Hi, First of all, I'd like to thank everyone in advance for taking the time to read this, and hopefully help me out.
I have a form with 2 fields:
<form action="http://www.mysite.com/blah" method="post">
<input type="text" name="VST1" id="VST1" /><input type="text" name="VST2" id="VST2" />
<input type="submit" value="ok"/>
</form>
I'd LIKE to create a function that:
- fetches the two values from the form (VST1 & VST2)
- query posts to see if any have these 2 exact values as tags
- if post exists with these two tags, it exits function and displays post
- if post with tags does not exist, it exits and displays another url
Any help with putting together this function/query would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

ok, so I have the first part of the function working (1 + 2), which is:
<?php
$tgs = array();
$tgs[] = get_query_var('VST1');
$tgs[] = get_query_var('VST2');
$tags = implode(",",$tgs);
query_posts('tag='.$tags);
?>
now I just need to work it out so it displays the entire post, not just the post url, and then I'll go from there. Any ideas?

I noticed that the query works perfectly well but if I divide pages for the search result pages do not work ..
Merge your query parameters with those that exist for the current query already, ie. paging values, etc..
<?php
// Args as array
$args = array( 'tag__in' => array(
get_query_var('VST1'),
get_query_var('VST2')
) );
// Merge args with existings args
$args = array_merge( $args, $wp_query->query );
// Pass args into query
query_posts( $args );
?>
Hope that helps..

Thanks Mark...
the code that I've used is:
<?php
$tgs = array();
$tgs[] = get_query_var('VST1');
$tags = implode(",",$tgs);
query_posts('tag='.$tags);
?>
and it works fine but the pagination does not work, if I click on the second page I see the rest of the post but always those of the first page.
excuse my English but I'm Italian :)

The result of the first page of this research is:

The second this:
http://www.artofweb.it/help/2.jpg
as you can see nothing changes..
Did you try the code provided?

// Args as array
$args = array( 'tag__in' => array(
get_query_var('VST1')
) );
// Merge args with existings args
$args = array_merge( $args, $wp_query->query );
// Pass args into query
query_posts( $args );
?>
Are you registering the two query vars you're trying to fetch?
VST1 and VST2..
Does echo get_query_var('VST1'); give any result?

Hi Mark,
I use 'VST1' will use only because I need only a search string!
If you put this code in your file.
Translation: Se mettete questo codice, nel vostro file.
echo get_query_var('VST1');
Is a value shown on the page?
Translation: È un valore indicato sulla pagina?

nothing, I always return the same result
Try using..
$_POST['VST1']
Is this code running on the page your form submits to? That's the URL the form's action points at..
<form action="http://where?"

Thanks for the help Mark,
but I can not figure out where I enter the code that I've posted. I attach the code I used to run my search page. "VST1"is replaced by "s". Anyway it works perfectly and I can only do research just like I wanted to tag, the only problem is paging.
<form method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><input type="text" size="20" class="search-field-teaser" name="s" id="s" value="" onfocus="if(this.value == '') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = '';}"/>
<button type="submit" value="Search" class="search-go fancy_button"><span>Cerca</span></button></p>
</form>
<?php
$tgs = array();
$tgs[] = get_query_var('s');
$tags = implode(",",$tgs);
query_posts('tag='.$tags);
?>
Thanks again for your patience..

Or would you know you suggest a method to search only in the tags?
This code will search for tags that have a name like the search term, if any are found the query is updated to pull posts with those tags instead..
$search_term = get_query_var('s');
// If there's a search term
if( $search_term ) {
// Look for tags with a name like the search term
$search_tags = get_terms( 'post_tag', array( 'fields' => 'ids', 'name__like' => '%' . like_escape( esc_sql( $search_term ) ) . '%' ) );
// If tags were found
if( !is_wp_error( $search_tags ) && !empty( $search_tags ) ) {
// Update the query to fetch posts that have those tags instead
$args = array_merge( array( 'tag__in' => $search_tags ), $wp_query->query );
// Reset the s query var so WordPress doesn't do the regular search query
$args['s'] = '';
// NOTE: You need the array merge to preserve other query parameters
query_posts( $args );
}
}
Tested the code to, so i know it works... ;)

I do not look for tags, but fishing in the entire content of the post..
I'm going crazy ;(
Maybe there is something else wrong ...
How do I show the whole page?
Thanks again

The code you sent me work!!!
I just have to be able to remove the search in the content of the post, I need only search tags
The code i provided just goes into your search.php, it only searches tags, if it finds no matches for tags, then it doesn't do anything (ie. the normal search takes over).
Can i see the code from the whole file you're doing this in please.
http://wordpress.pastebin.com/
Paste all the code from the file you are working on into a pastebin(link above) and report the link back here please.

Thanks Mark,
one could not exclude the normal search for the tag and just leave?
http://wordpress.pastebin.com/TSTXpDEv
When do you want the tag search code to run?
Do you want to replace the regular search, or use tag search under a special condition?
Translation (via the web):
Quando vuoi il tag di eseguire codice ricerca?
Vuoi per sostituire la ricerca regolare, o usare i tag ricerca in una condizione speciale?

I want to search only the tag!
So that the search only works with those
Redirect to a 404 when no tags match?
$search_term = get_query_var('s');
// If there's a search term
if( $search_term ) {
// Look for tags with a name like the search term
$search_tags = get_terms( 'post_tag', array( 'fields' => 'ids', 'name__like' => '%' . like_escape( esc_sql( $search_term ) ) . '%' ) );
// If tags were found
if( !is_wp_error( $search_tags ) && !empty( $search_tags ) ) {
// Update the query to fetch posts that have those tags instead
$args = array_merge( array( 'tag__in' => $search_tags ), $wp_query->query );
// Reset the s query var so WordPress doesn't do the regular search query
$args['s'] = '';
// NOTE: You need the array merge to preserve other query parameters
query_posts( $args );
}
else {
wp_redirect( get_bloginfo('home') . '/404' );
}
}

Hi Mark,
you know why this code does not work on wordpress 3.1.2?
<?php
$search_term = get_query_var('s');
// If there's a search term
if( $search_term ) {
// Look for tags with a name like the search term
$search_tags = get_terms( 'post_tag', array( 'fields' => 'ids', 'name__like' => '%' . like_escape( esc_sql( $search_term ) ) . '%' ) );
// If tags were found
if( !is_wp_error( $search_tags ) && !empty( $search_tags ) ) {
// Update the query to fetch posts that have those tags instead
$args = array_merge( array( 'tag__in' => $search_tags ), $wp_query->query );
// Reset the s query var so WordPress doesn't do the regular search query
$args['s'] = '';
// NOTE: You need the array merge to preserve other query parameters
query_posts( $args );
}
}
?>
