+# FixMyStreet Pro deep linking
+
+Your user will most likely be starting their journey of reporting an issue on
+your own website. That may be a generic report an issue page, but could be a
+page on a particular type of issue, such as Graffiti or Potholes.
+
+## Generic reporting page
+
+On a generic page, you can link directly to the FixMyStreet Pro front page with
+a normal link, or embed a FixMyStreet Pro search form into the page, taking the
+user straight to a map page.
+
+### Direct link
+
+Your website will have its own way of adding links.
+
+`<a href="https://your.fixmystreet.example/">Report a problem</a>`
+
+### Embedded form
+
+An embedded form should be a normal HTML form
+whose action is `https://your.fixmystreet.example/around` and contains a text
+input with name `pc`. Ideally it would also have a hidden field called `js`
+that is set to 1 if the user has JavaScript enabled (this can speed the response up).
+If you want to get really fancy and add geolocation to your own site, you can
+also link to an `/around` page with parameters `latitude` and `longitude`.
+
+```html
+<form action="https://your.fixmystreet.example/around">
+<label for="pc">Search term:</label>
+<input type="text" id="pc" name="pc" value="">
+<input type="submit" value="Go">
+</form>
+```
+
+## Specific category page
+
+On a category page, you can also do either of the above things, but also
+include an extra parameter that will restrict the default map view and
+reporting to a particular category, categories, or parent category if you use
+subcategories.
+
+### Direct link
+
+To link to one category, add a `filter_category` parameter with the
+category/subcategory you wish to pre-filter, or provide multiple categories
+separated by a comma (if one of your categories contains a comma, surround it
+with double quotes). If you use subcategories in your installation and wish to
+restrict the map to a particular top-level category, not an individual
+subcategory, you should use a `filter_group` parameter with the name of the
+top-level category.
+
+* https://your.fixmystreet.example/?filter_category=Graffiti
+
+* https://your.fixmystreet.example/?filter_category="A,+B,+and+C"
+
+* https://your.fixmystreet.example/?filter_category=Graffiti,Flyposting
+
+* https://your.fixmystreet.example/?filter_group=Road+defects
+
+### Embedded form
+
+Within a web form, specify the `filter_category` or `filter_group` as a hidden
+field for equivalent behaviour to the link.
+
+Using `filter_category` will restrict the map pins to that category, and
+automatically use that category when a report is begun; if you use multiple
+categories, the map is filtered but no category is selected when a report is
+begun. Using `filter_group` will restrict the map pins to all subcategories in
+that category, preselect that category when a report is begun and the user will
+still need to pick the correct subcategory.
+
+```html
+<form action="https://your.fixmystreet.example/around">
+<input type="hidden" name="filter_category" value="Graffiti">
+<label for="pc">Search term:</label>
+<input type="text" id="pc" name="pc" value="">
+<input type="submit" value="Go">
+</form>
+```
+
+* `<input type="hidden" name="filter_group" value="Trees">`
+
+* `<input type="hidden" name="filter_category" value='Trees,"Cars, bikes, trains"'>`
