Thread: Need City Selection dropdown

Just create several custom fields and select them on the form as advanced search filed. That is all. Custom fields are checkbooks/dropdown /list.

However, in reality, it doesn't work. When you select 2-3 criteria always show the result nothing despite there are data.

I have raised this issue few days ago and nobody bothers to answer this.

Does anybody has the full code?

I've done it on my site, using Rubencio's mod of the Custom Fields Search plugin, and a little CSS to get it looking like the original search bar. My site is not ready for poublic consumption, but I can PM you the URL and show you the process and the CSS I used if it looks OK to you.

Hey, it will be excellent if you can share the CSS to other users
Best of luck in your project!

Will do.

Might be a couple of days until I can do that but will post it as soon as I can.

Nice to hear… take your time
And thanks in advance!

I would like the search to have city and state only and when they search it will take them back to a main/home page with just the items in their city/state. The same setup as craigslist. Can you do this?

Sorry for the delay. My wife had a baby so web stuff takes second place.
Here's an image of my top nav menu and search bar.

This uses Rubencio's plugin with some modified CSS.

I added the following into searchforms.css (one of the files in the plugin):

div.TextField, div.DropDownField {
float: left;
margin-left: 15px;
}
.searchform-labels {
display: inline-block;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 2.4em;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0 0.7em;
white-space: nowrap;
width: 100%;

}
#total_value {
width: 40px;
float:left;
margin-top: 8px;
}

#custom_search_form {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1140px;
}
.searchform-controls input {
float: left;
margin-left: -60px;
}

Although not ideal code, the homepage search looks good, but other pages it doesnt display that well.

Anyone care to add something I missed?

I also forgot to mention that I just changed the title of City to Suburb, but essentially its the same field.

Thanks a lot for sharing!
