Creating Selectable Search Parameters

    I am trying to use this as a filter to show off a portfolio for a construction company.

    They basically have 4 Main categories with multiple variables under each they want people to pick from. The only thing I can find stock though that gives you multiple variables to choose is Property Type.

    I can use this, in my case, as Industry Type. But I need to create 3 more dropdowns for construction type, contract type, etc.

    I thought this would be in Property Attributes, but when I try to make a drop down list, it combines everything into one line instead of multiple options.

    I guess, at the end of the day, I’m asking how to make the multiple search variables that show up on the Madison theme example they have.

    https://madison.ci.usabilitydynamics.com/

    There, you can pick from 3 different search variables. How do you create these? (Price, bedrooms, bathrooms)

    I feel dumb asking this, but I am totally lost.

    If this goes well, I was hoping to have the results show up in a list and a map if that’s possible as well.

    Thanks in advance. I would really appreciate the help.

  • On Madison theme they are automatic populated from prices, bedrooms and bathrooms from all properties on already added to WordPress.

    You can do that adding an attribute, selecting it as searchable and its search input field as DropDown Selection (leave its options blank).

    If you want to show specific (and limited) values, just follow this link:

    Awesome. Thanks so much Kairion! Using commas was the issue. So I have that working now.

    Do you know how to implement the results into a map as well? Is that possible? So basically you could get a list, as well as map?

    You need to use the supermap add-on (you’ll have to “buy” it from Usability Dynamics website, even if it’s actually free (just add it to your cart and create an account)) that you can get from here:

    Thanks for the help Kairion!

    Let us know if you have further questions.

    I will probably have a few more. My most recent one though is getting the search to display inline, similar again to the madison theme. Currently, it’s stacked, but ideally, I want it horizontally at the top of the content.

    I’m finding most of the stuff to be very difficult to style altogether. This is what I get organically.

    What this is also doing is defaulting to having the main content (where the results show up) too wide so it goes under the sidebar.

    I will continue to work with this, but out-of-the-box, for me at least, it’s very unappealing visually. Works like I need it to though!

    Supermap might actually do what I need actually. The sidebar doesn’t show up automatically though like it’s supposed to I think.

    I’m having issues ??
