 How to display all news item of a category |
 |
Hi all,
I am trying to display all the news of a category when a user leaves the keyword field blank and selects a certain category. Let say, the latter, leaves the keyword field empty and then selects the game category, once he hits the search button, I would like to have all the news belonging to that category come up as results.
Anyone has any clue how to achieve that?
Thanks in advance.

Try this:
Open search.php and find this:
 | | if ($search){
$template = 'Search';
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
} |
add below:
| | elseif ($search == '' and $category){
$template = 'Search';
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
} |

Mine looks like this:
| | if ($search){
ob_start();
$template = 'Search';
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
$show_news = ob_get_contents();
ob_get_clean();
$show_news = str_replace("?search_boolean=or", "", $show_news);
$show_news = str_replace("?search_boolean=and", "", $show_news);
echo $show_news;
} |
So, while using your boolean search would I be correct to assume that this is what I would want to do to modify this in working condition?
| | if ($search){
ob_start();
$template = 'Search';
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
elseif ($search == '' and $category){
$template = 'Search';
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
$show_news = ob_get_contents();
ob_get_clean();
$show_news = str_replace("?search_boolean=or", "", $show_news);
$show_news = str_replace("?search_boolean=and", "", $show_news);
echo $show_news;
} |

The easiest would be this:
| | if ($search){
ob_start();
$template = 'Search';
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
$show_news = ob_get_contents();
ob_get_clean();
$show_news = str_replace("?search_boolean=or", "", $show_news);
$show_news = str_replace("?search_boolean=and", "", $show_news);
echo $show_news;
}
elseif ($search == '' and $category){
ob_start();
$template = 'Search';
include $cutepath.'/show_news.php';
$show_news = ob_get_contents();
ob_get_clean();
$show_news = str_replace("?search_boolean=or", "", $show_news);
$show_news = str_replace("?search_boolean=and", "", $show_news);
echo $show_news;
} |

Perfect, thanks FI-DD
How come when I select 'All' it doesn't work though? It only works when I specify a specific category from the drop-down with a blank search field. Any idea?

Because there's no category assigned to "All" and the script needs a category.
Try changing this:
| | elseif ($search == '' and $category){ |
to this:
| | elseif ($search == ''){ |
