The plugin works great, my only issue is the pagination. It will not work if I have the custom permalinks, only if the permalinks are default.

With custom permalinks, it create a string as:www.site.com/page/2?…
while with the default it will add &paged=2 at the end of the string. The first one, page/2/ does not work.

Could you please help me? I need to keep the custom permalinks.

thanks

Great plugin. Is there any way to sort search results by title? I have tried to insert ORDER BY post_title in some MySQL queries in extra_search_fields.php file but it doesn’t work. Thanks.

For those who know a little php I can bring a piece of code contained in the file “extra_search_fields.php” inside of WP Custom Search plugin that I modified in the first part (successfully) to get a display of multilingual writing that appears before the choices. So there:

$options = ”;
foreach($this->getOptions($joiner,$fieldName) as $option=>$label){
$checked = ($option==$v)?” selected=’true’”:”";
$option = htmlspecialchars($option,ENT_QUOTES);
$label = htmlspecialchars($label,ENT_QUOTES);
$options.=”$label”;
}
$atts = ”;
if($this->params['onChange']) $atts = ‘ onChange=”‘.htmlspecialchars($this->params['onChange']).’”‘;
if($this->params['id']) $atts .= ‘ id=”‘.htmlspecialchars($this->params['id']).’”‘;
if($this->params['css_class']) $atts .= ‘ class=”‘.htmlspecialchars($this->params['css_class']).’”‘;
return “$options”;

Thanks for the help!

Also I have the problem between WP custom field search and QTRANSLATE plugin: the drop down menù displays categories only in the first language and the results are given in the same first language. I’m not be able to have the drop down items displayed according to the language selected and same for the results.

May sameone halp me?

@frmars You need to modify your php file associated with search results. By default it is often named search.php and you can create a loop-search.php file which will be used instead for treating the search and result loop. I has nothing to do with the plugin. ID, 'Image', true) ) : ?>

@roycegracie

I think you have to use the Drop Down options box and type in all categories you want to be searched separated by a comma.

If you want the option “any” as well you have to write it that way:
:ANY,category1,category2,category3

Hello Don and thanks!

Question:

Is a class automatically generated per form label+input cell?

For example, I would like to add a different image next to form legends by using with appropriate css…
