Thread: configuring the search.php

Hi
I have installed dolphin 5.4.0
I have adapted the registration fields turning the script into a professional musician community. I am very happy with this!

Trouble is... when I go to the search page, I get a host of unwanted search variables such a "sex" "Country" etc. Although these are hidden fields, I cannot work out how to remove them from the search page. each search option has a show/hide option, but I don't want them there at all.

Thanks in advance

yes I am working on this, I still haven't figured out how to make my new profile fields searchable, and remove the excess search fields in search.php

Anyone have an idea of what we can do?

Hi
The answer lies in phpmyadmin where if you browse fields in profiledecs you can select the search type. The ones you don't want to appear select "none".
Trouble is, I keep messing up the extended search function, so now the search.php just refreshes itself instead of callin on search_results.php.

I need some help with this!

Hi
Thanks for your reply, but this is not what we want to do!
We want to completely hide it from the search page... rather than giving a "hide/ show" option.

The only way I can see how to do this is to select "none" from the search_type field.
But I need a way to do this without breaking the search function.

edited because of stupdity...lol.....my stupidity...

ive done it and it still shows
shows the table and says hide/show

OPPPS....
am I bad? you are completely correct....
I am wrong. Not the first time.. to be sure...
I was doing 3 things at once and read your post incorrectly.

So sorry for that.....

Todd

to hide fields on search.php, use phpMyAdmin - and edit the

Code:

`search_type` enum('none','radio','list','check','daterange','check_set','text') NOT NULL default 'none',

Set it to none.

Thanks smodge... that's right!
But, a word of warning, when I did this with "Looking for sex" it broke my search function!!

Maybe there are other fields that you have to be careful with too??

Yes - that field is a required one for search.
