Can I use this plugin to generate a url in wordpress?

    Hello,

    I want to thank you for this fantastic plugin, it is really excellent! I have the pro version and I have built a few very powerful forms so far and am wanting to take it a step further.

    I am trying to build a form that will let end-users selectively filter search results based on specific parameters. An example would be a page that lists a few local restaurants, but then they could check a few boxes to limit that search page to just show places that take credit cards as an example.

    I am currently using categories and tags to distinguish places (category = ‘Dining’ and tags include ‘EFTPOS’,’Credit Cards’,’Amex’ etc.)

    I built a quick form that lets people choose one selection, then created a button with the following code:

    window.location.href = ‘https://mysite.com.au/category/dining/?tag=’+fieldname2;

    The problem I am having with the above is that the url works perfectly, but the ‘fieldname2’ is showing in the url and not the value of that variable. I have tried a lot of different ways to parse the value prior to including it in the button, but nothing works so far.

    I’m not sure this is even the right way to go about what I ultimately want to accomplish, but if you can assist me that would be wonderful. Thank you again!

    Hi,

    Please, follows the steps below:

    1. Assigns a class name to the field, through the attribute: “Add Css Layout Keywords”, for example: myclass

    2. and then if the fieldname2 field is a dropdown field, uses the following piece of code as the onlclick event of the button:

    window.location.href = 'https://mysite.com.au/category/dining/?tag='+jQuery('.myclass select').val();

    but if the fieldname2 is an input field, use the piece of code below:

    window.location.href = 'https://mysite.com.au/category/dining/?tag='+jQuery('.myclass input').val();

    and that’s all.
    Best regards.

    Dude, you totally rock my world. Thank you so much! You don’t want to know how much time I spent trying to work out all different sorts of combos. Thank you!

    (Also, I have never seen a support forum ever that had this much support from the developer, you should be very proud!)

    Just a quick question – if the input is a checkbox format, is there a way to grab all the checked boxes formatted with ‘+’ between them?

    So as an example, if I have credit card options the javascript will format two or three of the selected options like this:

    https://mysite.com.au/category/dining/tag?=mastercard+amex

    Solved… sorry, I worked around with the script and came up with this that works perfectly thanks to your help:

    window.location.href = ‘https://mysite.com.au/category/dining/?tag=’+jQuery(‘.location input:checked’).map(function()
    {
    return $(this).val();
    }).get();
