Hi all,
I am hoping somone can help me (or just post the solution) with a custom search I want to use on my site. I keeping running into walls.
Here's the deal: My site is customized WSN where teachers can submit teaching ideas for different subjects and grade levels. References to "links' have been changed to "tips" I am using WSN more of a database than a links directory. Anyway, I have created a custom field called {LINKLEVEL} where teachers can select (or multiselect) the grade level that their teaching idea is most appropriate for using the checkbox option. Their grade level options are:
All
PreK-K
1st-2nd
3rd-4th
5th-6th
I want the main search tool on each page to be where the teacher selects the grade level desired from a drop down list (with "All" being the default) and then enter in a text field the keywords they are looking for. The search results will of course show links (teaching tips) with those key words at that level.
I have tried modifying the advanced search from that template but I keep screwing up when it comes to my custom field.
ANY help is greatly appreciated.
If you want to look at the site you may do so at http://www.teachertipsheaven.com but understand that it is still heavily under construction.
TIA!!!
