Hello Ed,

You cannot do it with default functional. If you want it we can create it as a customization for you.

Hi Viktor!

I thought it was easy to do this, I thought I could add a form through the "Search Form Manager" see the attached image

Unfortunately, not

By default, all search forms are used on listings pages only

Does this mean that all search forms are only shown where ever there are listings (ex: category pages)? I wanted to add a form on the listing type pages.

I currently own the filter plugin, but have not tested this functionality with the filter plugin, but will that allow filters on the listing type pages?

Hello Brian,

Yes, the Category Filter plugin will show on listing type page. Please try to use it.

Ok, but just to be clear...Only the filter plugin will make the filters appear on the listing type page correct? The custom fields (search forms) will NOT work on the listing type pages, correct?

Thank you

Ok,

Thank you Pete! I am preparing to do a full-system clean up anyway...Then I am going to start fresh, and keep it fresh, meaning not carelessly delete listing types as I am beginning to understand their functionality better, It's a lot of work, but fun along the way, I can't wait till I get past this learning curve, but I can already see "The light at the end of the tunnel"!

We can't explain why this feature exists...
