Search Results for 'current_query'

[Christian Thibault]

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
}

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):

First, the Active Query Object. How are your results being out put on the results page? Many method uses frameworks and/or page builders, and with these, you really do not have access to the data you need. Instead, the page the outputs the results must be using a PHP template. So, you fist need to describe to me the Display Results Method that the form uses, and any other useful infomartion.

Second. I am not aware how this can be done, but, again, if you are using a PHP template, you MIGHT be able to do this.

This post describes how to retrieve the data from within the PHP template of the results page:

This will require intermediate PHP coding skills.

The code you would need is:

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(9490)->current_query()->get_array();
echo $sf_current_query['_sfm_UnitLocation']['active_terms'][0]['name'];

Look carefully, as only the ‘global’ line is the same.

Note, if you are using Ajax on the page, you may need to make sure that the page title is inside the Ajax Container, otherwise it will not refresh and change.

Just FYI, I have added this code within my #main container on the archive template. Nothing shows.

	global $searchandfilter;
	$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(9490)->current_query();
	echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sfm_UnitLocation");

1. Yes, using PHP. If your results are being output by a page builder or grid plugin, this is not possible. Similarly, themes that are using frameworks, instead of traditional templates, you would need to use our Shortcode results method, which uses a PHP template.
2. Only with very complex JavaScript, which even I would not attempt to craft.

For #1, this post explains a bit for you. Note, the code would have to go INSIDE the Ajax Container in the PHP template:

Having said that, you might be able to do it using this filter:

https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/action-filter-reference/#filter-input-object

… where the PHP would first have to check to see if a search has been done, and then conditionally remove the numbers in brackets from the labels. But that might slow things down a little.

The general method to detect if a search has been made is this:

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1234)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  // code here to remove the counts
}

Replace the ID number with that of your form.

As the count is always in brackets, you could find the position of the last instance of ( in the string, and trim the string to that left most number of characters of the string (minus 1 I think, as there will be a space also).

Does that page use a PHP template file? If it does, using a child theme and a copy of that file in the child theme folder, edit that file to place logic like this in to it:

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 products output code here
}

The ID number must match that of your form.

Note, if you are using a page builder, this method may not be possible.
