Search: Option to choose category to search in

[slant213]

Sorry this is a bit of a thick question, but how do I add my categories to the Search Function where currently only All Categories is displayed?

As in it says,

Select categories
You can search one category, all or select multiple categories from the list below.

So how do I make it multiple.

Hold Shift while selecting multiples in a list box.

Sorry,

but ( i think i got your post) i don't want to select multiple categories, there is currently only one option which is "All Categories" but I want to add more category options, so for example it reads

"Select categories
You can search one category, all or select multiple categories from the list below:

All Categories
Category A
Category B
Category C... etc."

I don't know how to add more of the categories i have added to the application since buying it.

hope this is clearer.

Ok, the problem is that the option box is built with the same code that the upload option box is built by. The code that builds this option box looks at what type of upload you are doing (for sale, wanted...) then only shows the cats with that type in the drop down. The problem is that when you search you want all the categories displayed. Here is a quick fix to get you by for now.

In pp-inc.php look for

Content visible to verified customers only.

After it put

Content visible to verified customers only.

This will tell the page that you are searching and not to add the $temptype value to the query when building the drop down box.
