Simplified search -> only the search field and the search button

Yes, you can use the search_fields attribute in the list shortcode…for example:

[pdb_list search=true search_fields="city"]

If you have only one search field, the dropdown selector doesn’t appear.

Hum, but this is not possible either, because I want the search to be made in all the database.

Is it possible possible not to show the dropdown menu and search in all fields at the same time ?

Oh, I see. You’ll need to get the Combo Multisearch Add-On to do something like that.

Hi, Thanks for the awesome plugin.
I’m new to this. I hava a question on [pdb-search], When i search in that using some id, it will redirect to the single record. How can i do that without touching the core files?

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at this, it explains how to set up a special template for the list shortcode that shows a single record as it’s result.

Showing a Search Result as a Single Record

By the way, it’s best to post a new question to a new topic…it’s more helpful to others that way.

Thanks for the quick reply.. and how can i add placeholder in search box?

I’m new to this, don’t know how to open new tickets.

You can open a new topic by going to the bottom of the main list of topics for Participants Database, there is a form for asking a question there.

to answer your question about the placeholder, it’s not simple, you need to use a custom template and replace the default search field with a customized one.

You could also purchase the Combo Multisearch add-on, which does have a placeholder in the search box.
