    Hi –

    I am trying to put a search shortcode on the home page, and put the results on a different page. I’ve been trying this for a while,and haven’t had any success.

    Is there something obvious that I’m missing? The application is a sports player injury database.

    The home page, short code is:
    [pdb_search search_fields=player target_page=injuries]

    The target page is a simple list shortcode [pdb_list]

    I looked in the debug log, and there is no filter being passed.

    [08/12/20 12:08pm CDT]
    PDb_List::_setup_iteration list query: SELECT p.id, p.last_updated, p.school, p.pos, p.player, p.injury, p.status, p.last_played, p.return_date, p.notes, p.delete_record FROM wp_p6k0dawd10_participants_database p ORDER BY p.school ASC

    Did you take a look at the page on our site on using the search shortcode? Take a look if you have not, it will help you understand how this shortcode works and how to configure it.

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I’ve ready it and believe I have followed it perfectly. That’s what is confusing me as to why it is not working.

    When I do the search on the Home page – it goes to the target page for results, but there is no search filter passed. Its simply showing the whole list each time.

    Did you check the “target_instance” value? It won’t work if that is not correct. This is explained on that page under “Targeting the Result List”

    Ok – I will check target_instance. I thought that was only need if there were 2 instances on the results page. Thanks again.

    I did some tests and it appears there is a problem with this. I will probably need to issue an update to get this working.

    I just checked, and put the target instance in the target page. I looked in Chrome debugging tools and the Home page (location of the search shortcode) is not POSTing the filter to the target page.

    For now, you can get this working by deselecting the “Enable AJAX Search Functionality” setting in the main plugin settings under the advanced tab.
