search boxes select only not input

    Hi,

    The plugin seems to be generally great – but what I’d like to know is if it is possible to make the search boxes into select fields rather than free input fields. So basically the way it works on a mobile but on desktop.

    At the moment you select a category (or location) but then if you want to change it you have to manually delete the contents of the input field and then select again.

    I’ve looked through the template files etc. but there is no obvious way to make this change.

    Is it possible?
    Thanks

    Hello,

    currently there is no way to manage this, but we are going to add some kind of reset button in the next versions.

    Hi Shamalli,
    Thanks for the reply.

    Is there any way you could have an option to make them only searchable by presets (ie the categories / locations added in admin) instead of free entry (ie use the select function and not input)? Or would that be tricky to implement with the current setup?

    Or even clear the input when focusing back on the field again – I tried to do this in the code but couldn’t work out where it was being generated
    Thanks

    No problem, a reset button would be a great addition.

    Ideally for our use we wouldn’t use the search boxes and instead would just have the category icons as per your examples (https://www.salephpscripts.com/wordpress_directory/demo/documentation/#directory_categories) but I can’t get the shortcodes to work so we’re having to use the default directory and change the settings to suit.

    Whenever I use shortcodes other than the standard [webdirectory] they just output as text!

    Any idea what I might be doing wrong with it?

    I use Genesis if that affects anything – everything else works, just the shortcodes other than webdirectory!

    There are only 2 shortcodes in free version of the plugin: [webdirectory] and [webdirectory-page-header]

    ahhh OK thanks – I didn’t realise that when I was going through the documentation, at least I know I wasn’t breaking it!

    Thanks for your reply again.

    I’ll suggest to the website owner that they can buy the plugin if we need to customise the layout any further
