Search Results for 'sf_current_query'

[Trevor]

I am not sure, but a good place to start is to echo the entire query array to the screen so you can see what everything is. Like this:

$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(53)->current_query();
echo '<pre>';
print_r($sf_current_query->get_array());
echo '</pre>';

Hello,

In my search form UI I have a search form and multiple post meta acf checkbox

I tried :

<?php
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(53)->current_query();
echo $sf_current_query->get_search_term();
?>

It display only search terms of the search form, not post meta acf checkbox one !

So I tried :

<?php
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(53)->current_query();
$args = array(
“str” => ‘%2$s’,
“delim” => array(“, “, ” – “),
“field_delim” => ‘, ‘,
“show_all_if_empty” => false
);

echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
array(“_sf_s”, “_sfm_nom-de-l-artiste”, “_sfm_prenom-du-commissaire”, “_sfm_lieu”, “_sfm_nom-du-medium”, “_sfm_forme-de-la-carte”, “_sfm_couleur”, “_sfm_ecole-du-commissaire”, “_sfm_jour-de-la-visite”, “_sfm_age-du-commissaire”),
$args
);
?>

But it displays nothing !

Can you help me and telle me what I did wrong ?

Thank you very muche
Best regards,
Juke

Hi

Great to speak with you. Using your customised version of our results.php template file, you had excluded text searches and so needed to add a condition to check if they were being performed without using any of the other form controls, with:

$sf_current_query->get_search_term()==""

and

$sf_current_query->get_search_term()==!"

I will close this thread for now.

You might need this for what is in the search box:

$search_words=$sf_current_query->get_search_term();

and then echo that. If you search our forum:

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

You will see many different examples of use.

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for the quick response.

I can get it to half work… This search query should yield the response:
“Search Results for: green Brexit, Legatum Institute, Posts”
http://smartthinking.staging.wpengine.com/?sfid=979&_sf_s=green&_sft_category=brexit&_sfm_think_tank=Legatum%20Institute&post_types=post#a

At least that is what I would like it to do. But currently only the category is showing.

This is the markup:

<?php
    global $searchandfilter;
	$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(979)->current_query(); ?>
                    
            
    <h1 class="archive_title"><span><?php _e("Search Results for","wpbootstrap"); ?>:</span> <?php echo esc_attr(get_search_query()); ?>
                        
         <?php              
        $args = array(
            "str" 					=> '%2$s', 
            "delim" 				=> array(", ", " - "), 
            "field_delim"				=> ', ', 
            "show_all_if_empty"			=> false 
        );
        
        echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
            array("_sft_category", "_sft_post_tag", "_sft_sfdc_post_type", "_sft_sfdc_think_tank"), 
            $args
        );
        ?>
        
    </h1>

Have I done something wrong?
Thanks,
Alex

Redirecting an empty search is not a feature of the pro plugin, as the plugin is far more complex.

It IS possible to use PHP to detect if a search has been made though, like this:

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1024)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
  echo '<div>Nothing to see here folks!</div>'; 
} else {
  // your VC template archive code/loop here
}

Unfortunately that’s a no-go. The complete code I put in (using your good chunk there) looked like:

<?php global $searchandfilter;
 
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(15)->current_query()->get_array();
echo '<strong>Filtered by:</strong>';

if ( is_empty($sf_current_query ) ) {
  echo "all";
} else {
  foreach($sf_current_query as $key) {
  echo '&nbsp; &bull; ' . $key['active_terms'][0]['name'] . ' ';
}	
}?>

Am I missing something above if? Feels like that’s maybe where I’m off?
(The page does not display anything – no sidebar, no search form, so as-is above it pretty broken – did I close off the function properly?)

[Trevor]

If the query is empty, the $sf_current_query array will be empty, so you can use the PHP empty() function:

if ( empty($sf_current_query ) ) {
  echo 'Nothing here folks.';
} else {
....
}

I would think.

[Anonymous]

haha yes. That makes total sense, and it’s working as expected now. I was testing the output at the top of the file without thinking about where the results refresh…

One more thing… I would like to wrap the label and term in markup. Is there a way to return the label and term values separately?
For instance, echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sft_location"); returns “Location: Africa”, but I would like it to read <dt>Location:</dt><dd>Africa</dd>.

Thanks!

For clarity, this is what I used:

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(339)->current_query()->get_array();
foreach($sf_current_query as $key) {
  echo '<div>' . $key['active_terms'][0]['name'] . '</div>';
}
