Shortcodes

Download available with active license

This extension provides Shortcodes that generate both search forms and results pages for SearchWP search engines. It’s useful if you’re not comfortable (or able) to edit theme files directly to implement your search form(s) and results loops.

After activating Shortcodes, the following will be available to you:

Shortcode	Attribute(s)
`searchwp_search_form`Outputs a search form for a specific search engine	`target` — The form action (Default is the existing permalink) `engine` — Search engine name (Default is `default`) `var` — The search query variable name (Default is `swpquery`) `button_text` — Form button text (Default is `Search`) `placeholder` — Form input placeholder text (Default is `Search`)
`searchwp_search_results`Outputs the list of search results once a search has been submitted	`engine` — Search engine name (Default is `default`) `posts_per_page` — How many posts per page to display Note that this is not a self-closing Shortcode, the markup for each search result should be nested inside, see sample below for example var — The search query variable name (Default is `swpquery`)
`searchwp_search_result_link`Outputs a link to the current search result	`direct` — Either “true” or “false”, when true link directly to the permalink, if it’s an attachment link directly to it’s URL, not the parent page
`searchwp_search_result_excerpt`Outputs the excerpt for the current search result	None
`searchwp_search_results_none` Output if no search results were found	NoneNote that this is not a self-closing Shortcode, the markup for each search result should be nested inside, see sample below for example
`searchwp_search_results_pagination`Output pagination of search results	`engine` — Search engine name (Default is `default`) `direction` — Either “prev” or “next” `link_text` — The text to use in the link `var` — The search query variable name (Default is `swpquery`)
`searchwp_search_results_paginate_links`Output paginated links for search results	`engine` — Search engine name (Default is `default`) `var` — The search query variable name (Default is `swpquery`) In addition to the above, arguments from `paginate_links` are also supported.
`searchwp_search_result_image`Output Featured Image for the current result	`size` — Image size (Default is `thumb`)
`searchwp_search_result_permalink`Output permalink for the current result	`direct` — Whether to link directly to Media files (Default is `'true'`)

Here is a sample of a comprehensive implementation of Shortcodes that searches a supplemental engine with a name of my_test_engine :

	<h3>Search Form</h3>
	[searchwp_search_form engine="my_test_engine" target="http://example.com/supplemental-search/" var="searchvar" button_text="Find Results"]

	<div class="search-results-wrapper">
	Total Results: [searchwp_total_results engine="my_test_engine" var="searchvar"]
	[searchwp_search_results engine="my_test_engine" var="searchvar" posts_per_page=10]
	<h2>[searchwp_search_result_link direct="true"]</h2>
	[searchwp_search_result_excerpt]
	[/searchwp_search_results]
	</div>

	<div class="no-search-results-found">
	[searchwp_search_results_none]
	No results found, please search again.
	[/searchwp_search_results_none]
	</div>

	<div class="search-results-pagination">
	[searchwp_search_results_pagination direction="prev" link_text="Previous" var="searchvar" engine="my_test_engine"]
	[searchwp_search_results_pagination direction="next" link_text="Next" var="searchvar" engine="my_test_engine"]
	</div>
