I am trying to:
I've created a custom search in which the search appears on one page and the results in another page. on the results page' - I also have a search.
The view that displays the search filter has a custom JS code that shows the related filters by identifying the chosen parameter from a custom field select box.
for example: if a person chose in the select box "category1"- then he will see the relevant fields for that category.
this is the code:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$('div[id^="group"]').hide();
$('#wpv_control_select_listing-category').change(function() {
$('div[id^="group"]').hide();
var div_id = 'group'+$('#wpv_control_select_listing-category').val();
$('div[id="'+div_id+'"]').show();
});
});
the problem is that when a person gets the results page- he doesn't see the relevant fields. he does see that in the custom field of the select box the relevant category is marked. but the relevant fields doesn't appear. in order to see them- he needs to choose another category and that switch back to the relevant one.....
I expected to see: when a person searches on the search page- he will be transfer to the results page. there he will see an extended search in which the relevant filters appear by the specific chosen category from a custom field of a select box. by switching to another category- the filters will change to the relevant filters.
Instead, I got: i get the results page, but the relevant filters doesn't appear.
Dear Shirly,
I suggest you try with Views shortcode [wpv-conditional] to check the [wpv-search-term] (URL parameter) value, and display what you need, more help:
https://toolset.com/documentation/views-shortcodes/#wpv-conditional
Conditional shortcode to be used to display a specific block of meta HTML based on results of a boolean expression . If the expression is true, then the meta HTML between the [wpv-conditional][/wpv-conditional] shortcodes will be executed.
https://toolset.com/documentation/views-shortcodes/#wpv-search-term
This shortcode displays the search term when visiting the search results page
hey, thank you for the answer.
i've used a wpv-conditional shortcode. i've created a condition according when someone select a category from a selectbox (listing-category) - the other fields will change and he will see only specific fields related to the selectbox.
but i have 2 problems:
1. when i change the category on the select-box that i've define as a trigger for the condition- it does'nt change the fields in the search at all.
2. the search results doesn't change according to the new selected category.

Which one is the "category " select-box?
Which is the fields should be changed?
What should the fields changed into?
2) the search results doesn't change according to the new selected category.
