Thanks.

Hello Jose Bonilla,

You may add this field in search form in admin panel>>Search forms. Choose form and click build icon. Then you will see all fields but you can find 'US States' and click green plus for add this field in search form.
if you want create new states for other country go to Admin panel >> Data Formats click add new data format. After added you will see your new data format in grid click build icon around and add your states. Then go to Listing fields add new field with type Dropdown List and below you can see all data formats. Select your States. Then you can add your new field in category for show in add listings forms and add this field in search form too.

Thanks Victor for your quick reply.

I did created a new Data Format called R.D States and new states was added using manage icon. Then I went to Listings Fields and added a new Dropdown which I bind with the Datat Format that I called R.D States, I also added in the quick search form, up to this point I am doing ok.

But this line below could not figure this out.

**Then you can add your new field in category for show in add listings forms and add this field in search form too**

How do I add new field in category?

Please provide me with this steps.

Thanks

think he means add it to your category build a submit form

Hello Jose Bonilla,

Yes Chris is correct understood me. You can go to Admin panel >> categories find general category or simple category and click build icon and click 'Build a Submit Form' then add your new field in.
It needs for see this field when users will add listings and select States for his listings and then other users want to find this listings from search form. :)

Thanks Viktor,

I follow your advise and added the fields in the categories, when I am uploading an Auto I am able to select the State from the Dropdown that was created, and was added to the quick search as well. But when I go to search Autos from specific State it only shows 3 Autos, eventhough there is more than 3 that I personally uploaded.

Hello Viktor,

I just figure this out and is working, but has small issues still, when I search by Provincia (State) La Altagracia it shows 19 Autos found, these are the ones added after the Search by State category was added. And display Page 1 of 2, It shows 10 auto per page, but when you click on page 2 it does not show any Files, just the Search Form.

Please take a look and tell me how to fix it.

Thanks
