Can this plugin be used to have an interactive search on the home page…?

Hi Ross,

What I was really hoping to get out of this plugin was an interactive search box using different taxonomies on the home page, with a button that would take you to a new page for results.

I have bought the developer license, which now looks like a mistake. Although the search works fine as a basic form, it is apparently not querying the database using AJAX to refine the drop down taxonomies.

Is this functionality currently not included?

Hey Melissa, do you mean like in the demos?

The fields should of course be filtering results – do you have a link I could look at?

Thanks

Hey Melissa

I’m doing an update this week to the plugin which solves this problem I think.

Also, those login details didn’t work for me (well, I was getting redirected from dev site to live site)

Thanks

Hey Melissa

Just mailed you the dev version.

There is a new field when using with ajax & shortcode, called “results URL” – basically, when the form is on your homepage, but you are showing results on another page, then you must put the full URL in the results URL box of your results.

So a search from your homepage will redirect to this page, with the submitted search criteria, and then display results. Any further searches performed on the results page will be done via ajax

Let me know how it goes and if you find any bugs!

Thanks
