Hi

I am building an online directory of professionals and services. The user will need to be able to search for a professional or service, but I don't want to use a generic search box as I have before. The user will need to be guided through the search process rather than leaving it too open ended through generic keyword search. What I'm looking to do is something similar to http://www.houseplans.com/plans, but probably not with so many search criteria. Functionality needs to be similar though.

I've been researching online and I've seen a few PHP plug-ins, but wondered if there are any you know of that would work well with CMS Builder? I've had a look through your plug in section, but don't see anything there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really want to use CMS Builder for this project :).

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

This can certainly be done with CMS Builder. We have set up a lot of different advanced search solutions for clients in the past. There isn't any plugin for creating something like this. The best solution is usually doing some custom programming to create this type of form. It could be created to have as many different search fields as you would need. Then, we would add some code to the "search results" page, to use these values in your query.

If you would like to explore this further, please send an email to consulting@interactivetools.com and we can go over some options.

Thanks,

Hi Jason

I sent details through to your consulting email on Friday, but I haven't had any response.
