Ajax Search Pro for WordPress need help for our real estate website

[Kinjal]

We have purchase ajax search pro plugin from envato and integrated on website, but i wanted to know that can we use search form as tabs with 2 different search form
For example. we have 2 options Rent and Sell. if someone click on rent, rent search options should open or display and likewise for sell… please help us on the same. this is the main functionality of website as it is real estate website.

Hi,

Sure!

Usually themes or theme builders have “tab” or similar builder elements. You could create two search bars and configure them so that the first one shows only the “for rent” and the other one shows the “for buy” items. Then add these search shortcodes to the tab feature of your theme or theme builder.

Depending on how the rent/buy items are marked, you can use results exclusions or inclusions to only allow resulst for the real estate types.

Hi Kinjal,

The layout of the results page is up to the page itself. The plugin redirects to the results page, but how that looks depends on the theme. The advanced search page seems to be a custom built template of some sort. Check the theme settings, there is probably a way to change the results page layout as well.

Hello,

But in the search plugin there is option to add custom URL right?, we have created another page as result page and then we click on search it shows blank page. No results shows up.

[Ernest Marcinko]

Yes – but that does not mean WordPress will convert that page to a results page. WordPress has it’s “results page archive” handler, and it is triggered whenever the “?s=” query argument is triggered by default. That automatically calls the proper theme layout file and prints whatever is in the results loop. A custom page is only a custom page, it will not become the results page, WordPress will not recognize that. The best way to get around it is to simply make changes to the actual results page template.

Hello,

I have setup search by developer in my website but if i am searching by developer it’s not working can you please check?

[Ernest Marcinko]

Sure!

The property_agent field seems to be a reference field to developer posts, so I have added a custom code snippet to transform the values to the developer post titles for the index (the code is in the child theme functions.php):

add_filter( 'asp_post_custom_field_before_tokenize', 'asp_change_cf_index', 10, 3 );
function asp_change_cf_index( $values, $post, $field ) {
    if ( $field == 'property_agent' ) {
        $id = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'property_agent', true);
		if ( !is_wp_error($id) ) {
			$values = array( get_the_title( $id ) );
		}
    }
	
    return $values;
}

Now searching by developer should very likely return results for the properties.

Hello,

Thanks it’s done.

But in home page search form rent search bar is automatic disabled can you tell me how this happened?

[Ernest Marcinko]

Okay thank you for your help,

I need 1 more help that is i wanted to add property pricing in dropdown and if i am adding as dropdown it’s not looking good as it shows only numbers there is no option to add currency symbol or CR and anything to add as per my pricing details. Client doesn’t like range slider. how can i setup dropdown in proper way.

[Ernest Marcinko]

Sure!

The drop-downs are designed for text inputs, but you can probably get around it by manually entering the values with the formatting like so:

||Select**
1000||$1,000
10000||$10,000
100000||$100,000

[Kinjal]

Noted,

But can we put values like

₹ 7500000 – ₹10000000
₹15000000 – ₹20000000

Like this in dropdown?

[Kinjal]

And If i am adding price 1cr or below 1 cr search shows no result but in the properties i have added properties with 75 lakh . please check.

[Ernest Marcinko]

Range values will not work that way, dropdowns are comparing for ranges, but for individual values. For that you should try creating two separate drop-downs, one for the “from” and the other for the “to” price, and set numeric operators.

There is also a “number range” filter type, which allows inputting only numeric values: https://i.imgur.com/qNfThgd.png
