Client is saying they'd like a "We're looking up your request" page for when the search is happening on their site. (Think Orbitz or Priceline when you enter a destination and hit "search" and you get a screen that says "Please wait")
Is this something that can be done with PT? If so, can someone point me to a forum post if there is one? I tried to search for this but if I don't know the correct terminology...
Thanks,
Chris
Hello Chris,
One way to do this would be to display a DIV using DHTML on the submit event of the search form. To try this, look for the following code at line 2 of html/searchform.php:
<form name='search' action='<?php print $config_baseHREF ?>search.php'>...and REPLACE with:
<?php$searchingHTML = "<div id='searching2' style='position:absolute; background-color:#CCC; width:300px;padding:100px;border:1px solid #000;text-align:center;'>Search in progress<br /><br />Please wait...</div>";
?>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function search_onsubmit()
{
document.getElementById("searching1").innerHTML = "<?php print $searchingHTML; ?>";
var searching2 = document.getElementById("searching2");
searching2.style.left = ((window.innerWidth / 2) - 250) + "px";
searching2.style.top = ((window.innerHeight / 2) - 200) + "px";
return true;
}
</script>
<span id='searching1'></span>
<form name='search' onsubmit='return search_onsubmit()' action='<?php print $config_baseHREF ?>search.php'>
Simply change the HTML within the $searchingHTML variable to contain whatever you wish to display (perhaps including a logo for example).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
