Hi,
Do you also do custom work? I’d like the quicksearch implemented instead of the current regular search in classipress.
you may create quick search page by plugin template and add button or link so on click on it user will go on quick search and can get search easily.
I bought the plugin, except it doesn’t work. The ads do not load. I’ve got quite a big website (8k+ ads) however that shouldn’t matter. How can this be solved?
make sure you have installed the plugin as per installation guide like create template, refresh the search data from wp-admin plugin settings.
Please check & set plugin settings. necessary guide is already there.
Thanks
I followed the guide, made the .json file writeable however it still doesn’t work. I also deactivated all other plugins / child theme to see if it conflicted with something, still doesn’t work.
would u like to send me temporary wp-login details to :: vipul.jariwala@gmail.com
so I will check and give you idea if any problem.
Thanks
Yes, thankyou.
I’ve just sent them.
Hi,
I would like to know if there is any chance (and when) to have the following functions :
Selecting the category(ies) with select box in a list
Select a price range (and eventually a range for an other numeric custom field)
More over I would like to know if it is possible to have the form in a page without the results. They would be shown in a new page after validating the form.
Thank you.
hi there,
Instead of category select box we have added input so user can search category by type because there may no limit of category and difficult to select it.
Related to price range, I will discuss with team but not sure about.
The blank form is not possible because it is the jquery search and it is one time load not using any ajax. So it is not possible for current version of plugin.
Thanks
Hi,
Is the quick search compatible to any child theme of ClassiPress?
HI sorry for delay in reply, the quick search has own css and html so it will work for any child theme. If any problem, we will support to solve it.
Thanks
Hello Vipul! I installed the Quick Search plugin and read the plugin installation guide. But the plugin does not run on my classipress 3.4.1 + wp 4.3.1. Please help me.
HI Lars,
While very first time you active the plugin, you must go to wp-admin > Ads (left menu) > Quick Search settings > Press the button “Refresh Data Right Now”
So it will fill the data file and start working.
After that it will automatically refresh as per settings : Data refresh Time
Thanks
Does this work on hirebee?
Yes it is working for child theme but if there is any css problem, we will help to correct it.
Iast week we have some change for “eclassify” child theme and by adding few css it is working without any problem.
Few css mean padding, spacing like problems only…. not much problem.
Thank
Hi,
This looks like it has a lot of potential, by that, I mean it does (in my opinion) need a couple of adjustments that I do believe are doable.
1. Remove the filter by address box out, and replace in a new div that would work like this:
Add 3 Drop Downs Menus (selects) Country – State – City, these drop downs will be automatically be populated based on classipress’ custom fields for each. In short, when the person posts an ad, the ad posters location — Country, State and City will be automatically populated in the drop downs. This way when searching for ads, the locations that are in the drop down menus will have ads in them as opposed to having to type in a location as you currently have it, but keeping the ajax functionality of course would be nice.
2. Move filter by category up where the filter by address is (was) with the grid and list view buttons next to it. Keep pagination as it.
I hope that makes sense, if not I will give you some more information by email if needed.
Brian
Also, make the height of the filter by title, and filter by category boxes a little bigger in height, they look old-school style.
Hi Brian,
1) the address box working for both country, state, city and complete address so we are not planing to add 3 Drop Downs Menus (selects) Country – State – City.
2)Move filter by category up related change, you may need to do change your way as you want. So you may need custom change your own.
Thanks
Funciona com tema filho cutest?
Yes it working with child theme. It may be problem sometime for css style. We will help you for that.
—————————————–
Sim, trabalhando com tema infantil. Pode ser problema algum para o estilo css. Vamos ajudá-lo por isso.
Amigo não funciona em “https” o plugin. Da o seguinte erro:
Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /home/guiaitaberai/public_html/wp-content/plugins/quick_search_classipress/includes/quick_search_functions.php on line 242
Quando retorno o site para “http” o mesmo não ocorre o erro.
hi…should work with my site?? http://www.casaeauto.it
yes i should work with the site url and if any style or display problem, we will help to correct it.
Thanks
Hi,
I would like to purchase this plugin but have ability to filer by author/seller as well. Is that possible?
Yes it is possible, We will add author in search and related option so you will get it working in next update. We will update in this week only. Please be in contact with us.
Perfect!
If you could add the filter by author function and perhaps the ability to in addition add filter by specific keywords. I like your plugin and i would be sold.filter by authur and by city plus the ability to filter by perhaps 3-4 more fields that i can add would make this in my opinion the most powerful search function on all classifieds
I would love to then replace the default classipress search function with this one.
Thanks Vipul
replace the default search on home plus the default search widget
we have updated plugin.
You may see latest updated demo on our site for better idea.
Regarding to replace this in place of default search, you may need to make change in theme search related file.
Thanks
Thank you for such prompt updates Vipul. I noticed the filter by poster is not working well because ‘WPWebs Team’ has posted an ad but a search for WPWebs Team returs no results.
Last but not least could the title, address, category and poster order of the filters be title, category, poster then address…?
I like so far;)
Thanks
