Topic: Changing search examples & Disable location drop box on post page

Hi!

A couple things,

First off, I love the script and am very thankful that it is free!

I would like to know if you could point me in the right direction as to where I can change the search examples underneath the search bar as my site is directed towards one city only.

Same with when posting a job, I would like to disable the drop box menu for location in the "post a job" area.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

We're glad that you like it!

To change that text, open _includes/translations.ini and search for [search]. Edit the text that you find 2 lines below it (example = "(e.g. ....")

As for your other issue: the simplest solution is to remove all the cities from inside the admin panel and leave only the city that you need. Then, open _templates/default/publish-write.tpl and find the following line

Code:
<select name="city_id" id="city_id" tabindex="3"

Go up 3 lines and add replace

Code:
<tr>

with

Code:
<tr {if $cities|@count == 1}style="display: none;"{/if}>

This will hide the Location row from the post form.

Does this fit your needs?

Hey thanks for the guidance!

The only thing...

When I replaced <tr> with <tr {if $cities|@count > 1}style="display: none;"{/if}>

Nothing happened...

I still can't get rid of that dang drop box! lol

It works good but would like to be done with the drop box for looks!

Thanks!

Sorry, my bad.

You should put there @count == 1 instead of @count > 1

I tested the code on my computer but I have many cities and I had to twist the condition a little so that the combo is hidden. With the above change, it should be fine, though. Note that I've also edited the code in my first post.

Thanks again!

So in conclusion what I did was replace "<select>" with an "<option>" tag... then changed the "location_anywhere" value in translations.ini to "my city" from " and it is perfect!

This got rid of the drop box and still displays my location while posting a job.

Kudos on the service! A free product and still great support. Can't even find this kinda service from any expensive paid for products out there!

Thanks again for all your help!
