    Hi rusvkus,
    The plugin may not loaded on the mobile phone because of data load limitation for phone.

    I’m guessing by the live demo there is no way to add the custom category fields to this search?

  • author
    Vipul

    Hi Michael,
    You may add new field for search and display but you need to user the wordpress action hooks and filter as per we have added for plugin. Get more details from readme.txt file inside plugin folder.

    Thanks

    • Michael

      Thanks for those links, however they don’t go into detail on how to add the custom fields to it. The power of Classipress is the ability to search by the custom fields, I simply want to make sure this plugin will support them before I buy, thanks

  • author
    Vipul

    Hi Michael,
    Actually there is no custom fields support automatically like you saying for search for this plugin. You can show/hide the display search options as display on demo site.
    If you want to add your own custom search, then you have to use plugin action hooks to add your settings mean you have to do customization and add program code to display it and work it. More details are no mention publicly for code security purpose.
    Thanks

  • Colin

    Hi there,
    I need custom field support too. Is this a feature you are looking to add in the future?
    I will buy if I can search custom fields, or if you can guide me through it after purchase.
    Thanks,
    Colin

    • Michael

      Colin, I wound up buying FacetWP, more expensive but way more features. Supports custom fields out of the box. Supports geo-location searching with a small mod.

    Hi all,
    we have updated plugin with custom fields new features and you can get from dashboard…
    Thanks

  • yarono5

    Hi Vipul,

    New features suggestion:
    1. ShortCodes for Quick Search
    2. Possibility to create various search collections (different custom fields in each collection) to be used per category or with ShortCodes: Quick Search for Real Estate, Quick Search for Cars etc.

    Regards,

    Yaron

  • author
    Vipul

    Hi yarono5,
    1) Shortcodes for quick search will never work because the quick search only work with jQuery one page and it must have data loaded to work. That’s why we have added page template to select and work.
    And another reason why don’t added shortcode because if we add shortcode, related css and js have to loaded for each pages and may slower your site. So we have make special page templates and so related css and js loaded for those pages only.
    At last shortcode is not possible for current version of plugin.
    2)Search collection is also not possible because it is js related search and there is no url or storage any where.
    Thanks

  • jyonan

    You should have called your plugin “Quick View” instead of Quick Search. I just purchased your Quick Search plugin. I was hoping for a search that would have the capability of searching whatever fields I wanted to, including custom fields. A search that would search fields in a range (not just the price field).
    Instead, your plugin merely includes item (including custom fields) in the details of the ads. I should be able to search on any of the fields (including the custom fields), but your plugin does not do that.

    Is there a plugin out there that will provide advanced custom search of the Classipress fields (including custom fields) and can set up the search for ranges, greater than, less than, equal to, etc…..??? I would be willing to pay a lot more than what I paid for this plugin…although it provides part of what I need, it is not exactly what I was looking for. Improve the search functionality and I will buy it!

  • author
    Vipul

    Hi jyonan,
    I have check your comments and found that we have tried range filter search for custom fields but it was created problem. Then also we have added custom fields add option for this search but you can only add text & select box for search not range slider like options…
    And as per our last try, we was fail to solve the complexity created, so no future plan to add more advance options. Only easy and simple search with all custom fields supports.
    Thanks

    Hello, Thank you very much for your quick response, but I would like to know if it is compatible with Classipress 4 and you can customize search filters with this theme, or only for Classipress 3.
    I’ve seen that only classi press 3 but I do not see that it works with Classipress 4 as well.
    please clarify this to decide.
    The theme of my webpage is Classipres 4
    I’ll wait for your answer, thank you so much
