filtering EMD with custom fields

[markolson68]

I read the instructions on how to add additional fields for filtering, using custom fields. I followed the steps so that I edited the code here to add two other fields (with drop downs that i created)

$args[’emd_country’] = ‘Search by Country,dropdown’;
$args[’emd_state’] = ‘Search by State,dropdown’;
$args[’emd_year’] = ‘Search by Year,dropdown’;
$args[’emd_gender’] = ‘Gender,radio’;

and then i put this into my page:

[userpro template=emd emd_fields=’gender,country,state,year’]

but neither state nor year show up on the page.

i imagine i’m missing something simple but don’t have any idea what it is.

There is no field by that name on that page. Happy to send the code.

You can try passing the short code once in the following format –
[userpro template=emd search_age=”Age,dropdown” search_gender=”Gender,dropdown” search_country=”Country,dropdown”]

hi, that’s what i tried the first time. it didn’t work with any custom fields, which is why i tried the other method.

also, can you please confirm for me that the message i sent to the ‘test’ account are not public.
