Search form does not respect the last data by GET method

[Sam.K]

The bug exists also on the demo site.

How to reproduce the bug:

1- Go to Admin Panel > Listing Types > Edit Type "Classifieds" (https://classifieds.demoflynax.com/a...t&key=listings)
There make sure that you chose "GET" method for: Search Settings > Submit method

2- Now try to seach something via the search form here: https://classifieds.demoflynax.com/classifieds.html
for example: choose category "Books"

3- You will see the result and the search form next to it with no pre-selected category "Books"!
Here also if you seach again for category "Books", the result page shows the search form without pre-selecting the category you have chosen before.


Simply the Search Form cannot handle the default form data with method GET. (with method POST, it works)


Could you please let me know how to solve it? It is a serious bug for us.

Thank you so much for your support.

Hello Sam,

If you want to solve it now on your site you can do it yourself.
Open file: ftp://templates>>your_template>>tpl>>blocks>>fields_sear ch_box.tpl

find code:

Only registered members can view the code.

and replace to:

save and check again.

Hi Viktor

That has solved the issue. Thank you for your quick solution.

By the way, I do not know why the Search Box on homepage is always set to POST. Could it be something related to this issue?

If I want a quick fix, is it okay if I just change the method to GET in "home_content.tpl"? From my side, t seems it is working. But I am not sure about more consequences.

What is the benefit of using GET instead of POST?

For example, with GET you can make some specifically useful links for users to navigate faster. As an example you can make such links "Bikes in Washington", "Apartments with 2 bed rooms", etc.

I see, thank you for your explanation.
