I am experimenting with my first extension with a custom search. In the search examples the user is taken to a form to select a group or other criteria. For example in Sample.php you have

Code: [Select]

$form->assign('elements', array('household_name', 'state_province_id'));to select household name or state/province. If I remove these elements of the buildForm function, then I get an empty form with 2 Search buttons - see attached screenshot. Since my search is entirely contained in the SQL, I don't need this step. Is there any way to go directly to the search output?

1. So i'm assuming your search code has an implicit "force=1" to do an automatic search when the page is rendered

2. I suspect it an easy patch to hide the search buttons when no elements are present. We never hit the case, and hence did not code for it

Ok, that was easy. I added "&force=1" to the url in the menu link and that did it. Good to know, thanks for the tip.
