Listing Filter and State + City

[sbhkma +]

I've read the threads on being able to use city AND state as a filter and am wondering if there is ANY way to make this happen. Client wants this to function so that you can select State / City to view listings, not just filtering to State level. If anyone has done this or has any ideas, please let me know.

The listing filter works one one variable, namely states (you can rename that) or an extra field. What you are requesting is a second filter.

That's what I thought.
If I add a field called "location" I imagine I could filter by THAT, correct? I am however unclear as to how to change the ListingFilter from its default "state" to another field. I've looked at the docs that came with it and it's not very thorough in that regard. How do I go about changing that?

From the instructions text:
/**
* Override the default filtering by state with an extra field, put the fields
* id in place of 0 if you want to enable searching by an extra field versus the
* users registration data.
*
* Please note that this extra field must be a select option, as there is no
* other extra field that enables you to create a list of filterable options.
* These will be used to populate the popup as well as being filtered against.
*/

$data['module']['lfilter_field'] = '0'; //'0' default, integer extra field id

So get the extra field id from the administration extra fields and put the number in.
The code is from the templatecodes module file around line 156.
