Until now, it was impossible to have your dynamic parameters persist when using pagination. To alleviate this, Dynamo takes your dynamic parameters and stores them in the database, and assigns a search_id, which can be used in to retrieve your filtered results, without having to perform another POST request with your parameters.

Installation

• Copy the /system/expressionengine/third_party/dynamo/ folder to your /system/expressionengine/third_party/ folder

Form

Use this form to submit your dynamic parameters. It will add your search parameters to the database, and redirect you to your results template with the search_id. As of version 1.0.1, you can also submit arrays (like category[], for instance) which will automatically be converted into the pipe delimited format that entries parameters accept.

{exp:dynamo:form return="site/entries"}
    <input type="text" name="search:your_custom_field">
    <select name="limit">
        <option value="10">10</option>
        <option value="20">20</option>
        <option value="50">50</option>
    </select>
    <select name="category[]" multiple="multiple">
        <option value="1">Dogs</option>
        <option value="2">Cat</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit">
{/exp:dynamo:form}

Form Parameters

return
This is the location of your dynamo:entries template. The search_id will be added as the last segment.

return="site/entries"

search_id
If you are displaying a form on your results page, and wish to show the submitted values.

{exp:dynamo:form return="site/entries" search_id="{segment_3}"}
    <input type="text" name="search:your_custom_field" value="{search:your_custom_field}">
    <select name="limit">
        <option value="10"{if limit == 10} selected="selected"{/if}>10</option>
        <option value="20"{if limit == 20} selected="selected"{/if}>20</option>
        <option value="50"{if limit == 50} selected="selected"{/if}>50</option>
    </select>
    <input type="submit">
{/exp:dynamo:form}

Entries

Use this tag in your results template to display the matching channel entries. It uses the same variables and parameters as a channel:entries tag, with the addition of the search_id parameter to fetch your matching results.

{exp:dynamo:entries channel="entries" dynamic_parameters="search:your_custom_field|limit" search_id="{segment_3}"}
    <a href="{entry_id_path=site/entry}">{title}</a>
    {paginate}<p>Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages {pagination_links}</p>{/paginate}
{/exp:dynamo:entries}

Form on Results Page
