Hi There.

Does anyone know if it's possible to start a JooDatabase search from a custom form. How can that be achieved?

Thanks.

Just generate a form with a search - input field and submit the form to your catalog-view address.

Thank you and excuse my ignorance but how do I pass the search term from the form to the catalog view?

Take a look at the search form of the example database
<form name="searchForm" id="searchForm"  method="get" action="http://joodb.feenders.de/db-example.html"  >
<input type="hidden" name="Itemid" value="138"/>
<input type='text' maxlength='20' name='search'/>
<input type='submit' value='search...' />
</form>

You could take form and put it on any html page. As soon as you submit the form the search string in the input named SEARCH will be submitted to joodb.feenders.de/db-example.html

example:
db-example.html?search=cat

This is just a simple example. Take a look at the source of the example database.

Hi There. It's me again.
Excuse me, but i am new to this.
I don't have an URL to my Joodb catalog like you guys have in joodb.feenders.de/db-example.html
I call mine using a menu declaration in Joomla that goes like this: guiadelaconstruccion.do/index.php?option...ew=catalog&Itemid=11
How do open my catalog with the custom search term?

Thanks.
