User filterable list

Thanks Drew,

Can I be cheeky and ask for some code pointers?

This what I've got so far, I'm mindful that I can't completely turn the filter off because the text search still needs to work on 'all' locations.

Hope that makes sense and thanks.

<?php
// Create an empty array ready to add our filters to
$filters = array();

if (perch_get('textsearch')) {
    // if 'type' is on the URL, add a filter for bedrooms
    $filters[] = array(
        'filter' => 'title',
        'match'  => 'contains',
        'value'  => perch_get('textsearch'),
    );
}

if (perch_get('location')) {
    // if 'beds' is on the URL, add a filter for bedrooms
    $filters[] = array(
        'filter' => 'location',
        'match'  => 'eq',
        'value'  => perch_get('location'),
    );
}

// Unset the filters if none are used:
if (!count($filters)) $filters=false;

// Then get the list
perch_content_custom('Jobs', array(
    'template'   => 'job-listing.html',
    'sort'       => 'published', 
    'sort-order' => 'DESC',
    'filter'     => $filters,
));
?>

Works a treat!

Many, many thanks Drew.

Sorry to bother you again Drew, just one other small thing.

If I enter say a partial word into the text field, like "grad" instead of "graduate" it doesn't return a result, even though it's set up with 'contains'.

Is this normal behaviour or have I done something wrong?

Ok, thanks Drew.

Hi Drew,

Is it possible to set one filter against two fields so that one text input could search both?

Something like this perhaps:

'filter' => 'title,description';

I've tried putting them in as separate filters but they seem to cancel each other out.

Thanks
