anyone?

I have two select fields(one for metakey/value and one for category) one input field(for post name) in a custom search page.

I have written the code for both

<?php
$location = $_POST[“location”];
$product = $_POST[“product”];
$category = $_POST[“cat”];
$catname = get_cat_name($category);
?>

<!– if custom field location is mentioned Category is not Mentioned –>
<?php
if($location!=”All” && $category==0) {
$query = “meta_key=specs&meta_value=” . $location;
$my_query = new WP_Query($query); ?>

<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endwhile; } ?>

<!– if category and location both are mentioned –>
<?php
if($category!=0 && $location!=”All”) {
$query = “meta_key=specs&meta_value=” . $location . “&category_name=” . $catname;
$my_query = new WP_Query($query); ?>

<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endwhile; } ?>

Now, I need to get posts based on postname($product) and from a specific category($catname). Also, based on postname and the post with the give meta_key/value pair. Lastly all three.

Thanks Michael.

anyone !!

not working for me..

Yes I am using that plugin as of now. But, I want to hard code it into the template.

Hey,

I figured out a way to solve this pagination problem on some forum.
here’s the solution to those have the same problem.

go to wp-includes/classes.php
find
if ( isset($error) )
$this->query_vars[‘error’] = $error;

under it you need to place the following

if (@$this->query_vars[“name”] == “page”)
{
$tmp_ar = $this->query_vars;
$this->query_vars = array();
$this->query_vars[“paged”] = str_replace(“/”, “”, $tmp_ar[“page”]);
$this->query_vars[“category_name”] = $tmp_ar[“category_name”];
}
