I have two forms that I’d like to work together. The search form sits in the header and is only a search input (sfid 5729). The Filter form sits in the sidebar and has dropdowns for 3 custom taxonomies plus a from and to date (sfid 5727). They both are set to display in archive.php. The search form will use a url such as this, https://boardofednew.webdev.idaho.gov/search/?_sf_s=test.
The archive.php sidebar is implemented with content aware sidebars plugin and the sf widget for this filter form is set to display in it (5727).
So when I access the current press releases from the menu using url https://domainnamehere/resources/?_sft_resourcetype=press-releases and archive.php the filter form (5727) displays properly along with the filtered results for press releases. However, when I use the search form from the header (5729), it displays search results properly using archive.php, but it does not display the filter form (5757) in the sidebar. My intent is to return the search results for the term, then filter it further with the form in the sidebar. Code for archive.php follows:
‘
<?php
/**
*
* Description: Generic Index Page
*
* Used to display archive-type pages if nothing more specific matches a query.
* For example, puts together date-based pages if no date.php file exists.
*
* If you’d like to further customize these archive views, you may create a
* new template file for each one. For example, tag.php (Tag archives),
* category.php (Category archives), author.php (Author archives), etc.
*
* @link https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
*
* @package FoundationPress
* @since FoundationPress 1.0.0

Wooo, that got it. Thank you for your patience.
For anyone else with this issue please see my code below. Probably not perfect but it works. 🙂
// Exclude the default range values from the search as they are meaning the search returns no results
function remove_default_range( $query_args, $sfid ) {
//if search form ID = 225, the do something with this query
if($sfid==25 && $query_args) {
if((isset($query_args['meta_query']))&&(is_array($query_args['meta_query']))) {
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(25)->current_query()->get_array();
/* echo "<pre>";
print_r($sf_current_query);
echo "</pre>";*/
echo $sf_current_query['_sfm_minimum_per_round'][0]['value'];
if($sf_current_query['_sfm_minimum_per_round'][0]['value'] == '0' && $sf_current_query['_sfm_minimum_per_round'][0]['value'] == '50000') {
unset($sf_current_query['_sfm_minimum_per_round']);
}
if($sf_current_query['_sfm_minimum_per_season'][0]['value'] == '0' && $sf_current_query['_sfm_minimum_per_season'][0]['value'] == '1000000') {
unset($sf_current_query['_sfm_minimum_per_season']);
}
}
}
return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'remove_default_range', 20, 2 );
It is a while since I looked at the array, but I think I did something like this:
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(25)->current_query()->get_array();
echo "<pre>";
print_r($sf_current_query);
echo "</pre>";
I found some workaround, to display currently selected value:
$tmp = $sf_current_query->get_array();
echo $tmp["_sfm_character"]["active_terms"][0]["name"];
But it may be a bug in get_field_string method from documentation, which is not working in my case:
echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sfm_character");
Hi Max
I had a look, it seems to me there is something wrong with your code sample.
The filter receives a $query_args object, which contains the wp_query args that S&F defines, and at the end of the function it needs to return this $query_args object.
Inside the function you are free to modify this as you want, which it looks like you got close to do doing but not quite there..
You add your meta query to a new variable called $args, which never gets used.
I would do it like the following (untested – please also copy & paste into editor to see my comments, this is a bit clunky):
<?php
function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {
if( $sfid == 940 ) {
// I would use some known values for testing (I just made some dates up here)
$tender_start = "20170101";
$tender_end = "20170101";
/*global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(940)->current_query();
$array_data = $sf_current_query->get_array();
$tender_start = $array_data['_sfm_tender_start']['active_terms'][0]['value'];
$tender_end = $array_data['_sfm_tender_end']['active_terms'][0]['value'];*/
//if we want to play nice and not completely replace the existing meta query args
//there might be, then we need to check if some meta queries already exist and treat it differently
$meta_query = array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'tender_start',
'compare' => '>=',
'value' => $tender_start
),
array(
'key' => 'tender_end',
'compare' => '<=',
'value' => $tender_end
)
);
if((isset($query_args['meta_query']))&&(is_array($query_args['meta_query'])))
{//this means there are some meta queries already here, so push this one onto the end
array_push($query_args['meta_query'], $meta_query);
}
else
{//else there aren't any meta queries
//$query_args['meta_query'] should always be an array of meta queries according to wp docs
$query_args['meta_query'] = array($meta_query);
}
// not sure if you need these, you should set the order via the S&F admin (in the <code>posts</code> tab)
$query_args['meta_key'] = 'tender_start';
$query_args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num';
$query_args['order'] = 'ASC';
}
return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );
I’ve written that in my editor so it should be correct syntax, but I haven’t actually tested it, its just showing you how to properly use the $query_args to make the changes you want.
