Filter on state

[wesse249 +]

Hello another question.

For example: When i go the categorie auto>autoparts the i see al the autopart listings. I like to have on my site the following option: A jumpbox with al states in it and when i select an state the page must reload and only show the listing in that state? Is there a module for this option? or can somebody tell me how to do this?

Greetings Jan

The easiest thing I can think of would be to create a form or set of links that link directly to the search results with the state in question.

NJ Link -> searchresults.php?state=NJ

Of course, I haven't been keeping up with the latest v4 code so my example might not be perfect. You could just search by state and copy/paste the url into a form or html block.

If you look here --> http://demo.68classifieds.com/search.php You'll see the dropdown of the box with all the states. You could use that code and take out all of the other search options and there you go!

Do you mean a select box? I'm not familiar with "jumbo box". If that is what you meant you could do something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function searchState()
  {
      var selObj = document.getElementById('stateSearch');
      var selIndex = selObj.selectedIndex;
      window.location="searchresults.php?state=" + selObj.options[selIndex].value;
  }
</script>
<select id="stateSearch" onchange="searchState();">
  <option value="NJ">New Jersey</option>
</select>

I am currently writing a module that specifically deals with locality. It should be ready within a fortnight.

I did the same for my site. Just used another page to select the location, instead of using a combo box.
