    I have managed to get my AJAX form to show the currently selected category title, the only issue is the string also contains “categories:” and “category:” before the title but I only want the actual category name, is there a way to just get the category title without the extraneous words before it please?

    Thanks

    What code are you using to get them? You can post code here using back ticks (not quotes) before and after the code; on my keyboard it is the key next to the ‘1’.

    <?php
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(504)->current_query();
echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sft_category");
?>

    The above code gets the current category, but how to do it without the extraneous word(s) before it?

    Thanks

    You would need to dig deeper in the $sf_current_query array I suspect. You can echo the array to a page with a PHP print_r function inside pre tags.

    Okay, I have used the following code to display the array:

    <?php echo '<pre>',print_r($sf_current_query),'</pre>';?>

    This displays the following:

    Search_Filter_Active_Query Object
(
    [sfid] => 504
    [is_set:Search_Filter_Active_Query:private] => 1
    [query_array:Search_Filter_Active_Query:private] => Array
        (
        )

    [form_fields:Search_Filter_Active_Query:private] => Array
        (
            [_sft_category] => Array
                (
                    [type] => category
                    [input_type] => radio
                    [heading] => Categories
                    [accessibility_label] => 
                    [all_items_label] => All Articles
                    [show_count] => 1
                    [hide_empty] => 1
                    [hierarchical] => 0
                    [include_children] => 1
                    [drill_down] => 0
                    [sync_include_exclude] => 1
                    [combo_box] => 0
                    [operator] => or
                    [order_by] => default
                    [order_dir] => asc
                    [exclude_ids] => 
                    [taxonomy_name] => category
                )

        )

    (plus lots more)

    So what I want is the taxonomy name field but I have no idea how to access this field and echo into my template? Any help here would be much appreciated, I understand this may be out of the scope of support but if it’s something simple that you might know you could really help me out a lot.

    Thanks

    If you echo this:

    $sf_current_query['_sft_category']['taxonomy_name']

    What does it give you?

    <?php
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(504)->current_query();
echo $sf_current_query['_sft_category']['taxonomy_name'];
?>

    This code gives me an error… although it does look like this should work?

    Try this then:

    <?php
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(504)->current_query();
echo $sf_current_query['_sft_category'][0]['taxonomy_name'];
?>

    Hmm, it’s throwing the same error. In the original snippet there is “->get_field_string” do you think this has something to do with it?

    Ah, I see the erro. Not sure how many steps back you will need to take though.

    $sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(504)->current_query()->get_array();

    And look at what is in THAT array using print_r.