Hope that helps
Thank for your answer. Do you have a code sample? I tried some but no result.
function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {
if( $sfid == 940 ) {
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(940)->current_query();
$array_data = $sf_current_query->get_array();
$tender_start = $array_data['_sfm_tender_start']['active_terms'][0]['value'];
$tender_end = $array_data['_sfm_tender_end']['active_terms'][0]['value'];
$args = array(
'meta_key' => 'tender_start',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'tender_start',
'compare' => '>=',
'value' => $tender_start
),
array(
'key' => 'tender_end',
'compare' => '<=',
'value' => $tender_end
)
)
);
}
return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );
Marjan, we seem to have successfully coded up the solution for this, using a PHP snippet:
<?php
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_query = $searchandfilter->get(3217)->current_query();
if ($sf_query->is_filtered()) {
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(3217)->current_query()->get_array();
echo "<b>Prikaz rezultatov za...</b>";
$cat_string = "";
foreach($sf_current_query['_sft_category']['active_terms'] as $item) {
$cat_string .= $item['name'] . ", ";
}
$starost_string = "";
foreach($sf_current_query['_sfm_starost']['active_terms'] as $item) {
$starost_string .= $item['name'] . ", ";
}
if (($sf_current_query['_sft_category']['active_terms'][0]['name'])<>"") echo "<div>PRODUKTI: " . substr($cat_string, 0, -2) . "</div>";
if (($sf_current_query['_sft_post_tag']['active_terms'][0]['name'])<>"") echo "<div>STANJA: " . ($sf_current_query['_sft_post_tag']['active_terms'][0]['name']) . "</div>";
if (($sf_current_query['_sfm_kakovost_spremembe']['active_terms'][0]['name'])<>"") echo "<div>KAKOVOST SPREMEMBE: " . ($sf_current_query['_sfm_kakovost_spremembe']['active_terms'][0]['name']) . "</div>";
if (($sf_current_query['_sfm_starost']['active_terms'][0]['name'])<>"") echo "<div>STAROST: " . substr($starost_string, 0, -2) . "</div>";
if (($sf_current_query['_sfm_vrsta_primera']['active_terms'][0]['name'])<>"") echo "<div>VRSTA PRIMERA: " . ($sf_current_query['_sfm_vrsta_primera']['active_terms'][0]['name']) . "</div>";
}
?>
So I will close this now. Great to speak with you on Skype.
OK, nearly there. This is the code we have so far:
<?php
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_query = $searchandfilter->get(3217)->current_query();
if ($sf_query->is_filtered()) {
?>
<div>Found <?php echo $sf_query->found_posts; ?> Results</div>
<?php
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(3217)->current_query()->get_array();
if (($sf_current_query['_sft_category']['active_terms'][0]['name'])<>"") echo "<div>KATEGORIJE: " . ($sf_current_query['_sft_category']['active_terms'][0]['name']) . "</div>";
if (($sf_current_query['_sft_post_tag']['active_terms'][0]['name'])<>"") echo "<div>OZNAKE: " . ($sf_current_query['_sft_post_tag']['active_terms'][0]['name']) . "</div>";
if (($sf_current_query['_sfm_kakovost_spremembe']['active_terms'][0]['name'])<>"") echo "<div>KAKOVOST SPREMEMBE: " . ($sf_current_query['_sfm_kakovost_spremembe']['active_terms'][0]['name']) . "</div>";
if (($sf_current_query['_sfm_starost']['active_terms'][0]['name'])<>"") echo "<div>STAROST: " . ($sf_current_query['_sfm_starost']['active_terms'][0]['name']) . "</div>";
if (($sf_current_query['_sfm_vrsta_primera']['active_terms'][0]['name'])<>"") echo "<div>VRSTA PRIMERA: " . ($sf_current_query['_sfm_vrsta_primera']['active_terms'][0]['name']) . "</div>";
}
?>
And we know that the only part NOT working is:
<div>Found <?php echo $sf_query->found_posts; ?> Results</div>
Hey Trevor,
Managed to figure it out.
For the record here’s what I used (replacing 725 with whatever your specific search ID is..)
<?php
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(725)->current_query();
$array_data = $sf_current_query->get_array();
$typeOfSearch = $array_data[“_sf_sort_order”][“active_terms”][0][“value”];
echo $typeOfSearch ;
?>
Keith
Hi, we were able to get the meta values we needed with get_array();
And for those curious the code we used was (square-feet is our custom field):
<?php
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(315)->current_query();
$array_data = $sf_current_query->get_array();
$squarefeet_min = $array_data["_sfm_square-feet"]["active_terms"][0]["value"];
$squarefeet_max = $array_data["_sfm_square-feet"]["active_terms"][1]["value"];
?>
Thanks again for the help.
