how do i modify this code?

[jeterla]

Hi!

 

I could really use someone's help.  I have a snippet of php code that is used in a website search form.  Here is the code:

 

<?php
}
if ($params->get('display_type')) {
?>
                    <div class="mod_fwrealestate_search_element">
                        <?php echo JText :: _('Property_type'); ?><br/>
                        <?php if ($type_id) echo JHTML :: _('select.genericlist', fwRealEstateHelper :: loadDictionary('property_type', 'Any'), 'search[property_type]', 'disabled="disabled"', 'id', 'name', $type_id);
                            else echo JHTML :: _('select.genericlist', fwRealEstateHelper :: loadDictionary('property_type', 'Any'), 'search[property_type]', '', 'id', 'name', $property_type); ?>
                    </div>
 

 

The code on the front-end displays a drop-down box from which the user selects what property type they want to search for.

 

What I would like to do is to change the code so that instead of a drop down field that shows all records in the property_type table, of which the user may select only one to search against, I would like to display only 5 specific options that appear in the property_type table, meaning, only show the options I want to show, and then allow the user to select one, all, or any combination via a check box.

 

Can anyone help me out with this coding change?  I would be eternally grateful and would be willing to make a donation to Feeding America in your name.

 

Thanks!!
