Use a url parameter to search in ajax shortcodes

Anonymous

#11199

• We have a website with a nice looking search results page using ajax shortcodes.
• We also have a search bar that is sending the searched keyword to this page as a url parameter ?search=keyword
• We have some code that puts this keyword into the search input field

But the search itself is not triggered. In a previous version last summer it was working with $( '.sf-field-search input' ).blur(); but with the new version this is not working anymore.

¿Can you please help us to make it work again?

Thanks!

Hey Pablo

As long as the selector is correct there should be no problem – can you inspect the DOM to make sure that you are using the correct class (this *may* have been changed) – “.sf-field-search”

If this is correct, then I would suspect something else in your environment has changed, such as a JS errors on the front end.

Thanks

Well, the selector was the same. We got it working replacing blur() by this:

setTimeout( function () {
	$( '.sf-field-submit input' ).click();
}, 500);

Glad thats working for you – unfortunately I don’t think I quite understood the purpose of your code.

Thanks
