Using an "any"-value for requesting categories

[frme]

Greetings!

I've since last time managed to solve all the multi-national network id's. Now i've gone for a reconstruction of the theme that my client has - in order to make it work better with Datafeedr's factory.

I've through a few custom functions managed to retrieve all of my categories & merchants, and thus inserting them into my advanced-search formular. (see http://grillmekka.dk/store upper left corner - store ID: 32591)

Yet - the request query doesn't seem to be able to handle an empty "c=" value. If the user doesn't select a category from the dropdown, it's supposed to search every category avaliable - but should i create a function that outputs every single category-id for the "empty" option value, or is there some other smart way of doing this? Been searching for a few hours now with no luck.

That's it for me for now, hope you can help.

Hi

The c value can't be empty. You can exclude it or you can set a default value but it can't be "c=blank".

Hey Eric, thanks for the quick reply.

My question now would then be: how do i exclude it from the query if a value has not been selected in the dropdown? I'm using a modified text module with the advanced search datafeedr tags on my front page.

Would i have to write my own function to output the url for the form? and if so, how?

Thanks.

Hi

This I'm not sure about... If the form field is there, the name parameter gets sent in the form. Writing your own function might be the only solution.
