Topic: Quick Search problems!

Hi guys

I have a big problem with me Quick Search.


I changed the original (Seeking a “Man/Woman”) into “I am interested in”
and delete the  original (I am “Man/Woman”) completely.


All I want from the Quick Search (I am interested in drop down box) to separate (find) the users who are interested in Social Networking and  the once who are interested in Business networking .

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Re: Quick Search problems!

Hi,
Your problem is in your using profile types and field types for the same purpose.

You have Business type and Social type.
And you have gender1 of Business and Social member.

But your quick search form can only serve one profile type (apparently with default label of Business member).
In your case I would quit using different types and left only one profile type and separated members by field gender1 as you have it now.

It would make process, registration and search forms simpler. Drawback - you can't use different type-specific fields and field groups without additional programming.

Re: Quick Search problems!

Hey

Much appreciate your explanation and not it's crystal clear. Unfortunately I must have different profile type otherwise my website doesn’t make any since. A business member for instance clearly has to have different type-specific fields otherwise it’s all pointless.

I have two questions. of I may?

1)Is there anything i could use the quick search for and find a way to find the two time of members
2) if not, how can i completely get rid of it?

Is just a big shame coz i thing it would be fab to have a quick search coz it makes the site very interesting for guests and i defiantly would encourage them to sign up, coz they would see all the different members with on click!

Look forward to hear form you.

Hi,

1. You could hire someone to make system work with one profile type and show/hide field depending on gender1 selection. This way your system would work smoothly.

2. To get rid of quick search remove it's call {search: ... from .tpl files, from homepage.tpl and/or from sidebar.tpl
3. You can keep two profile types and display two quick searches, you just need to call it to times with different params: {search:type=2....}
where 2 is type id of one more type.
