 * Hi,
    Thanks for taking note of my feedback.
 * Just one more point related to the Class Generator code for widgets. We do not
   have selection for:
    – Timing (linear or easein etc.) – Animation Repeat (twice,
   thrice etc.)
 * These are available when we do animation for Pages.
 * Will appreciate if you can keep me updated on the progress.
 * Thanks & Regards,
    Sailen

 * Hi,
    I am on the development server, hence you may not be able to view.
 * However, I did manage to create a workaround in the last 2 days with another 
   plugin. I created two sets of ALL my buttons & content boxes. In the widgets,
   one set I created exclusively for mobiles, and the other for tabs & desktop (
   with the help of another plugin). Then, on the set for desktops, I added widget
   animations created with your class generator. It has not given me a problem in
   last 24 hours…
 * I am a non coder, but this seems to reinforce my view that your plugin does not
   actually cut off animations on mobile even when disabled from your settings page.
   The other plugin did that correctly when I selected the – hide from mobile view,
   in the widgets. Pl see if any changes are warranted.
 * Another small issue is with the type of entry. If you choose linear it is ok,
   but if you choose easein, it doesn’t work. The short code spells it as ease-in,
   but is ineffective. If you change the spelling to easeIn (with a capital I), 
   it works but hangs after some time. It seems to work correctly only with the 
   word – ease.
 * Anyway, appreciate you support.
 * Regards & Best,

 * Sorry, forgot to share one more observation….
    This problem happens only when
   I create an animation through the ‘Animation Class Generator’ for Widgets. Animations
   created for pages etc. are correctly not displayed on Nokia mobile, if I disable
   the mobile setting in Settings Section.

 * Excellent, Sir. Working fine !!!
    Implemented and tested rigorously…. Heartfelt
   Thanks.
 * Just one last help on this issue, related to styling.
    You already resolved the
   custom field search box **width** issue
 * However, in the search form, the default boxes (for keyword etc.) you provided
   are
    Colour #F2F2F2 Thickness: Approx. 13-14 mm
 * The single select boxes we are getting are
    Colour #FFFFFF Thickness: Approx.
   6-7 mm
 * Pl advise, how to get the single select box to match the original ‘keyword’ box
   in colour/thickness.
 * Many thanks in advance.

 * Hi Greg,
    Thanks, that worked as far as the box size is concerned.
 * However, there seems to be a logical flaw, when using single select fields in
   the search form, rendering it un-usable. The issue is this:
 * When you select max_value = 1, the first choice from the drop-down is shown in
   the field box by default. Now, if the user searches only by keyword or only by
   Location (like a normal OR function in filters) and leaves the other filters 
   untouched, the default value in the ‘single-select’ drop-down will skew the search
   results.
    For e.g., if I am searching for CAR ads in New Delhi, I will type car
   in ‘keyword’ & New Delhi in ‘location’. BUT if the category filter is set to ‘
   property’ as a first choice by default, then there will be no results as there
   will be a clash between ‘cars’ & ‘property’ (both being disjoint sets).
 * In MULTI-SELECT max_value = 2, this issue is resolved, because there is no default
   selection in category/custom field. There is a ‘placeholder’ text, which does
   not impinge on the OR filter function.
 * Not sure if there can be a solution to this immediately or my understanding is
   fully correct. In my opinion, if we can get to put a placeholder text even for
   max_value = 1 scenario, then the issue will be resolved, as there will be no 
   default selection in drop-downs to skew the results.
 * Will appreciate to have your thoughts on this.
 * For the time being, I will implement all the category/custom drop-downs in the
   search form with max_value = 2
 * Kind Regards,

 * Hi Greg,
    Thanks. Actually I am working on my development server (localhost),
   so am unable to provide link I have taken a screen grab of the adverts list page
   but do not know where to put it. If you can help me with a email address I will
   be thankful.
 * [http://pastebin.com/xhzA4st0](http://pastebin.com/xhzA4st0)
 * Above is pastebin link to additional code I have put in functions.php file on
   account of search. This was deleted by moderator above. If you putit in one of
   your R&D projects, you will experience the issue. Category & Country fields have
   max_value set to 1, while Subjects is multiple select.
 * Just to describe, whenever I select max choices to 1, the display boxes become
   very small (just the size of the text, like ‘select options’)
    This happens in
   category search, as well as custom fields search.
 * However, the same max_choices works CORRECTLY on the form side (trouble is only
   in search form)
 * Also to eliminate any other plugin influence, I created a new project today morning,
   with just the wpadverts plugin, but the results were same.
 * Many thanks for your help.

