[Support request] Search filter

[Joe]

Hello,

I have installed the following search filter on an overview page for hotel operations (https://rockt.joewp.com/betriebe/). The code is as follows:

add_shortcode (‘search’, ‘tu_search_shortcode’);
function tu_search_shortcode () {
ob_start ();
get_search_form ();
$ ret = ob_get_contents ();
ob_end_clean ();
return $ ret;
}

this will filter individual pages.

I want to limit the filtering to results from the slug /veranstalter/. Is that possible and can the above code be adapted accordingly?

The search results e.g. for the search for “Hotel Schweizerhof” should look like this: https://rockt.joewp.com/veranstalter/hotel-schweizerhof-bern/ you can see this when you click on the first picture link.

I am thankful for any help.

Best regards

Hi there,

That basically gives you a shortcode that outputs a search form.

Are you wanting that search form to only search something specific? What is /veranstalter/, exactly? A category? Where will this search form display?

Hi Tom,

the search form should be integrated on the following page: https://rockt.joewp.com/betriebe/. Approx. 400 companies are set up there and scrolling would be very cumbersome without a search filter.

The search form should look for the specific page of the hotel business. These pages look like this: https://rockt.joewp.com/veranstalter/hotel-schweizerhof-bern/. You can see this when you click on the first picture on the page https://rockt.joewp.com/betriebe/.

So if the user searches for “Schweizerhof Bern”, the exact page should be displayed: https://rockt.joewp.com/veranstalter/hotel-schweizerhof-bern/. This page is an overview page generated from the “The Events Calendar” plugin and we integrate it in the individual containers on the Companies page: https://rockt.joewp.com/betriebe/.

I can gladly give you access to the dashboard if that helps.

best regards
Joe

Hi Tom,

do you have no idea for a solution?

Hi there,

sorry for the delay in responding, your previous reply slipped through our system.

I am not that familiar with Tribe Events, but a quick couple of searches show there is a Venues single post type:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/venue-and-organizer-pages/

I would assume if theres a single post type then there should/could be an archive page for them. That would make displaying and filtering the list a much simpler process. Have you checked with Tribe to see if this is an option ?
