Using different templates with shortcodes

Anonymous

Sorry if this is a basic question, but I’m not having any luck finding the answer. I want to use filters on different pages with each page using a different template however the only thing that works for me is having the shortcode set with show=”Results”. Let’s say I want to create another template and call it “results2”, what do I have to do to make your plugin find it? Thanks.

Hi @bullduck,

The easiest way to do this is to take the ‘results.php’ template file and copy it to a new file named with the ID number of your form (for example, if your form ID is 102, then name the new template file 102.php)….it should go in a folder named /search-filter which should be in your (active) Theme folder.

Then modify that new template however you like…..S&P Pro will *automatically* use THAT template (it looks for one that matches the form ID first, before using ‘results.php’) when it displays your results.

Thanks to you both for the replies.

So, am I correct in understanding that I have to create a new form for each different template I want to use, or am I missing something?

Ah yes, you may only have 1 template per search form..
