Search with Custom Cats

[rockabilly +]

Hello,
The custom cats add on works great. The one problem I see is when you do an advanced search, the results page does not show the custom cats data like the show listings page does.

It there a way to make the advance search results display the extra cats just like the showlistings page?

Thank you.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

Thank you...

I believe that is not the intended behavior. Would it not defeat the point of having custom categories? Why are you using 'custom' categories ?

Just copy showlistings.tpl into your custom template in that module and remove or add what you want.

Custom cats shouldn't by default show more, last I looked it showed less. I'll have to go back and look again.

I used the custom cats for a real estate category to display the number of bedrooms and baths in the table of the showlisting template. As I mentioned this works great. But when you do an advanced search for real estate, it does not display the number of beds and bath in the results table like the showlistings template does.
I was wondering if there is a way to display these fields in the results of the advanced search.

Thank you.

Something doesn't seem right here, because the results from a search should still be displayed using the admin defined showlistings or showlistings2 template. What template is being used to show the listings when you do this advanced search?
