Displaying the query in the header of the results page

    Hi Shane, great plugin!

    I was wondering if there’s some clever way of displaying the query in the results.

    Like maybe I could have 1 echo for the taxonomy query and 1 for a keyword query and then make a control flow to print whatever the situation necessitates. Like “Search results for “BLAHBLAHBLAH” of the taxonomy “Monkey Pants”.

    But for the life of me I can’t figure out from where to grab this info. I am not a PHP narwahl yet. More of a PHP donkey working my way up.

    Anyway if you could tell me how to query the strings I will write up a nifty control flow and even send that back to you if you like that kind of thing.

    Thanks!

    Yes, potentially this could be something that you could do with some editing. I’ll try to give you some snippets later today when I get a chance to have a fiddle. really appreciate the question too, perhaps an oversight on the original development =(!

    dood bro, I figured it out and wrote a function to handle the behaviour.

    Just add the function then put portfolio_search_results() in the template where you want to display the stuff

    I am now a wordpress turkey.

    Edit note: I left in the values I used, because why not. But whoevers reading this should use $_POST(whateveryourcustomtaxisnamed).
    Double edit note: This is for a search of keyword + custom tax, keyword, or custom tax. You could use the same setup in expanding to include more terms.

    // Function to handle the ‘showing results’ header on the advanced search page:
    function portfolio_search_results(){
    if ($_POST[keywords] && $_POST[property_types]){
    echo “searching for ‘$_POST[keywords]’ in the category: ‘$_POST[property_types]'”;
    } elseif ($_POST[keywords]) {
    echo “searching for ‘$_POST[keywords]’ in all categories”;
    } elseif ($_POST[property_types]) {
    echo “Showing all properties in the $_POST[property_types] category”;
    } else {
    echo “Showing all”;
    }
    }

    I would be super stoked to write a more general function for inclusion into the plugin; I’m super into learning PHP and wordpress right now.

    =D Glad you got something working, it’s quite late here so I’ll be taking a look after I wake up but I’ll see if I can get a quick patch in to handle this functionality for you :). Congratz!
