    The default setting is a search bar with 3 fields on the main page.

    Name (free text search)
    Category (Drop Down)
    Location (free text search)

    I want to replace „location“ with a second „category“ filter to have it look like this:

    Name (free text search)
    Category A (Drop Down)
    Category B (Drop Down)

    How to get there?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi,
    What do you mean by Category A and Category B? there is only one type of category is available for a listing item and you can’t add another type of category to listing item. But what you can do is you can create a custom field with dropdown options from Directorist setting and assign it to search bar.

    Here are the steps:
    1. Go to “Directory Listing > Custom Fields”.
    2. Add New Field
    3. Give it a name in title field
    4. Set field type to “Select”
    5. Place the values of this field in “Options” field
    6. From “Display Options” section set “Include this field in the search form?” option to yes.
    7. Publish

    To remove location field go to “Directory Settings > Search Settings” uncheck location from “Search Fields”.

    Additionally you can always keep filters field open by setting “Open Filter Fields” option to “Always Open”

    Hi,

    first off thank you for replying.

    I did your steps and nothing actually changed…let me try to simplify my need with an example. Let’s say the content of the page is a directory of cars. On the first page I want three search fields.

    1. Text (you can type in the name of the car)
    2. Drop down field with available colors you can select
    3. Drop down field with available engines you can select