 * Hi Greg,
    An update ! The issue causing this problem does not appear to be location
   drop-down code. Rather, whenever I select max_choices for any custom/original
   field to be = 1, the filter stops functioning and also gets distorted.
 * Today, when I selected drop-downs for category, subjects, country to be 1, all
   three got distorted & filter stopped working.
 * Am pasting all the extra code from functions.php file. Have removed the location
   drop-down code for now, as it does not appear to be the root cause.
 * _[Large code excerpt removed by moderator per [forum rules](https://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).
   Please use [Pastebin](https://pastebin.com/) for all large code excerpts. It 
   works better anyway.]_
 * I really need your support to proceed.
    Many thanks in advance.

 * Hi Greg,
    This is the code you advised for category search, which works well
 * Part 1
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'adverts_form_load', 'search_by_category_form_load' );
   
       function search_by_category_form_load( $form ) {
   
           if( $form['name'] != 'search' ) {
               return $form;
           }
   
           $form['field'][] = array(
               "name" => "ad_category",
               "type" => "adverts_field_select",
               "order" => 20,
               "label" => __("Category", "adverts"),
               "max_choices" => 4,
               "options" => array(),
               "options_callback" => "adverts_taxonomies",
               "meta" => array(
                   "search_group" => "visible",
                   "search_type" => "half"
               )
           );
   
           add_action( "wp_footer", "search_by_category_footer" );
   
           return $form;
       }
       ```
   
 * Part 2
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'adverts_list_query', 'search_by_category_query' );
   
       function search_by_category_query( $args ) {
   
           if( ! adverts_request( "ad_category" ) ) {
               return $args;
           }
   
           $args["tax_query"] = array(
               array(
                   'taxonomy' => 'advert_category',
                   'field'    => 'term_id',
                   'terms'    => adverts_request( "ad_category" ),
               ),
           );
   
           return $args;
       }
       ```
   
 * Now on similar lines, this is the code I put for custom field search
    Part 1
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'adverts_form_load', 'search_by_custom_fields_form_load' );
   
       function search_by_custom_fields_form_load( $form ) {
   
           if( $form['name'] != 'search' ) {
               return $form;
           }
   
           $form['field'][] = array(
               "name" => "my_custom_fabric",
               "type" => "adverts_field_select",
               "order" => 20,
               "label" => "Fabric",
       		"max_choices" => 4,
       		"meta" => array(
                   "search_group" => "visible",
                   "search_type" => "half"
       			)
       		"options" => array(
       		    array("value"=>"Silk", "text"=>"Silk"),
       			array("value"=>"Cotton", "text"=>"Cotton"),
                   array("value"=>"Woollen", "text"=>"Woollen"),
   
       			)
       	);
   
       	add_action( "wp_footer", "search_by_custom_fields_footer" );
   
           return $form;
       }
       ```
   
 * And code for Part 2 is
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'adverts_list_query', 'search_by_custom_fields' );
   
       function search_by_custom_fields( $args ) {
         $cz = array("my_custom_fabric"); // <- more fields here
         foreach($cz as $name) {
           if( ! adverts_request( $name ) ) {
             continue;
           }
   
           if( ! isset( $args["meta_query"] ) ) {
             $args["meta_query"] = array();
           }
   
           $args['meta_query'][] = array(
             'key'     => $name,
             'value'   => adverts_request( $name ),
           );
         }
   
         return $args;
       }
       ```
   
 * The error message I get is
 * > Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘”options”‘ (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING),
   > expecting ‘)’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\ad\wp-content\plugins\wpadverts\includes\functions.
   > php on line 1834
 * Probably, the meta is giving some problem. In the category search, there was 
   a callback function and there were no dropdown choices in options array…..
 * Many thanks for your help.

 * Hi Rajdeep,
    A request please. Can you pl share the exact code you used for searching
   any one of the custom fields you used (adding the search box as well as for doing
   actual search) I seem to be doing something wrong, my display is not coming correctly.
   I am not able to insert meta data piece of code.
 * Before bothering Greg again, I want to check our codes apple to apple.
