Search Results for 'current_query'

[Trevor]

I apologise for the delay Jens, I ran out of time yesterday.

If you haven’t already done so, can you follow this guide:

https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/search-results/using-a-shortcode/

In particular, follow the instructions in the Customising section.

That will give you a results.php file you can edit, in a sub-folder named search-filter in your theme folder.

Would you want to show that after you search? My guess is yes. So, look for this code in the results.php template file:

Found <?php echo $query->found_posts; ?> Results<br />
Page <?php echo $query->query['paged']; ?> of <?php echo $query->max_num_pages; ?><br />

And change that to (I think this will work):

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(30408)->current_query();
if (!((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()==""))) {
	Found <?php echo $query->found_posts; ?> Results<br />
	Page <?php echo $query->query['paged']; ?> of <?php echo $query->max_num_pages; ?><br />
}

You can change anything else you want also. For example, to make the pagination look nicer, install the free WP-PageNavi plugin and delete these lines:

<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>

You would need to code some PHP. As you are using the Shortcode display results method, start with this guide (if you have not already):

https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/search-results/using-a-shortcode/#customising-the-results

To fetch the search terms, the https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/accessing-search-data/ guide is basic but you can extend the idea to grab lots of other data. If you have other filters, then it becomes a little more complex, but I can give you links. This thread might help you:

https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/accessing-field-slug-on-search-results/

… and this search will give similar threads I think:

https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/search/sf_current_query+get_array

Note, if you are using Ajax refreshing of the results, any PHP needs to be inside the Ajax Container, or it will not update.

The code we would normally recommend, so you may need to modify this, or may indeed have used this, is:

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1045)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  // the unfiltered posts output code here 
} else {
  // the current (filtered) posts output code here
}

Amazing, this works perfectly, thank you!!

I’m using it to run a function to offset the number of posts on the first page, but only if the page is outputting the default/unfiltered loop. Is this the best way to check that?

global $searchandfilter;
$filtered = $searchandfilter->get(1045)->current_query()->is_filtered();
if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && is_home() && $filtered != 1 ) {
...
}

[Trevor]

The PHP to use to conditionally run code looks like this (change the ID of the form to suit):

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1234)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  // the current (unfiltered) posts output code here
} else {
  // the desired (filtered) posts output code here
}

Trevor,

It works.
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get($id)->current_query();
$term = $sf_current_query->get_search_term();
$count = $wp_query->found_posts;

Thank you,

Christian

You will not find the count in the $sf_current_query array.

What display results method are you using?

Trevor,

I did try this:

$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get($id)->current_query();
$term = $sf_current_query->get_search_term();
$count = $sf_current_query->found_posts;

I returns the term, but not the count. How can I get the results count from the Search and Filter query?

Thank you,

Christian

Are you using our Shortcode Display Results method. If not, you would need to be using a method that uses a (simple) theme PHP template and be abel to add code like this (the ID number needs to match your form):

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1234)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  echo '<div>Nothing to see here folks!</div>'; 
} else {
  // the current (filtered) posts output code here
}

[Trevor]

So, the logic would look something like this (the ID would match that of the search form):

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1234)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  // the code to display the 8-10 default houses
} else {
  // the normal results loop code here
}

But, I am not sure Avada uses traditional templates, so this may be difficult to code. In the past, other Avada users have needed to use a third party grid plugin, such as this method (which does not offer the option to do as you want in this case):
