Hi,

I’m working on a travel site. Every trip has type and a country. I’d like to search in the trips via dropdwons of the possible listitems of those 2 lists. How should I do that?

For example, give me all exclusive trips to the Bahama’s.

Have you considered using dynamic parameters?

Hi Ingmar,

I’m trying this code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="fotos_front" limit="1" orderby="{random}" dynamic_parameters="search:landen"}

I’m using this in my calling page:

<form action="{path='site/search_partners_results'}" method="post">

<select name="search:landen">
<option value="">Kies een land…</option>
<option value="Canada">Canada</option>
<option value="Bahamas">Bahamas</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

But it doesn’t seem to work. Do you see an error. Also, in the docs, it syas dynamic_parameters only works with drop down lists an d2 other. Does it mean it won’t work with Multiselect fields?

Michel

Michel,

What doesn’t work?
Try adding more to your limit and removing the random orderby

Also make sure your form is outside your channel:entries tag

{exp:channel:entries channel="fotos_front" limit="15"  sort="asc" orderby="title" dynamic_parameters="search:landen"}

Also, in the docs, it syas dynamic_parameters only works with drop down lists an d2 other. Does it mean it won’t work with Multiselect fields?

Yes only dropdown list and not Multiselects

An alternative would be chained selects but might not be what you are after

Hey John,

it works now. And the field I’m searching in is a MultiSelect Custom Field.

Thx,
Michel

Very glad to hear it. Please post again as needed.
