[SOLVED] Add dynamic filtering content with dropdown in Skyscrapers

[gregory]

Hi guys.
In Skyscrapers search-form.php, I have added a select to filter the contents based on an Option (type) field.

				<div class='uk-form-row'>
					<label class='uk-form-label' for='search_tipologia'>Tipologia</label>
					<div class='uk-form-controls'>
						<select id="search-tipologia" name="tipologia" class="uk-select">
							<option value="">Qualsiasi</option>
								<?php
									foreach(array('Bed and Breakfast', 'Agriturismo', 'Masseria', 'Hotel') as $range) {
										$selected = $range == $input->tipologia ? " selected='selected'" : '';
										echo "<option$selected value='$range'>$range</option>";
									}
								?>
						</select>
					</div>
				</div>

In the search.php template how can I retrieve the contents?

$selector = '';

// we use this to store the info that generates the summary of what was searched for
// the summary will appear above the search results
$summary = array(
	"city" => "",
	"height" => "",
	"floors" => "",
	"year" => "",
	"keywords" => "",
	"tipologia" => "",
	);

// if a city is specified, then we limit the results to having that city as their parent
if($input->get('city')) {
	$cityName = $sanitizer->pageName($input->get('city'));
	$city = pages("/cities/$cityName/");
	if($city->id) {
		$selector .= "parent=$city, ";
		$summary['city'] = $city->title;
		$input->whitelist('city', $city->name);
	}
}

// if a tipologia is specified how to show the content?
if($input->get('tipologia')) {
<------------------------>
}

// we are allowing these GET vars in the format of 999, 999-9999, or 999+
// so we're using this loop to parse them into a selector
foreach(array('height', 'floors', 'year') as $key) {

Thank You in advance.

Do you mean how you can build the selector for the options field?

Carrying on from above, do you mean how to build the selector? If yes, just append a SANITIZED value (from $input->tipologia) to query your options field as well. E.g. $selector .= "name_of_options_field={$sanitizedTipologiaSekectorValue}".

Typed quickly in browser and untested.

I think I have solved it this way thanks to your suggestion.

if($input->get('tipologia')) {
	$value = $sanitizer->selectorValue($input->get('tipologia'));
	$selector .= "tipologia={$value}, ";
	$summary["tipologia"] = $sanitizer->entities($value);
	$input->whitelist('tipologia', $value);
}
