Is there not any way to apply user fields with this???

I hope there is 'cause all of a persons info is situated in their account info I.e.- real name, email address, gender, birthdate, address... I mean as far as searching for an individual, these are all user fields..

Thanks for any info on this!

-Rob

You would have to modify the ranking call and templates to use "User" mode instead of "Artist" mode.

Hope this helps

I think I figured this out for the Nova skin....

My Nova skin is modified, so this isn't for the "exact" Nova, but it should get you started. This example if for the artist section:

Code

{assign var="search_string_adv" value="_searchstring"} {assign var="search_area_adv" value="_searcharea"} {assign var="search_mode_adv" value="artist"}

Code

{if isset($search_area) && is_array($search_area)}   {foreach from=$search_area key="num" item="s_area"}     {if $s_area == "band_name" && strlen($search_string.$num) > 1}       {jr_array name="_searcharea" key="0" value="band_name"}       {jr_array name="_searchstring" key="0" value=$search_string.$num}     {elseif $s_area == "band_members" && strlen($search_string.$num) > 1}       {jr_array name="_searcharea" key="1" value="band_members"}       {jr_array name="_searchstring" key="1" value=$search_string.$num}     {elseif $s_area == "band_influence" && strlen($search_string.$num) > 1}       {jr_array name="_searcharea" key="2" value="band_influence"}       {jr_array name="_searchstring" key="2" value=$search_string.$num}     {/if}   {/foreach} {/if}

Code

<form name="adv_search" method="post" onclick="var ss=document.adv_search.search_string_adv.value;sa=document.adv_search.search_area_adv.value;jrLoad('#rank','{$JAMROOM_URL}/ranking.php?mode={$search_mode_adv}&search_area='+ jrEscape(sa) +'&search_string='+ jrEscape(ss) +'&pagebreak={$smarty.config.default_pagebreak}&row_template=artists_directory_row.tpl&footer_template=no_search_results.tpl');return false;"> <input type="hidden" name="search_area[0]" value="band_name"> <div class="side_search_title">Artist Name</div> <input type="text" name="search_string[0]" class="search"> <input type="hidden" name="search_area[1]" value="band_members"> <div class="side_search_title">Members</div> <input type="text" name="search_string[1]" class="search">             <input type="hidden" name="search_area[2]" value="band_influence"> <div class="side_search_title">Influences</div> <input type="text" name="search_string[2]" class="search"> <input type="submit" value="Search" class="cart_price"> </form>

I'm having a little trouble with this search, everything seems to work fine, except the select option list from my custom form fields doesn't come up.

I have used the script exactly as described in the first post - just replacing the search area values with those on my site.

Have i missed out a step somewhere?

Can you post what the code you have so far?

Thanks

Oops - sorry I don't know how to delete posts.

So, the above is what I took from the original instructions, then trying to work with that and what i could find in the demo source, this is what i came up with for my image search:

image search .tpl

Code

<html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> </head> <body> {if isset($search_area) && is_array($search_area)}   {foreach from=$search_area key="num" item="s_area"}     {if $s_area == "image_category" && strlen($search_string.$num) > 1}       {jr_array name="_searcharea" key="0" value="image_category"}       {jr_array name="_searchstring" key="0" value=$search_string.$num}     {elseif $s_area == "image_section" && strlen($search_string.$num) > 1}       {jr_array name="_searcharea" key="1" value="image_section"}       {jr_array name="_searchstring" key="1" value=$search_string.$num}     {elseif $s_area == "image_sub_category" && strlen($search_string.$num) > 1}       {jr_array name="_searcharea" key="2" value="image_sub_category"}       {jr_array name="_searchstring" key="2" value=$search_string.$num}         {/if}   {/foreach} {/if} <table class="table" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td> <form method="post" action="{$JAMROOM_URL}/index.php"> <input type="hidden" name="template" value="advanced_search.tpl"> <table width="90%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td width="30%" align="left" valign="middle"> Image Category:</td> <td width="70%" align="left" valign="middle"> <input type="hidden" name="search_area[0]" value="image_category">  <select class="select" name="search_string[0]" style="width:200px"> </td></tr><tr> <td width="30%" align="left" valign="middle"> Image Section: </td> <td width="70%" align="left" valign="middle"> <input type="hidden" name="search_area[1]" value="image_section"> <select class="select" name="search_string[1]" style="width:200px"> </td></tr><tr> <td width="30%" align="left" valign="middle"> Image Sub Category: </td> <td width="70%" align="left" valign="middle"> <input type="hidden" name="search_area[2]" value="image_sub_category"> <select class="select" name="search_string[2]" style="width:200px"> </td></tr><tr> <td colspan="2" width="100%" align"center" valign="middle"> <input type="submit" value="Search" class="button" style="width:60px"> </td></tr></table> </form> </td></tr></table> {if isset($_searcharea) && isset($_searchstring)}  <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">   {jr_ranking mode="image" pagebreak="9" pagenum=$p footer_template="image_search_footer.tpl" search_area=$_searcharea search_string=$_searchstring}  </table> {/if} </body> </html>

This makes the search boxes dropdown select, but doesn't return the options

What URL are you using to navigate to the page?

First your ranking mode should be photo instead of image and if you've named your template image_search.tpl then the hidden input right below the beginning form tag should be image_search.tpl instead of advanced_search.tpl.

Also, your select form tags need option tags... for example:

Code

<input type="hidden" name="search_area[1]" value="image_section"> <select class="select" name="search_string[1]" style="width:200px">

should look something like:

Code

<input type="hidden" name="search_area[1]" value="image_section"> <select class="select" name="search_string[1]" style="width:200px">  <option value="value1">Value1</option>  <option value="value2">Value2</option>  <option value="value3">Value3</option>  etc... </select>

Hope this helps

Thanks Six!

I see i missed one out there.

I get it now, for some reason I assumed the script would call the file for these options saved in the config, didn't realise I needed to input them manually :S

I swear i'm brighter than this, just for some reason it's taking ages for my understanding of the jamroom setup to click, I blame years of working with joomla and elgg, wish i'd found jamroom in the first place, we would have been up and running ages ago

[Douglas]

It takes a little time to get use to working on jamroom templates and using smarty, but once you get it, you can do almost anything with it.

Glad you got it working.

Off topic but

That's a nice site.

[equinoxtrish]

Would it be possible to introduce an onselect function to this? so that, on selection of the first option, the script returns the options for the next selection?

I've found a few scripts that cover this on the net, but they seem to be standalone scripts and i'm not sure how to integrate them :S

[Douglas]

I'm sure it could possibly be done, I'd have to see the script you want to use though. I wouldn't be able to work on it right away, but maybe sometime in the near future.
