I did answer and you replied back to me. You sent the question thru the contact form rather than posting it in the forum which is why it it here.
Here’s a copy of the email exchange for your reference:
You: Is there a way to have a directory search form like the one on directory page, on the homepage of the site via widget or shortcode? I need to know before I buy this.
Me: Yes, the Widget Pack Extension comes with a search widget that can be placed in the theme’s sidebar. You can then use Widget Login or Widget Context to limit the widget to be displayed on the home page.
You: is it the same search that on the directory page templates? http://d.pr/i/mQ69 There arent any pics of what the front end of the widget pack looks like are there?
Me: Yes, it is the same … both the template and the widget both use the same “visual” code and styles, practically speaking, they are identical.
I hope that does answer your question thoroughly. If it does not or I misunderstand what you’re asking, please let me know.
I hope that helps!
