Can I do this with Textpattern?

Hi everyone,
I need to know if I can build a page like this in Textpattern:
A page with advanced search

The site needs to have a reserved area and members management!
Are there any solution to this requirements?

Thanks!

Re: Can I do this with Textpattern?

To be honest, that’s hard work with the standard textpattern tools. You can get some of the way there with glz_custom_fields and categories/sections and adi_gps and a carefully constructed page template but for the full-blown multi-tick-box variant you’re into smd_query territory and home-grown MySQL queries there, I think.

For member’s area see this thread from earlier this morning.

Hi

I think it’s doable with txp,

create your form and then use adi_gps to get the information and there us smd_if to try diferent possibilties, use category article for drop down menu and custom field to check if the article is in the scope (with smd_if of course )

Cheers

Re: Can I do this with Textpattern?

i will agree that it’s hard to do with txp because i tried a site a few years ago with glz custom fields and hit a roadblock on this very feature. however, i can see the logic in dragondz idea though.
