Help replicating your demo

I have a client who has just asked me to replicate their competition’s search engine which can be found on this link:

http://peninsulapackaging.com/products/

Look familiar? It is essentially, precisely your demo page. I am new to your product and I have gone through the documentation thoroughly, however and see I have a lot more studying to do. I realize I may be asking too much, but I was wondering if you could to give my a leg up in the form of some guidelines? Perhaps a check list of steps.

I have been experimenting with varying results. I thought I would at least ask for guidance before I go into development purgatory.

I would appreciate whatever you can do for me.

Thank you in advance.

I would just refer you to the docs as I hope they explain things pretty well:

hi Scott,

I’m curious how you got the search form to show on the products page widgets column, but something else on the Contact us page?

Thanks

Hi Ross,

I followed the denouements with success. I guess I was over-thinking the process. However, there is one piece where I would like clarification — the slide. It is clearly a Post Meta. I see the Range option in the plugin. Do I need to create custom meta boxes much in the way I created custom taxonomies? I assume it would be 2 — one for the start size and one for the ending size.

Thank you.

Hi Scott

Yes the range sliders are post meta/custom fields – used for numeric / decimal data.

Depends on your setup, you can either use one field or two seperate for start / end – then you would have to choose the appropriate match mode.

Creating this is briefly covered in one of hte links I sent above.

You should make sure the values for the fields are numeric, or at least appear numeric – S&F will cast these accordingly.

Thanks
