Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to follow the information on scripts.webmastersite.net/w...nks/wsnmanual/articles/201 (manual)

I've tried to filter my listings by state. {LINKLSTATE} but need to give the user the choice from a drop down.

I tried to add a sample of my code but the forum keeps changing it, so I've had to put a : where there should be a = after form action.

<form action:"index.php?action=displaycat&catid=20&filter=lstate" method="post">
Show Only Listings in this
<select name="filtervalue" class="body">
<option value="" selected>State</option>
<option value="CA">California</option>
<option value="CO">Colorado</option>
</SELECT>
<input type="submit" value="Filter" class="button">
</form>

I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't seem to find it.

Filtering does >= and optionally <=. There isn't a filtering option for = or string comparison that I recall, so that'd be why it doesn't work.

It seems to me that a simple search, not needing to involve refinement etc as you were before, would be fine for showing results in a category for a state. As the manual entry says, just reconstruct what you'd type on the advanced search page changing the form variables into url variables.
