Hi,

I have a template which has an search screen at the homepage.

At this moment it uses the normal field to search but i want it to use the fields that i created with ACF. I do not know what i should change.

Could someone please help me with this?

Here is my advanced.search.php

<?php
/**
* Advanced Search Template
*
* @package WP Pro Real Estate 5
* @subpackage Template
*/

global $ct_options;
$layout = $ct_options[‘ct_homepage_adv_search’][‘enabled’];

?>

<h3 class=”marT0 marB0″><?php _e(‘Find your new home’, ‘contempo’); ?></h3>
<p class=”marB0″><?php $count_posts = wp_count_posts(‘listings’); $published_listings = $count_posts->publish; ?><?php echo $published_listings ?> <?php _e(‘Real Estate Listings, Homes for Sale & Rental Properties.’, ‘contempo’); ?></p>

<form id=”advanced_search” name=”search-listings” action=”<?php echo home_url(); ?>”>

<?php

if ($layout) :

foreach ($layout as $key=>$value) {

switch($key) {

// Type

Old question, you’ve probably moved on. I’m just trying to clear up some older questions.

Anyway, I’m not going to go into all the details, but hopefully get other people looking to solve a similar question headed in the right direction.

In a case like this the first thing you need to do is edit the advanced search form to add the new fields that you want to use. Then next step would be finding where the query is run using these fields and alter that query to include you new fields and values. There really isn’t enough information available in the OP to go into more detail than this.

Hope that helps someone.
