Search Collectibles (User)

When you first display the user side of the Collectibles module, you will see the following screen.

Every collectible item has a link to the owner's Member Directory page, as well as “Item Name” (called Car Model Name in the above screen shot.) For most of these fields, you can search for a value anywhere in the field.

Collectible items also have questions where the answers are visible to the public and can be searched. There may also be questions that are configured to be visible to everyone, but cannot be searched.

Enter or select the relevant search criteria and click the Search button.

Select a question from the drop-down list. What you see next depends on the answer format.

• For a Select List or Radio Button question, the Operator is “Equals” and the Value field shows you the allowable values.
• If it’s an Integer, Number, or Date field, the Operator supports “Equals”, “Not Equal to”, “Greater Than”, “Less Than”, etc.
• If it’s a Short or Long Text field, the Operator supports “Equals”, “Not Equal to”, “Contains”, and “In List” (which is a comma-separated list.)

For each question, specify the operator and value. You can select multiple questions and, along with the fixed search fields, all specified criteria are treated as AND conditions (i.e., they must all match for a collectible item to be returned.)

When you’ve specified the criteria you want, click the Search button to see a screen similar to the following:

Matching items are shown below the search panel (which actually collapses when a search is performed.) 20 results are shown; if there are more than 20, the standard ClubExpress page controls will also be displayed to navigate forward and backward through the list.

Because the properties of each item will be different from club to club, only the fixed fields are shown, in addition to a photo. Click the photo to display a popup window with either the single photo linked to an item or the full photo album (using the standard ClubExpress viewer.)
