Hi Guys,

Need some help please anyone.

I have a customer who wants me to do a mobile version of his Holiday travelling site but with the searches function being the main feature of the mobile site

he also wants 3 to 4 pages but these will be mostly text and images.

My question is I have not done a holiday mobile site with the search being the main feature .. How easy will it be to do that? I have just purchase Quentin's WP template.

This question is for Quentin if he is around
(Will i be able to achieve that with your template Quentin?)

Need help badly with this one please

Thanks in advance

What will the search function do? Will you have a database of available holidays etc? Will you grab the search results from another site?

Hi Thanks for your reply

Yes Will you grab the search results from another site?

That is what the client wants.. so when someone do a search it grabs it from the main site

So, it seems the main website has a database and you will need to write a search script that will connect to that database and display the results on the mobile site. I cannot give specific directions without knowing what platform your client's website uses. If it is a PHP & MySQL based website, you can find many resources on Google about this:

http://www.designplace.org/scripts.php?page=1&c_id=25

Every case will be different; therefore, you will need to find your own way following available resources.
