I would like to be able to share a link to all the sermons in a specific series. How can I link to filtered search results?

Each series has an ID number. On your site, "The Attributes of God" is series number 3.

Your Sermon Browser page is at:
http://rickcowan.com/?page_id=869

To link to all of the sermons in "The Attributes of God" series, add &series=3 to the end of the URL. So the link for this series is:
http://rickcowan.com/?page_id=…..p;series=3

By the way, this link already appears on your site. Just click on the series link in each sermon (It says "Part of the The Attributes of God series".)

If you have any more questions, just let us know.

Why doesn't the correct URL show up in the address bar of my brower automatically?

Rich, what do you mean? I don't understand what you are asking.

LOL Sorry Ben. If I type in "pain' in my search box, I get two sermons with the keyword "pain". The address in my browser bar still says, "sermons.aisquith.org" instead of the URL to my search result. The same if I sort by preacher.

Rich, there are two methods of sending information from the user to the web server: GET and POST. When information is sent via GET, the info is added to the end of the URL that is visited. With POST, the information is not put in the URL string, but is sent another way.

Sermon Browser can receive information from either method. When you use your filter form ("drop-down" style filter), the information is sent via POST. If you use the "one-click" style filter form, the info is sent via GET and appears in the URL.

Even if you keep the "drop-down" filtering, Sermon Browser can still receive commands via the GET method. You can see this on your site. Your most recent sermon is by "Robert E. Bell." If you click on the "Robert E. Bell" link on your latest sermon, you'll see "?preacher=3" on the end of the URL. If you use your filter form and choose "Robert E. Bell" from the speakers list, you won't see this information in the URL because the request is sent via POST. But the resulting page is the same.

I hope that makes sense. Let me know if it doesn't.

Thanks Ben. Thank makes perfect sense. I kept the drop-down menus because that was similar to our old interface.
