Thanks very much, Ernest.
You are right about the ajax results- that is from the theme search. I hid the ajax results using CSS, however the issue with the theme search input without ajax results is that there is no magnifier so user has to press enter to search – so that is not optimal
When I had installed ASP a few weeks ago, you had suggested and done some workaround to replace the theme search with ASP – I remember there were some options you had suggested which did not work with the Geodirectory advanced search which i also have on the site, and then you had done some ‘trick’ to set this – now sadly that information is gone and i dont remember what exactly you had done.
There seems to be some issue with the way the theme search is replaced and/or the Filter by content type. I do want to have filter by content type as users may be interested only in directory listings and not buddypress discussions and vice versa.
With the Filter by content type active, when i type ‘bishop’ in the theme header search it shows no results and the ASP search box with settings appear on no results page. However, now if i type ‘bishop’ in the ASP box then i get the 6 results – same as the case if Filter by content is turned off.
So basically i want to achieve the following:
1. Use the theme icon in header
2. Use ASP with filter by content settings (preferably the ASP input box also, so magnifier is available for action)
3. without ajax results
4. without interfering with geodirectory search
5. Ideally, also have the ASP search bar at teh top of the results page, so that users can use the fitlers and search again if they find too many irrelevant results.
Do please let me know if these can be achieved – thanks very much for your help with this!
