esmartsOk This may be a looser question but it is driving me crazy. I have just updated my plugin wp-direct to work with WP 2.6.
The search function seemed to work for me (well I thought I checked it)
Here is what the search function is reportedly doing.
When the search function is used for the plugin it only returns as like a page refresh. )No Search results just page refresh. So I am went looking deeper for changes made from the Old WP to now and have not found a change in code on how to call a wp_query for searching.
So my question is...
Can someone look at this code and tell me why it would just return like a page refresh.
function format_base() {
$base = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$base = preg_replace("/&wp_dir=(.*)&?/","",$base);
$base = preg_replace("/&cat_id=(.*)&?/","",$base);
$base = preg_replace("/&sub_cat_id=(.*)&?/","",$base);
$base = preg_replace("/wpdir-(.*)\/?/","",$base);
$base = rtrim($base, "/");
$base = $base."/";
return $base;
}
function get_search_results() {
$search = $_REQUEST['search_term'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ".$this->db_pre."sites WHERE deleted = '0' AND enabled = '1' AND title LIKE '%$search%' OR description LIKE '%$search%'";
$res = wp_query($sql);
return $res;
}
function show_search_front() {
$m = "";
$base = $this->format_base();
$search_term = $_REQUEST['search_term'];
$search_term = $this->format_for_url($base);
$m .= "<div align='right'><form method=\"post\" action=\"$base/wpdir-search/\" name=\"easy_search\">
Directory Search <input type=\"text\" name=\"search_term\" value=\"{$_REQUEST['search_term']}\" size=\"30\" />
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"search\" value=\"Search\" />
</form></div>";
return $m;
}
function format_for_url($string){
$string = strtolower($string);
$string = str_replace(" ", "-", $string);
return $string;
}
