Search all fields and use JavaScript?

  • I’m experimenting with this plugin in order to create a searchable, categorized database of job seekers/resumes. I have a couple of questions:

    1. When I include a search field, I am prompted to choose what type of field to search. I’d like to be able to search several/all of them at the same time. Is that possible? If not, is it something you might include in a future version?

    2. Is it possible to use JavaScript with the plugin in any way? I’d like to display some JavaScript generated content on the record detail page (different content for each individual record). I tried adding the js code in text field in a record, which didn’t work, and I also tried adding the code to the page with the [pdb_single] shortcode, also unsuccessful. Can it be done in some other way?

    Other than that, it’s a very nice plugin with a bunch of useful features ??

    Searching on multiple fields at a time is only possible by creating a custom search function. In the next release, I have made this a lot easier, but the core functionality of the search will remain as it is. I plan to release a plugin that adds multiple-field search capabilities in the near future. If you want to help me beta-test it, drop me a line… I need more folks who know how to code testing it.

    An easy way to add javascript to the plugin output is to use a custom template and place your script in there. Take a look at this article that explains the basic approach to setting up custom user templates for the plugin:

    Tanks for your reply.
    I’ll be looking forward to the next release. In the meantime, I might look into creating custom templates.
