Trevor.
hi there
I am trying to create a complex conditional search for a school website.
Basically, I would like someone to be able to select:
Teaching Language (English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, French)
School phase (foundation, intermediate, senior, final),
which will then show the next field (school grade),
which will then show the next field (subjects available for that grade),
and Submit button.
This will appear on the home page of the site (www.tomstutor.co.za), and on the individual phase pages. (The searches on the phase pages will be the same as the above, but from step 3).
I have custom fields as post meta for the phases, grades and teaching language, and use product category for the subjects.
I dont know how to get this to work the way I need it to, please help?
The conditionality you want (where the fields only appear after a previous filter selection are not possible with our plugin. We have something similar, where the field terms (content) change in response to prior selections.
To set this, in the General Setting tab, set Auto Count (both settings) to ON
And then in the Form UI:
In each field set Hide Empty set to ON
