structure where the searching process is implemented in the geocraft files?
okay i had a look at it with a freelancer and he suggested to use plugins like "Custom Field Search" (http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-fields-search/) do you know if that will work with this template?
