I'm using Wordpress custom field taxonomies to support metadata in my posts so we can run custom searches. The metadata can then be searched using the standard Wordpress query string like this:

http://somedomain.com/?county=Wichita

This is merely a 'Get Method' submit.

I have created a custom search form using cForms as the form creator. But I have not been able to figure out how to get the form to submit the form data in the URL rather than through the 'Post' method.

Is there a way to get cForms to submit the form data in the URL?

cforms doesn't support GET, but you can use the redirect to feature together with my-functions.php (logic) to rewrite your default redirect-on-success target http://somedomain.com/ to http://somedomain.com/?county=Wichita

Do you have an example of this? I've looked in the my-functions.php file, but there is no redirect-on-success routine.

  1. you need to enable and configure the redirect setting on your form config page
  2. then edit (uncomment and adapt the parts needed) my-functions.php

check out the logic function…there is a redirect example, unless you're using an old version!

One more question. Is there a cforms variable that contains the URLencoded values from the form that I can append to the URL to create the proper search address?

No, you'd have to create those values yourself.
