Many customers want a standard search panel displayed across all their search pages, but a custom search panel - often on the Home page.
Example:
[rover_idx_full_page search_panel_layout="custom" template_fields="street,mlnumber,beds,baths"]
For a fully custom experience, you can use the search_panel_layout="custom" parameter. This tells Rover that you do not want to use the search panel template that was chosen as the default for the site. Rather, you want to display a custom search panel, and specify which search fields are displayed.
template_fields="" is the parameter that instructs which search fields should appear, in what order, in the search panel. You can specify any available search field. For instance:
[rover_idx_search_panel search_panel_layout="custom" template_fields="cities,price,prop_types" min_price="150000" max_price="800000"]
And if you want a "More" dropdown that has more search fields within it (like many of the default templated search panels) you can do that too. Just add advanced to the list of template_fields. All fields after the word advanced will appear within the More dropdown, in the order you specified. For instance:
[rover_idx_search_panel search_panel_layout="custom" template_fields="cities,price,prop_types,advanced,waterfront,yearbuilt,newconstruction" min_price="150000" max_price="800000"]
Don't forget that Rover displays property matches as the visitor makes selections. If you want to force the display of a search button, just include that in the list of template fields.
[rover_idx_search_panel search_panel_layout="custom" template_fields="cities,price,prop_types,advanced,waterfront,yearbuilt,newconstruction,afteradvanced,searchbutton" min_price="150000" max_price="800000"]
The afteradvanced causes the searchbutton to be placed outside the More dropdown, not within.
