I’ve just one column to search in, so I don’t want to have a dropdown for this.
What I want is a drop down for the names in this one column.
and hiding the first dropdown search colum:
1.What I did is hiding the dropdown field:
/www/wp-content/plugins/participants-database/classes > PDb_List.class.php
$element = array(
‘type’ => ‘dropdown’,
‘type’ => ‘hidden’, <<<<<<<<<<<<< this I did.
‘name’ => ‘search_field’,
‘value’ => $this->filter[‘search_field’],
‘class’ => ‘search-item’,
‘options’ => array($all_string => ‘none’, ‘null_select’ => false) + $this->searchable_columns($columns),
2.Then I specified the colum (cars) to search in:
PDB-list detailed line 67:
$this->column_selector(false, true, array (‘cars’), ‘column’ );
3. And making a new dropdown for the search words in that one column:
beginning with disable the old list:
PDB-list detailed line 70:
<?php /* $this->search_form() */?>
and making the new dropdown:
<input id=”participant_search_term” type=”hidden” name=”value” class=”search-item” value=’cars’>
<select
< name=”value”>
option>-select-</option>
<option> cars1</option>
<option> cars2</option>
<option> cars3</option>
</select>
<input name=”submit” type=”submit” value=”Search”>
Hope somebody will be helped by this, because it took me hours and hours, because I’m a total newby.
I like this plugin a lot so if anybody is helped by this… My pleasure!
