Search Results for 'sf_current_query'

[Anonymous]

Thanks for that! Got it working by testing for ($sf_current_query->get_field_string("_th_private_page_category")=="Page Categories: All Page Categories")

You can close this now, cheers.

No I’m afraid not, it’s on the client server.

It looks like it might work if I knew how to check for contents of the categories and tags boxes instead of the text search field.

The code you provided looks like ($sf_current_query->get_search_term()==””) checks to see if the text search field is empty. Is there a similar query to check if the categories selection is empty? And the tags selection?

Many thanks.

Trevor,

Between this and another support post that I located, this was indeed the solution:

$sarr = $sf_current_query->get_array();
$fromDate = $sarr[_sf_post_date][active_terms][0][value] ;
$toDate = $sarr[_sf_post_date][active_terms][1][value];

Thanks!

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();

[Trevor]

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>';

[Trevor]

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:

$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(255)->current_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

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?

[Trevor]

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.
