Hi

In a search form instead of using the classical SEARCH button I tried to use a FREE BUTTON field.

The free button was set as a link to the same search list and in the additional custom variables I added:

ci_search_cp=$cck->getValue('ci_search_cp')


Where ci_search_cp is the alias of one of the search form.

however the result url has the "&ci_search_cp=" string with NO value passed.

Am I wrong with my syntax please?

thanks

Search field has no server side value until form is submited so button can't pull this value from form when it is rendered. You would need t do it either client side (js) or server side with event that fires after search form is submited (not sure whether there is one..)

Thanks Klas

actually the whole purpose was to add an anchor to the link of the SEARCH button. Since I didn't find a way to add this anchor I figured I had to use a free button but this time I can't pass variables.

SO I'm back to the first stage: how can I add an anchor to the result page with a search button please ?

which means: how can I generate

http://mydomain/?myparameter=xxx&search=mysearchlist&task=search#anchor

thanks

Sorry, I have no answer on this, it seems custom variables were removed from Save&Close task on buttons submit since I wrote this tutorial https://www.seblod.com/resources/extensions/plug-ins/button-submit-field

Hi Klas

Does someone then knows why custom variables have been removed from the button fields ??

And how can we now add an anchor ?


Thanks
