Hi there,
I have search and filter form where I need to set a custom meta query based on the values held within a dynamic array variable based on the user who is logged in (which controls what they see).
So manually I tried the following:
Post Meta > post_product = 1134
Which is similar to what I want, and of course that works BUT I need the value of that query to be a dynamic array of product ID’s instead (held within $arr_product_ids in my example) depending on the user logged in, ie as follows:
'meta_query' => array(
'key' => 'post_product',
'value' => $arr_product_ids,
'compare' => 'IN',
),
With that in mind, I have tried: https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/search-results/custom/ and added the following to my functions.php file but sadly this has not worked:
global $arr_product_ids;
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 12,
'category_name' => 'news',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
'post_product' => array(
'key' => 'post_product',
'value' => $arr_product_ids,
'compare' => 'IN',
),
'post_urgent' => array(
'key' => 'post_urgent',
'compare' => 'EXISTS',
),
'post_priority' => array(
'key' => 'post_priority',
'compare' => 'EXISTS',
),
),
'orderby' => array( 'post_priority' => 'DESC', 'post_urgent' => 'DESC', 'date' => 'DESC' ),
);
$args['search_filter_id'] = 2978;
$query = new WP_Query($args);
I then looked at https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/action-filter-reference/ and tried adding the following to functions.php, but sadly again no luck:
function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {
if($sfid==2978) {
$query_args['post_product'] = $arr_product_ids;
}
return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );
Please could you ket me know where I’m going wrong with this as I think I’m going around in circles sadly, whereas you will know the issue immediately I’m sure :).
Many thanks,
TJ
