queryStringParams documentation

[jotapee]

Hi,
I'd be really interested in see some documentation for the queryStringParams feature for the plugin.

I'm trying to implement a form (prior to results page) that send the variables of search and then redirect to the results page.

I think that's what the queryStringParams option is but couldn't find any kind of documentation/example of how to use it.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you!
I've tried this on my site, following your documentation step by step...it didn't work for me though.
I had to create a custom jquery function to get the search variable, store it apply it to the field and submit the form.
I will do some more testing though, I'll let you know if it's still not working for me.

@jotapee I think you need to make sure ‘fullMapStart’ is set to true. I don't think that is stated in the tutorial.

I have the query string working. However, I have another search form on the results/map/locator page. If I use that search after I use a query string from another page, the map and listings do not update, I believe because the get method keeps the query string in the url. How would I go about getting this search form to work? Is there a way to use the post method to get it working?

@jotapee you shouldn't have to do that if you're using the latest version of the plugin.

@jughead47 Looks like it's a bug. I'll reopen this issue - not sure when I'll get to it but I might have time this weekend.

@jughead47 v2.0.8 has the fix for your issue.
