Hi Trevor,

thanks for pointing me to Edit Query Arguments Filter, must have missed that!

Here is how I set things up:
– a front end form for submitting private custom posts (cpt supports author)
– search & filter restricted to
– post type: my custom post type
– post status: private

I expected search & filter to take into account that limitation to private actually limits search results to current users posts, as a regular wordpress query would do. But maybe my setup is wrong.

If s&f doesn’t work this way, consider this a feature request. Because otherwise it renders wordpress post status private useless.

Next, I tried your approach of editing Arguments Filter, but it gives me no results. Probably wrong syntax?

function filter_user_posts( $query_args, $sfid ) {
  $user_id = get_current_user_id();
	
  //if search form ID = 109, do something with this query
  if($sfid==109)
  {
    //modify $query_args here before returning it
    $query_args = array(
      'author' => $user_id
    );
  }	
  return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_user_posts', 20, 2 );

Speaking of security issues: I will further investigate the URL-snooping issue. But I also have a content restrictions on single post view in other places, so posts can’t be viewed by non-authors anyway.

Cheers,

Georg

Hi Trevor,

a quick update, just in case someone is looking for a solution. The following filter works for me,
only posts written by currently logged-in user will be displayed.

function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {
  //if search form ID = 100, then do something with this query
  if($sfid==100) {
    //modify $query_args here before returning it
    $query_args = array(
      'post_type' => 'my_custom_post_type',
      'author' => $user->ID
    );
  }
  return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );

Thanks,

Georg
