Search Results for 'current_query'

[Tim Houghton]

Hi again 🙂

What does the 1726 in the 2nd line of that code refer to? Is that a page ID?

$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1726)->current_query();

Do you know if you have the name correct? You could use PHP to dump the $sf_current_query array, like this:

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

OK. The >> is made by your theme and needs to be switched off inside search and filter forms, with Custom CSS:

.bSe .searchandfilter ul li::before {content: '' !important;}

To put the search field and button next to each other, this:

.searchandfilter .sf-field-search {
  display: inline-block;
  padding-left: 0 !important;
  margin-right: 20px;
}
.searchandfilter .sf-field-submit {
  display: inline-block;
  padding-left: 0 !important;
}

For the second point, to hide results until a search has been made, I need to know you have placed a copy of the results.php file in your theme or child theme folder, as here:

https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/search-results/using-a-shortcode/#Customising_the_Results

Assuming that you have, edit that file and replace the content with this:

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(255)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  echo '<div>Nothing to see here folks!</div>'; 
} else {
	
	if ( $query->have_posts() )
{
	?>

	</div>

	{

					the_post_thumbnail("small");
					echo '</p>';

	<div class="pagination">
		
		<div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( 'Older posts', $query->max_num_pages ); ?></div>
		<div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( 'Newer posts' ); ?></div>
		<?php
			/* example code for using the wp_pagenavi plugin */
			if (function_exists('wp_pagenavi'))
			{
				echo "<br />";
				wp_pagenavi( array( 'query' => $query ) );
			}
		?>
	</div>
	<?php
}
else
{
	echo "No Results Found";
}
}
?>

That should work, I hope.

For #3. It would be better to use your theme’s own styling, and to do this I would need to see a more normal results page in your theme that looks OK to you, then we can borrow their styling.

Hey Kevin

Sorted it!

Basically what you had done was correct… is_filtered returns true if a filter has been selected.

This is not true for the search term though, as its not regarded as a filter (perhaps it should be now that I think about it)…

So what I did was also add a condition to see if a user had typed a search term to your template, and now it works as expected –

$sf_current_query->get_search_term()==""

Best

Something like this:

I think?

On your documentation

https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/accessing-search-data/

you say this is possible querying the form from another page:

<?php
	//grab the active query from our search form
	//replace <code>1526</code> with the ID of your search form
	global $searchandfilter;
	$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1526)->current_query();
?>

Whould this display the filtered posts to a php template?

Hi

For 1 and 2, you would need to edit the results.php file that you copied into your theme folder. 3 is not possible, yet. It is on our roadmap, but it may be a while yet, to allow form elements in different places on the page.

So, for 1. This is the basic code:

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1726)->current_query();
if (!$sf_current_query->is_filtered()) {
// put anything you want instead of the results for the page loading without query parameter
} else {
// put the output part of the results.php here
}

Where 1726 is changed to whatever the ID number of your form is.

For 2, simply find those text strings in the results.php file and replace.

Is this also work in sf_input_object_pre that you gave me?

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1726)->current_query();

Hi

It all seems to work for me?

As to not showing results when the page loads, you need to edit the results.php file, like this:

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1726)->current_query();
if (!$sf_current_query->is_filtered()) {
// put anything you want instead of the results for the page loading without query parameter
} else {
// put the output part of the results.php here
}

Exactly, I wanto to check if query is filtered and then display something that doesn’t inovolve posts. It’s a custom code. I tried $searchandfilter->get(filter_id)->current_query() with is_filtered() but it always returns 1.
