This is a little complicated please bear with me and I use pics to help illustrate what is occuring.
I want to create a block for user inputs of their interest (so multiple items). I want to display the block as a checkbox multiple selector on the edit page like this but with much more options.:
The block on the edit profiles page has options of selector with the options typed into it like this (named crosstest):
Now everything is okay at this point, the issue comes with what I want to do next.
I don't want the user to have multiple check boxes on the search forms for interest inputs. Instead I want to use multiple selector to setup the matching iwth the exact same options, except I'm using input type: multiple selector and multiple selector of drop down box. THe options are the same as shown here:
now for matching the two boxes together I set the the crosstest2 to match with the options in crosstest as shown here ( i put low match percent to test it) :
So now when a user sees the quick search they get the multiple selector option as this:
So I made a test profile where the profile had selected selector 1, selector 2, selector 3. When I do a search for selector 1, selector 2, or selector 3 ( or different combinations thereof) the script will not return any results. Am I doing somethign wrong in trying to marry these two boxes together for matching or is something broke?
The only way to get the matching to work is the use the same crosstest block on the search with the check boxes and it looks like this:
but this will not work for me as I the fields will be vastly more expanded.
So the final question is: is there some way to cross match two different blocks with the exact same options but using different input types? I also tried the above experiment using a predefined table with values and got the same result.
