search.php syntax

[wim]

Hi,

I have put extra fields for the file-info: Country and Location.
I want to make a search for pictures with Location = "Bukk". I thought that it be is possible to use the syntax http://www.naturephotography.nl/photogallery/thumbnails.php?album=search&search=Bukk&type=match

There is something strange with it. It don't work until I go to http://www.naturephotography.nl/photogallery/search.php and set Location=on and put Bukk in the search field. When I cut and past the first mentiond syntax again it works fine. It looks that then the search syntax works with a catch or something like that.

My question is..... Witch syntax I must use to get what I want?
I want use that syntax / direct link for a direct link on one off my webpages.

Thanks in advance...

Wim

You need to make your custom field a default search field by modifying the code in include/search.inc.php

Code Select Expand


if (!isset($USER['search']['params'])){
        $USER['search']['params']['title'] = $USER['search']['params']['caption'] = $USER['search']['params']['keywords'] = $USER['search']['params']['filename'] = 1;
}


Your Location is user2, so the code becomes

Code Select Expand


if (!isset($USER['search']['params'])){
        $USER['search']['params']['title'] = $USER['search']['params']['caption'] = $USER['search']['params']['keywords'] = $USER['search']['params']['filename'] = $USER['search']['params']['user2'] = 1;
}


After that you can use http://www.naturephotography.nl/photogallery/thumbnails.php?album=search&search=Bukk
