I wish to have a user search for items on a site. Once they have the search results they can then select some of the items with a tick box and then have those items sent to fields in a contact form.

The mockup of it is attached.

When they click send request I need the ticked post types to be sent to the fields of a contact form

Thanks,

David

Hello, David.
Thank you for contacting our support forum.

First part is easy. You can create a parametric search page to search over your items and show them on the page:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-page-filters/
- https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/adding-parametric-search-wordpress-archives/

The second one needs custom programming in order to achieve what you looking for. You may try to use jQuery/Javascript to validate the button click.

For example:
Add check using jquery/Javascript that before user click on “Send Request” button it will check that if user has already selected any checkboxes or not and based on that you should display error/warning message.
