Search Results for 'sf_current_query'

[Anonymous]

Hey Ross,

Did you try it on the results.php located in the avada theme folder /search-filter ?

I tried this again with the following two codes;

<?php
//Get an array of objects containing data for the current search/filter
//replace 1526 with the ID of your search form
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(14458)->current_query();
var_dump($sf_current_query->get_array());
?>

and

<?php
//Get a single fields values using labels
//replace 1526 with the ID of your search form
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(14458)->current_query();
echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string(“_sft_category”);

?>

Neither are able to pull the values I need.

I’d like to turn the Categories In: line to not be bulleted and be on the same line. If I can pull the category then it would be fine.

I tried the above codes at the top of the results.php and neither worked.

Any idea why ?

That doesn’t work. I used the following code:

<?php //Get a single fields values using labels
//replace 1526 with the ID of your search form
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(14458)->current_query();
echo $sf_current_query->get_field_string(“_sft_category”);
?>

The output is:

Categories: All Categories

What I had before was better since it displayed the proper category.

What I’m looking for is a way to display:

Category: CategoryName

And have the category linked to display the output as if selecting from the dropdown instead of a different layout.

This is the current page below which is almost there.

Just an update.
I tried to use following code but it seems that a function does not exists:

<?php
//Get an array of objects containing data for the current search/filter
//replace 1526 with the ID of your search form
global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1526)->current_query();
var_dump($sf_current_query->get_array());
?>

ERROR: Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in …

THANK YOU so much Ross for helping with my prior questions that are now RESOLVED.

Now I moved my Resources section that uses Search and Filter Pro live http://leadernet.org/featured-resources/ The search output goes to post type archive http://leadernet.org/resources/ .
When no search is performed I need this archive page title to say “Showing results for all resources” vs YOU SEARCHED FOR: nothing

I can’t figure it out.
I can check for the length of of my text entry $my_search_term
I’m lost trying to have an indicator of none of taxonomy checkboxes being selected.

$my_search_term = $sf_current_query->get_search_term();
$taxonomies = $sf_current_query->get_fields_html($fields, $args);
echo “<br> search term length is” . strlen($my_search_term); — is 0 when none in text box
echo “<br> term array length is” . count($taxonomies); — always 1 no matter selections

What am I missing?

Looking forward to your guidance, Nina

Hi Nina

It should be like the example I showed you – I’ve reformatted it to make it more readable:

$fields = array(
	"_sft_leadership",
	"_sft_management",
	"_sft_governance",
	"_sft_crosscutting"
);

$args = array(
	"field_delim" => "<br />",
	"delim" => ", ",
	"show_all_if_empty" => true
);

echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html($fields, $args);

field_delim is the delimiter between the data for each field,
delim is the delimiter between the actual options selected within a field

Thanks

Hello again Ross and thank you for your guidance!

I installed updated plugin. I saw the class code that utilizes replacing args.

I still have two questions:

Question 1. if this code is correct – meaning should $args be where it is now:

echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
array( “_sft_leadership”, “_sft_management”, “_sft_governance”, “_sft_crosscutting” )
$args
);

OR it should go inside of the () like I’m guessing – please see below

echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
array( “_sft_leadership”, “_sft_management”, “_sft_governance”, “_sft_crosscutting”, $args )

);

Question 2. After you confirm which version to use, I am not clear where to put this code.
When I try to add “my guess” version on the top of the archive page I see that args are not being replaced.

I on purpose changed the args to be explicitly different

$args = array(
“field_delim” => “X”,
“delim” => “,Y “,
“show_all_if_empty” => false
);

But when I use echo to output them, they come as: args are: , , – link to archive page is below
http://leadernetnina.wpengine.com/resources/?_sf_s=manager&_sft_leadership=leading-change%2Cmotivation

Sorry for being dense. As I said I’m a beginner.
Really need your help with this critical project.

Thank you again, Nina

Hi Nina

I noticed a PHP error in the active query class so I’ve just emailed you a fix.

Once you get that, you can pass an array of arguments to the function, which controls the delims between the fields, please see:

$args = array(
	"field_delim" => "",
	"delim" => ", ",
	"show_all_if_empty" => true
);

echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
	array( "_sft_leadership", "_sft_management", "_sft_governance", "_sft_crosscutting" )
	$args			
);

Hope that helps!

– a word of warning, there is still some functionality to add to this class, and as this is the first version, I already think that the syntax for accessing the methods of this class might change – be sure to keep an eye on the changelogs in the next couple of updates.

Thanks

Hello Ross,

when I select multiple checkboxes in my form the URL string has terms separated by comma(%2C)
http://leadernetnina.wpengine.com/resources/?_sft_leadership=culture%2Cemotional-intelligence%2Cleading-change

when I output the search variables on the page using your guidance:

<?php
echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
array( “_sft_leadership”, “_sft_management”, “_sft_governance”, “_sft_crosscutting” )
);

?>

I get this result: Leadership: CultureEmotional IntelligenceLeading Change
How do I turn output for user into: Culture, Emotional Intelligence, Leading Change ?

Thank you so much for your help!
– Nina
