Hi all,

2nd EE site and things are going well - big site using cartthrob and structure. Very happy with EE and it’s power/flexibility. But I am stuck on this after quite a few hours and different approaches.

Can anyone help please?

I have a channel called ‘domestic_courses’ and a template group for that just using ‘index’.

Code for that template:

<form method="post" acti >
<select name="search:course_month" id="search:course_month">
    <option value="January">January</option>
    
</select>

<select name="limit" id="limit">
        <option value="10">10</option>
        <option value="20">20</option>
        <option value="30">30</option>
        <option value="40">40</option>
    </select> 

<input type="submit" value="Go!" />
</form> 


{exp:channel:entries channel="domestic_courses" dynamic_parameters="search:course_month|limit"}
<ul class="date-list">
<li><a href="http://{page_url}"><em>{course_date format="%F %d %Y"}</em> | {title} | {course_month}</a></li>
</ul>

{/exp:channel:entries}

All checks have been done, making sure the custom fields are all searchable for that channel etc. I have tried a route of having a ‘results’ page and posting to that.

Debugging is on and I can see the post values are correct.

But NOTHING is rendering for the channel entries after the form is submitted. I have tried the same on a different ‘news’ channel and tweaked the code appropriately. It seems that dynamic parameter searching is just not working for some reason.

I have removed the index.php as per the docs - even tried changing the .htaccess to use a + instead of the *

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Nothing at all is working?? And there was me thinking this part would be a simple 5 min set up..

TIA

PS. Seems the code entry is being cut off on the full form tag I am trying to post

Hi Jez,

Check to make sure you don’t have page caching enabled for this template.

Cheers,

I take it this is not on a structure ‘page’?

Otherwise my first guess would definitely be related to removing the index.php - have you tried with index.php intact?

Also, not sure if it makes any difference but at least to debug I would likely try a revised name for the search field without a colon - maybe search_course_month
