Search through URL
-
Hello fellow developers
I was trying to get the WPPA Plus plugin to work in all aspects of my website (amazing plugin, btw) and ran into an issue.
I need to display the search results for a particular search term on a hyperlink.
For example, I want to link the page http://…./red to the search results for red, etc.
When I search using the WPPA Album or photo search widgets, the landing page always has the same url that does not change with “q=xyz” like in a search engine like Google, if that makes sense.
Does anybody have a workaround for this?
Thanks a ton!

The problem with this that i do not know how to distinguish ‘kimmy’ and ‘hpim’ from being either a search toker or being a regular wp sub-page.
Could you use a construction like being used for super-search: (example):
https://wppa.nl/docs-by-subject/search/super-search/?occur=1&wppa-supersearch=p,t,,organ
meaning: dsiplay on the page ‘super-search’ photos(p), with in the text(t), the word ‘organ’
(the extra , is for constructions like: &wppa-supersearch=p,e,EH011A,180/1
meaning: photos(p), with exiftag(e) 0x011A(EH) having the value ‘180/1’).I could perhaps work on making this link more ‘pretty’…
That is exactly what I wanted. Thanks a ton!
There is another issue I have been struggling with, namely, how to make the description a constant for every picture.
I would like something like this:
<table><tbody> <tr><td>w#cc0</td><td>w#cd0</td></tr> <tr><td>w#cc1</td><td>w#cd1</td></tr> <tr><td>w#cc2</td><td>w#cd2</td></tr> <tr><td>w#cc3</td><td>w#cd3</td></tr> </table></tbody>[Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button.]
for all the photo descriptions. I’m thinking there must be a way to do it once, and set it and forget it. But I have failed to find the location where I can change it.
Thanks again.
Your search request:
You can do:
https://beta.opajaap.nl/landing/wppaspec/oc1/sslittleor
https://beta.opajaap.nl/landing/wppaspec/oc1/sskimmyor
https://beta.opajaap.nl/landing/wppaspec/oc1/sslittle,kimmyor
https://beta.opajaap.nl/landing/wppaspec/oc1/sslittle kimmyWhere landing is the page,
wppaspec tells the site that the following are arguments rather than sub-pages,
oc1 means this is to be placed at the location of the first occurrance of a wppa shortcode (preferrably[wppa type="landing"][/wppa]). You may change it into oc2 if you want the second wppa shortcode to be used etc,
ss means searchstring,
in the searchstring, a space or a ; means AND, a comma (,) means ORCurrently there is an issue on the breadcrumb bar with this construction (it does not show the searchstring), but that will be fixed in the next version; see the example above on my beta site.
You may expect issues when you combine this with complicated search options like rootsearch and subsearch (see the search widget) because of data stored in the session data, but if you only use this (and possibly supersearch), I do not expect serious issues.
Hi Mr Jacob
I will try variations of these where applicable. Thanks again.
One last question – I have been having issues with displaying the photographer name for each picture, and linking to a photographer list/wall of sorts. I know it is possible using WPPA+, but have only been able to implement it using the last uploaded photos widget. Is there any way I could do this with every photo, as a custom field or otherwise?
