Does anyone know if it is possible to create a URL to list an EE exhibition which includes search arguments for example If I have a URL for a particular exhibition, but I only want to display the pictures from a certain location.

I know an individual using the site could fill out the search criteria themselves but I would like to create a menu system that made some pre-defined displays for my visitors

Thanks

Search the forum, Pekka posted a couple of examples last year. If you get nothing with search then look back at the postings of the end of the last year (not included in the search index).

Thanks Tomka,

I found one post that gives some examples http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=21082 but I can't figure out how to use the Search Location by Keyword in the string. What I want to do is for example from all exhibitions list all photos with a location=London

Any further help would be appreciated

Thanks

Alan

Here is another thread.
http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17826&start=0&postdays=0&postorde r=asc&highlight=search+keyword

with this example:
http://photography-on-the.net/gallery/list.php?exhibition=1&pass=public&search_row=ee_ph oto.ee_photo_exif_iso&keyword=100&lang=eng&select_ output=just_microthumbs&perpage=5&html=embed

Getting data out from EE this way has some advantages you don't get from normal EE photo browser interface. Above search searches _exactly_ keyword 100, and not 1000, too like standard EE. If you need to have wildcards, use % (as *) and _ (as ?).
