Make Search Results a Clickable Link

Contest Brief

I have a working PHP app "TagSearch". The PHP files are attached.

TagSearch is a search engine for music tracks that connects to SoundCloud via API. TagSearch is hosted on a developer server at:

http://bencosshelf.com/soundcloudCP2/login.php

After customizing settings, the user may embed TagSearch their own site with iFrame, e.g. as I have done here:

http://www.acebaker.com/#!library/cqn3

User can search by entering text in the search field, or by check boxes next to filter labels.

There is a button "Get Link". Get Link is supposed to work like this:

Clicking "Get Link" offers a link that the user can paste into an email. When the receiver of the email clicks that link, it should lead to the page where TagSearch is embedded (e.g. http://www.acebaker.com/#!library/cqn3), then load exactly the same text into the search field (if any), and exactly the same set of check boxes (if any).

The current version of the code has the "Get Link" function, but it does not work correctly. Currently, when you click on the link, it takes you back to http://bencosshelf.com, instead of the site where the app is embedded.

Also, the current version only works for the check boxes, but not for the text in the search field.

You will modify the code so that GetLink works correctly - the generated link leads to the end user site (not the developer site), and includes the search text as well as the check boxes.

You will post the modified TagSearch script on your developer server for testing. The first developer to post a working TagSearch with a working Get Link wins. If you have any questions, post them here on Freelancer and I will answer as quickly as possible.

By entering this contest, you agree not to distribute or share the TagSearch code with anyone.

  basically when you press the link(ill use mysql but flat file would work too), it will pass the frame info to backend with ajax, and save in the db, the link would end in some random hash looking id for the db row which has the data, when the link is requested, it will lookup get the info and update the frame fields

Do you control the app at http://bencosshelf.com? I don't see a way to do this. The Get Link function is implemented on that server, and it cannot be changed by anyone but that apps owner.

  No, you need the PHP files, and will post the app on your own server for testing. I do not know why the PHP files are not attached to the project brief. It is a problem with Freelancer.com I believe

I upload the PHP files "scolud.zip", but it does not show. So it is a problem with Freelancer.com.
