Buttons/images as form controls

  • Love your plug-in.

    I’m looking to reproduce the design and functionality of this site (in a different industry):
    https://nomadlist.com

    Therefore I’m looking to do multisearch. I looked at your add-on, but it looks like you must use typical form controls/elements (checkboxes, radio buttons, etc.) Is this correct?

    I would prefer to use on/off buttons (i.e. images) as the site does above instead of traditional form controls.

    What do you recommend?

    Typically, this kind of visual enhancement is set up using a javascript that transforms the conventional controls, so there’s usually no need to customize the backend at all. There are several good jQuery plugins that do this sort of thing. The Combo Multisearch plugin uses a customizable template for it’s display, so that makes a convenient way to add the necessary code, but there are several other ways to do it.

    Yeah – I can handle the visual enhancement stuff.

    I’m now looking for help with doing multisearch.

    I’ve read through how to do more advanced searches using the ‘pdb-list_query_object’ hook in the functions.php. Makes sense.

    I also see how to set the search field, operator and search term via the form controls for a single name value pair.

    How do I pass multiple search fields and values? What control names do I use so that they are accessible via the list query object?
