Search parameter passed by url Get

[achillon]

I need to be able to make a search passing the location in the url,

so if I go to
http://www.kohsamuiholidays.com/search?location=Maenam (for instance)
it’ll show the same as if I go to
http://www.kohsamuiholidays.com/search
and choose “Maenam” as location

Hi,

While it is not possible to trigger via URL, there might be a solution. Try putting this custom code to the functions.php file in your active theme directory:

This will detect the “location” parameter and change the location value of the search select on load.

OK, thanks a lot

It does load in a weird way though, please have a look and the search does not work anymore, any easy way to fix this, please?

Hi,

I don’t know, I will have to be able to make changes to the code directly to see if it is possible.

If you have a temporary FTP details to your test environment, feel free to update your ticket, and I will take a look.

For future reference, this is the working code:
