Advanced search options
By zerocool22
Hello,
I am trying to set up a elgg website wherer you can look for workers: for example (plumpers, painters, ...) But I would also like to search in location on top of job type. For example I would like to search all members that are "painters" and that live in "Belgium". I have created fields on the profile where the user need to choose what kind of worker he is.
yoursite.com/search?q=painter&entity_type=user&search_type=entities
This can be used to search for painters, but how to add a location? Is there a advanced search page plugin or something, or something pretty easy to build?
Thanks!

ok thanks, can you help me with this? I am do not know any php. And I am looking to create a new page. That searches this job (painter) and from country (belgium).
Where do I even start, I know html. But there it stops.
Thanks
update anybody?
might want to talk to DhrupDeScoop he did one for me but it was not a free plugin. It might cost you a few bucks but it was worth it!
If you dont know any php, your solution is to post it in http://community.elgg.org/groups/profile/75603/professional-services and hire a developer.
