Shortcode results: don't display results until click

Anonymous

#51650

Hi – I am using a shortcode form and shortcode results on the same page (two separate columns). I am also using your template results.php file. Right now, as soon as you go to the page, it shows the form, and all entries that are available under results… then, when you click on an option in the form, it starts to actually filter the proper results.

Is it possible to have the results shortcode not actually display any results until the first option is clicked on the form? (I am also using auto submit). I would like the results area to just be blank until someone starts interacting with the search form.

I am not sure if they are of any help?

Hi

Sadly the code you posted has gotten mangled by the forum script 🙁

Before the block of code and after it needs to be a code tag. On my screen, above where I am typing this, I can see the formatting buttons (bold, italic etc) and the last but one is the code tag button. Press this once before and once after the code. You will see it actually types a ‘back tick’, if you can see the button bar that is. Otherwise, on my keyboard, the symbols button to the left of the 1 key also types the same back tick.

Can you re-post the results.php code?

Hi

I found two errors (one was ours, one yours), so here is the fixed code (I do not know if this will work):

<?php
/**
 * Search & Filter Pro
 *
 * Sample Results Template
 *
 * @package   Search_Filter
 * @author    Ross Morsali
 * @link      http://www.designsandcode.com/
 * @copyright 2015 Designs & Code
 *
 * Note: these templates are not full page templates, rather
 * just an encaspulation of the your results loop which should
 * be inserted in to other pages by using a shortcode - think
 * of it as a template part
 *
 * This template is an absolute base example showing you what
 * you can do, for more customisation see the WordPress docs
 * and using template tags -

Try changing this:

if ( $query->have_posts() ) {

to this:

if ( !$query->have_posts() ) {

Maybe?
