Hi there, i d like to ask a quick question.
I have created a search and place it in a widget. The search contains custom fields and it has 4 options.
The search is “Postgraduate Cources” and contains dropdowns with 1. University. 2. Country 3. Duration and 4. Price/Cost.It works great but i d like to know if i can create a link in another page (the search is not there), for example
a. Check all free IT courses (this will be a link and when the user clicks it, he will redirect to another page with the search with the filters selected (Free for the price) and results will be shown.I thought that i could create another search with hidden input fields and default values for my selected fields that i want.
Is there another way? Coz i want to create 10 or more searches.Hi,
There was a very similar question asked a few weeks ago. I will link you to that answer, I believe it is what you are looking for: https://wp-dreams.com/forums/topic/invoke-search-filter-with-url/#post-23860
Basically, that describes how to get the URL of pre-defined filters, as well as trigger the search when visiting that URL, which I believe is the thing you are looking for.
Hi there and thanks for the quick reply. I did try the state api and create a few filtered searches. It works ok, i think i can do my job with this. My only concern is that even though the pre-defined filtered search works ok, the value is not selected in the dropdown.
Dropdowns filters have the initial value and not the one that i chose to filter. Ok i can create a new search widget but i guess there is a faster way to achieve that.
Thanks again
Hi,
I’m afraid you can’t hide that – as that contains the parameters to the search options. Visiting the URL contains the information.
There is however an option to hide them when doing a search via the search form, and the information is sent through a POST method, which can be set here.
