A few questions about modifying location search bar.

Hi, first of all; thank you very much for your reply.

Here what I did; https://www.matematikozelders.com/

On the top of this site, you can see I have modified the search bar of vantage theme as for using just location searchbox (lcs). I removed the other search box which was next to lcs’s left side.

Now, I got this location search box’s php code from root directory, /wp-content/themes/appthemes-vantage/searchform-listing.php

You can see the code I got from that php file below;

<?php
/**
 * The listing search form template file
 *
 * @package Vantage
 * @since 4.0.0
 */

$search_query = '';

// If search is for listings, fill in the search query value.
// This is to prevent the blog search from populating this.
if ( isset( $_GET[ 'ls' ] ) ) {
	$search_query = get_search_query( false );
}
?>
<form method="get" class="search-form" action="<?php echo esc_url( get_post_type_archive_link( VA_LISTING_PTYPE ) ); ?>" role="search">

	<div class="row">

		<div class="search-location-wrap medium-4 columns">
			<button><i class="fa fa-search" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>
			<input type="text" value="<?php echo isset( $_GET['location'] ) ? esc_attr( $_GET['location'] ) : ''; ?>" name="location" id="search_location" class="search_location app-address-field" placeholder="<?php echo esc_attr_x( 'Near', 'placeholder text', APP_TD ); ?>" autocomplete="off">
			<input type="submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search', APP_TD ); ?>">
		</div>
       

		<?php
		/**
		 * Fires after the main header search fields.
		 *
		 * @since 4.0.0
		 */
		do_action( 'va_listing_header_search_fields_after' );
		?>

	</div> <!-- .row -->

</form>

And I created a php snippet with Insert Php Code Snippet plugin.

Now, when I added the php snippet with a shortcode to somewhere else (for example on the main slider, there is one example I left for you now) it’s still making a search but does not filter as the selected location. It’s showing all results no matter what location they are related to.

But the normal button on the top of the page is making a accurate search.

I made same searchs with both buttons by typing “Ankara” in it (it’s a city in my country) and here is what I got;

The button on the top of the page is showing only the listings related to “Ankara” (which is right thing to do)
But the other button I have placed on the main slider shows all listings. (Right now it wont show you this thing because all listings are modified as Ankara city based.)

I noticed that the search results are directing different links. Like;

When I search “İzmir” with the button on top, the result link is ending with “lat=38.423734&lng=27.142826000000014”
But when I search “İzmir” with the button on the slider, the result link is ending with; “lat=&lng=”

And also, the search results acquired by the box on the top of the site are showing diameter option on the left side. You can see on attached image.

So basically, my new button is not working properly.

My 2nd question was about this too. The mobile version does not have that lcs on the header. So I wanted to add a link which directs to an empty search page, then people could make a search on there on the mobile. The site’s empty search results are showing in this page; https://www.matematikozelders.com/listings/?location=&st=listing&lat=0&lng=0

Can I add lcs to here also? (I mean a working one)

Last thing.. I have just noticed.. When you try to autocomplete a form data while writing.. Pressing enter is popping an error as “Autocomplete’s returned place contains no geometry” you can try and see live by trying a search with pressing enter.

Thank you very much. Sorry for long explanation :(
