how to create a search form with multiple fields to combine?

oloccina 02 Nov, 2011
Hello,
I need to create a search form with the below features

1) 2 fields >> "City" and "What to do" (eg. Rome - Eat )

2) each field is a dropdown list to choose from

3) the 2 fields must be combined for the search result (eg. Rome/Eat gives a different search result than Rome/Sleep)

4) when clicking the "submit" button the user get always redirected to an external site, a different link for each search combination. If there is no external site available for the searched terms, then a warning message appears.

I hope the explanation is clear enough... is this possible to achieve for a non-programmer?

Thanks!

Hi Niccolò,

Probably not - at least not without quite a lot of help.

You haven't said what you want to search - that makes a difference too.

well, I want to redirect to different external sites depending on what the user select in the form...

eg.

if the user select "Rome" AND "Eat" he is redirected to external site 1 page 2
if the user select "Rome" AND "Sleep" he is redirected to external site 1 page 3
if the user select "New York" AND "Sleep" he is redirected to external site 2 page 2
if the user select "Amsterdam" AND "Theaters" he is redirected to external site 3 page 2

and so on...

if I hire a programmer to do create this form, chronoforms will still be the right solution for what I want to achieve?

Hi oloccina,

I'm still not clear how the search terms are linked to the external URLs but yes this could be built in ChronoForms.
