Thread: ClassiPress ADVANCED SEARCH here !!!!

Hello,
I can confirm too, that this advanced search is great plugin and it work perfectly with installed possibilities. I am very happy with it, until now I didn't noticed any functional bug. Very good job Rubencio.

I would like to give 2 suggestion for upgrades:
1.) Add checkbox type to widgets, where users can select more then one option (as an example on your demo page CLASSIPRO :: CHILDTHEMES, PLUGINS & SERVICES FOR CLASSIPRESS with checkbox list I could list ads from NEW YORK and DENVER . Temporarily, with radial buttons or dropdown menu - only one city can be selected. With city this is not too big problem, but in example below (car specification) - yes.)

2.) It works fine, but not logical with CHECK BOX type of Custom fields.
An example, for cars I have checkbox custom field for specifications: AIR BAG, ABS, ASR, ALARM, CHILD LOCK, AIR CONDITIONER, AUTOMATIC.. etc.
Advertiser can select more then one specification for his car, for example ABS,CHILD LOCK
The other advertiser select: ABS,ALARM,CHILD LOCK
Third advertiser select: ABS
4th advertiser: ABS,ALARM

(LIST 1) And this is what will be visible in list now:
ABS,CHILD LOCK
ABS,ALARM,CHILD LOCK
ABS
ABS,ALARM
This list above can be veeery long because lot of combinations - if we have many ads.

(LIST 2) More logical list would be something like this (checkbox list) and then visitor can chose specification of the car he is looking for:
ABS
ALARM
ASR
CHILD LOCK

My advice is if custom field is checkbox type, then pick the values for the list from custom field values (defined when admin create a custom field) and not from ads. I know - in this case we may have specifications where none of ads have that specification.
OR BETTER SOLUTION: explode (explode by comma in my example) all values from (LIST 1) and add exploded values to (LIST 2) (of course, add only if the value is not IN_ARRAY yet).

I hope I explained clearly my ideas... if not, and you are interested, feel free to contact me.

If this upgrade will be done, then this advanced search will be perfect, and I don't need this Apptheme advanced search at all (for Radius location search doesn't work anyway.. I like simplier but functional solutions, and Rubencio's advanced search is that one). Absolutely recommended!

Thanks for reading, more thanks for thinking about this, and much more thanks if it will be realized too

@gaspar
Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Since this is somehow a very new plugin, we are still working on it. Actually we are taking part in the checkbox feature
Keep in contact since there's a new update soon.

Regards,

hey, rubencio. do you have a website where i can check all the plugins you have created or at least a list of modifications you have made?

Ordered!!!! I especially like that you can create a Advance Search in a page, just what I was looking for!

Thank you for buying the plugin!
This afternoon (Spain time) the plugin will be updated so check the changelog and when you see the update simply download the new updated version.
Best regards,

Does it update from the dashboard or do we receive a email with the updated version or what?

Actually I'm preparing the new files and instructions so to have your updated copy simply use the link you received when you bought the plugin to download the last version... the same link works for the last updated version.
Please be patient, download your version only when you see the new one it is ready there in the CHANGELOG.
Best regards,

Last plugin version ready
BUY IT HERE <--

If you already bought the plugin simply use the link provided to download the last 0.4 version
Enjoy it!

Rubencio, is it possible to put your 50% off promo code again? I was gonna buy yesterday and now i come back it went to 25. Just one day late for me haha

I accidentally deleted the email I got after I ordered (facebook mail sucks), but luckily I found the link by searching my browser history.
