Separate Pages for each category

Hello,

I’m curious if the following is possible:

Here it is:

I have a search set up which shows the 50 U.S. States as results. When someone clicks on a state I need this to take them to that states particular page. Is this possible with this plugin? I have the PRO version.

Thanks for your time and help!

Hey Brandon

Sure, I think you just need to use the permalink function in your results template:

Hey Ross thanks for getting back to me. Can you give me an example of how this could look in the results template?

Thanks!

There are examples at the link which you can add to your results template, inside the The Loop.

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">permalink</a>

Thanks

Sorry for all the questions, but how am I able to tell the search plugin to go to the specific page?

Ohhh sorry I think I misunderstood,

So what you are asking is, when a user presses a search they get redirected to a specific page, instead of showing search results?

Exactly! Is this possible? Would be awesome if so – So it would work almost like a dropdown menu in a way

This is something I’ve not thought about – its not supported, but if you’re comfortable using jQuery you might be able to hack it,

If you hook in to the submit you could add some custom logic to do stuff, like redirect instead of submitting the form

$('.searchandfilter').submit(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    
    //do stuff
});

But I’ve not tried that so you are entering new territory!

Thanks

Dang – okay I’m not that good at coding – Thank you for helping me out – where would I put this code? and what would be the code to make this work?

Sorrrrrrry!

Hey Brandon

This is not really a solution, but a point in the (possibly) right direction.

If you are not sure where to place this then I think its safe to say it would be some trouble to code the logic for the rest..

At this point you’d need to get someone to write some code for your customisations but its a little out of scope of support here.

Thanks
