Gallery2 Forum;
I have struggled to find a way to place a search form on my integrated Wordpress pages.
The search plug-in for WPG2 simply does not work in Wordpress. What I have resorted to is a form that
places the submitted keywords to a keyword album query string. The search box is located here:
http://www.locateart.com/
<div class="block-search-SearchBlock">
<form id="search_SearchBlock" method="get">
<input type="text" id="searchCriteria" size="18" name="page_id=115&g2_view=keyalbum.KeywordAlbum&g2_keyword" class="textbox"/>
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
<br/>
</form>
</div>
This works but during the form submit process the browser url-enclodes the non-ASCII characters like ampersand "&" becomes %26 and equal "=" becomes %3D. If I simply cut and past the query string into the browser the keyword album page loads fine such as - this works:
[url]http://www.locateart.com/?page_id=115&g2_view=keyalbum.KeywordAlbum&g2_keyword=Vintage Art[/url]
I believe the solution could be as simple as placing the php function urldecode($url_path) as the page loads
so the query string is decoded properly. Problem is I have no idea where to place the php urldecode($url_path)
function and what variables to use. My guess is the url_path is the variable $wpg2_g2path located in one of the wpg2 files like "wpg2functions" but not sure.
Again I am looking for guidance locate the page/ file for search form $_POST/ GET function parses the query string so I can place the php function urldecode().
Thanks
