Hi there

I understand the scenario.

We have a filter, to change the default in the search form, but this won’t affect the results.

This would be the code (untested ofc):

function filter_input_object_categories($input_object, $sfid){

	//ensure we are only filtering the correct field name - in this case the field we want to filter has the name <code>_sft_marketplace</code>
	if($input_object['name']!='_sft_marketplace'){
		return $input_object;
	}
	
	//manually set the values shown/selected in the field - must be array even if single value
	//this should really only occur under specific conditions, otherwise your field will be permanently set to this value
	
	//if the field is not already in use / selected
	if(!isset($_GET['_sft_marketplace'])){
		//then set it to "best wordpress app themes"
		$input_object['defaults'] = array("best-wordpress-app-themes");
	}
	return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_input_object_categories', 10, 2);

Thanks

Hi there

Do you mean the results do not reflect the new “default” we are setting?

Thanks

Ok, so what we did was simply update form field “defaults” but we didn’t update the query as well.

So what we need to do is, under the same conditions, restrict the query to that taxonomy term:

function filter_query_categories( $query_args, $sfid ) {
	
	//if search form ID = 252649, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==252649)
	{
		//if the marketplace taxonomy is not already in use / selected
		if(!isset($_GET['_sft_marketplace'])){
			
			//modify $query_args here before returning it
			$query_args['tax_query'] = array(
				'relation' => 'AND',
				array(
					'taxonomy' => 'marketplace',
					'field'    => 'slug',
					'terms'    => array("best-wordpress-app-themes") //restrict it
				)
			);
		}
	}
	
	return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_query_categories', 20, 2 );

That should just about do it.

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks
