Hi @shellbeezy

Thank you for your reply.

You are correct it is used for connect accounts, we have a main platform account with over 300 custom connect accounts and each one needs to have a fee deducted based on what we have agreed with them as we get volume pricing and we needed to send these values over as well which we have managed to do using the abstract file.

It’s quite unique what we were trying to do and understand the plugin isn’t exactly designed to do that but we wanted the latest version for SCA.

As we have managed to complete this task I will now mark it as resolved.

No problem Michael, I’ll post both short term fix and final coding to help others.

Thanks Michael,

I’ll write my own code to get this task done, just thought I’d ask incase it already had this function.

I didn’t even know this was possible without hardcoding! Saved me a lot of time.

Keep up the good work, CMB2 is excellent.

Managed to fix it! Simple mistake to make, got it working now and it’s pulling it all in.

Kyle, we made the usual changes but assume we are going wrong somwhere as it isnt working. We changed the following files and added into the sections stated – are we missing anything obvious?

Field is called property_bedrooms in the database and the file being pulled in is pyb but it doesn’t seem to pull the value through.

If we set the code below to the following manually it works property_bedrooms >= ‘3’

I have a feeling some of the edits below may not be required but trying everything to get it to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

LocationSearch.php

- Sanitize and set the user-submitted data
'pyb' => sanitize_text_field($_POST['pyb']),

- added this to SET QUERY DATA
$this->query_data['pyb'] = $this->data['pyb'];

- Added this to set the query
AND property_bedrooms >= 'pyb'

simple-locator-form.php / FORM

<select name="pyb">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="6">6</option>
<option value="9">9</option>
</select>

I’ve found another way around it, thank you for your help.

Yes, we looked at that but couldn’t quite get what it was on about, at the moment it uses another plugin to create the form and submit the post and it works fine, we just need to pull in more fields using CMB2, we managed to get it working correctly using the dashboard to submit the information but can’t get it on frontend. Below is the code to make it work on the backend, if you can give any pointers on how to get those fields on the front it would be much appreciated, we have access to the files but no sure how we get them all to work.

Thanks again.

We are able to update the search Query and PHP just need to know which files control the search. We have managed to update the SQL to include more fields from database but only if input manually into SQL Query. When we try and pull in the value from the form it doesn’t pull our extra values in, only the values from your initial fields which made us think there is another file controlling what is pulled through the form. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your response Kyle, which file(s) control the search fields as we have managed to add more select boxes but the values are not pulling through at the moment and is pinging back as null.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is it possible to hide certain parts of the property submission on the front-end for example we dont want to allow the end user to add files and links and some others.

Any help would be much appreciated on this one.

True to your word it’s been fixed! Thank you again Merv, couldn’t recommend your plugin/service more highly! Second to none!

Managed to fix this on my own. Thank you.

Thanks Merv,

I am not importing at the moment, but may need to in the near future.
