sorry i forgot to post back into the forum the outcome on this issue

dave provided me with this code which allowed for the displaying of those foreign characters in the url itself which works a treat [:)]

<a href="/services-detail.php/<?php echo strtr( urlencode($record['name']), '+', '-') ?>-<?php echo $record['num'] ?>/" title="<?php echo $record['name'] ?>">Read more about <?php echo $record['name'] ?></a>

yeah id thought along those same lines for the work around give them another field for name or keywords and limit the field to standard characters but the client didnt like it [crazy]

unless anyone else out there knows of the function or another way round i guess ill have to convince him to go with that

pity though as i can see this issue being a small limiting factor in future spanish projects

cheers

in case others are looking for this solution the following code was added which tracks which types have already been shown and only shows each once:

<?php if (@$alreadyShown[ $record['type'] ]++) { continue; } ?>

cheers! [:)]

i am currently using seo urls including the record title field in the viewer urls to give the it a better descriptive meaning

however some of my titles will include spanish characters such as ñ, á etc - so when the system produces the url at present it simply ignores these and replaces with a -

for example

/services-detail.php/diseño-gráfico-2/

gets output as

/services-detail.php/dise-o-gr-fico-2/

is there a way for me to tell the system for the url only if it reads ñ or á to replace with a n or a instead of a - an so on...

many thanks for the support

regards sev

we have it to a stage where the drop down loads only the types which have listings both before and after the search however if i have for example 2 listings as 'type' plumber it loads plumber into the drop down twice so im just missing a way of it only pulling in the 'type' once

im a newbie using php so this is a little above my head for now, dave could you possibly give some advice on how i could achieve this either by a seperate table as suggested by ryan or some other coding?

i have attaced the list page services.php to show how it looks at present:

unfortunately this hasnt solved it and im back to only the searched for 'type' appearing in the drop down after any search

bit of an odd one this

many thanks for taking the time to reply much appreciated

i had the load records code on the services.php as follows

<?php

require_once "/home/site/public_html/cms/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($servicesRecords, $servicesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'services',
'useSeoUrls' => true,
'perPage' => '20',
));

?>

i replaced it with your example code above which unlike before now allows all available types to be seen after the search (once its jump to example /services.php?type=Insurance) however its not filtering the results and displays all listings

if i flick 'loadUploads' => '0', & 'allowSearch' => '0', to 'true' i have the same issue as before where only the searched for type is displayed in the drop down

i should explain that the services.php page (the list page) is actually the initial search page as well

heres a copy of services.php as it stands at the moment sorry im having trouble explaining clearly

<?php

require_once "/home/playa/public_html/cms/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($servicesRecords, $servicesMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'services',
'loadUploads' => '0',
'allowSearch' => '0',
));
?>

id like to do something similar but im having a few problems with my understanding of the code [:/]

hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction

i have a category to list business services which includes a field "type" (electrician, plumber etc)

id like to have on my list viewer page a drop down which populates with only the types which currently have listings entered in the database via which visitors can filter the search results then as my client adds more listings in each of the different types the drop down auto populates...

the following code works fine on the primary list viewer page and filters the results fine but once ive select one of the available types and jumped to the search results only the type that i have selected in the previous search is displayed in the drop down and not all available (hope that makes sense!)

<form id="form" action="/services.php">

<select name="type" class="dropdown" id="type" >
<option value="">Any</option>
<?php foreach ($servicesRecords as $record): ?>
<option value="<?php echo $record['type'] ?>"><?php echo $record['type'] ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>

thanks for your support

hopefully a quick question for you...

can this multisearch be used in conjunction with the seo friendly urls option "filename fields" in viewer urls of admin > section editors?

i have the sitewide search multisearch.php working great but would ideally like the links to mirror what i have set up in the categories using the record title in the link eg mysite.com/viewer.php/my-title-6/

also not just on the multisearch but on all links is there a way to remove the record number from the end and just refer to the record title?
or is the number needed somewhere? [crazy]

thanks very much for your support]]> Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:04:59 -0800 forum-posts.php?postNum=2194809#post2194809
