Hi,

I’m using Timber to render Twig templates to format my search results via results.php. I’ve added a conditional tag to load a new twig template if a specific page is calling the search results.

results.php:
<?php
if (is_page(ID)) {
$templates = array(‘special-template.twig’);
} else {
$templates = array(‘general-template.twig’);
}

….

This works fine on “Special Page” — i.e. the special-template results are loaded. However, I want to use AJAX to filter the results. When I try an AJAX filter, is_page returns FALSE and the “general-template.twig” is loaded for my search results.

Any advice? Or is this the wrong approach for what I want to accomplish?

Thanks!

Hey there

I see the issue, I’m going to add a method/var to the query, which will return the Search Form ID – so you can do a check in your loop against the search form ID, and load the correct template based on that.

Sound like what you need?

Thanks

Aha! Yes that makes sense. I didn’t think of checking the Search Form ID—that’ll totally work. Much appreciated! This is a new method you’ll have to write?

Just emailed you an update.

If using in results.php you should use:

echo $query['search_filter_id'];

Thanks

Excellent! It works!

I had to access the ID via the object property; the array index wouldn’t work — not sure if that’s a bad sign or not.

$sf_id = $query->query[‘search_filter_id’];

if ($sf_id == ‘XXX’) {
$templates = array(‘page-specific.twig’);
} else {
$templates = array(‘general.twig’);
}

Thanks again!
