SimpleMap Plugin Search Form WordPress

• SOLVED

Hey Fellas,
I just started using the SimpleMap plugin but am wondering if anyone knows how to send form data from a different page to the page which shows the map (Example below)


(Home page) - Search form
>
On Submit
>
(Another Page) - Showing Map and Results


At the moment it just shows everything on the one page.


Plugin Link:
[[LINK href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simplemap/"]][[/LINK]]

Thanks in advance!

your plugin link is missing , also please explain your question , do you want to show the result to a different page , then

try <form method="post" action="url of the page" >


see action ="url of the page" just replace this text with the url of the page where you want to send the result after submission

like action = "http://mysite.com/result-page"

let me know if you have any question

Heres the link to the plugin - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simplemap/

I'm not sure if that will work because it updates the map via AJAX or something.

and yes. Results on a different page.

I've added in the search form with the correct action etc but when the form submits it goes to the page but displays no results.

Here is one easy way:

Just use the Simplemap widget search form (Appearance > Widgets)
and place it on your special page with for example "Widgets on pages" plugin

[[LINK href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widgets-on-pages/"]]http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widgets-on-pages/[[/LINK]]

You can then put this shortcode into your page to display the Simplemap search

[widgets_on_pages]

ps:
you can than view the html source of the generated widget search form.
- this way you can also see the correct html code if you want to modify the form any further
