Buttons that search by date range

Anonymous

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to do this… my site page is the following:

http://sedetucuman.com.ar/calendario-congresos-convenciones/

Sorry, it´s in spanish… But basically I have 12 buttons that each link to a month result page… So “noviembre” links you to a page result of a previous search made with custom field date range from nov. 1 to nov. 30… copy and paste that link to the button…

What I am trying to do is have that query made in the button so that when I click the button, the results show on a bottom container ajax still… and maybe have that button change to an active color so signal that the results are based on that button that was clicked.

Thanks.

Hey Marina

Nice, I like what you’ve done 🙂

There is no inherent way to do this, its going to be some custom work,

What you will need to do is, have your search form on the page, but hidden with CSS – it must be present in order to update the results.

Then on the same page you would have the results.

You can then create buttons, that when clicked, update the date fields on the search form and then submit the search form – $('.searchandfilter').submit()

Its not too difficult, but you’d need to be comfortable with jQuery to implement something like this.

Thanks
