I have this problem on my advanced search page, i don't like the way the advanced search page appears by default,

so i tried to modify the page, whenever i remove the checkbox & the notbox field i always get an error , and my search results are not correct.

Below are the codes i took from a single field for example purposes (Year of vehicle)

...So my question is what ways can i make the advanced search work properly.
Before edit

{BEGIN Year_of_Vehicle_fieldblock}Year of Vehicle<INPUT type=checkbox{$Year_of_Vehicle_notbox}>{$searchtype_Year_of_Vehicle}{$Year_of_Vehicle_editcontrol} {$Year_of_Vehicle_editcontrol1}{END Year_of_Vehicle_fieldblock}
After Edit

{BEGIN Year_of_Vehicle_fieldblock}Year of Vehicle{$searchtype_Year_of_Vehicle}{END Year_of_Vehicle_fieldblock}

Hi,

I want to remove all controls including search type, but i noticed my year field is working properly when i include the search type, if it is possible, i will like to exclude it but if i cant exclude it, then i would like to know how to edit the values in the search type controls fields, maybe reduce it.

Thanks

Hi,
you can change number of search options in the Search page: Before display event on the Events tab.

Here is a sample:

// write search options

$options="";

$options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"Equals\" ".(($opt=="Equals")?"selected":"").">Equals</option>";

$options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"More than ...\" ".(($opt=="More than ...")?"selected":"").">More than ...</option>";

$searchtype = "<SELECT ID=\"SearchOption\" NAME=\"asearchopt_FieldName\" SIZE=1 onChange=\"return ShowHideControls();\">";

$searchtype .= $options;

$searchtype .= "</SELECT>";

$xt->assign("searchtype_FieldName",$searchtype);
