Search Results for 'sf_edit_query_args'

[Ross]

There shouldn’t be a custom query inside the filter itself, the filter is used to modify the arguments before they get passed to a query – the code should look like:

function results_map_filter( $query_args, $sfid ) {
	
	//if search form ID = 1530, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==1530)
	{
		//modify $query_args here before returning it
		$query_args['posts_per_page'] = -1;
	}
	
	return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'results_map_filter', 10, 20 );

Thanks

I have no idea if your code is roughly correct, but it is not semantically correct.

It would look like this to be correct from a PHP point of view, I think:

<?php
function results_map_filter( $results_map_args, $sfid ) {
  if($sfid==1530) {
    $results_map = get_posts( $results_map_args );
    if (have_posts() ) {
      $results_map_args = array(
        'post_type' => 'posttype',
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'post_status' => 'publish',
        'cache_results' => true,
        'no_found_rows' => true
      );
    }
    return $results_map_args;
  }
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'results_map_filter', 10, 2 );
?>

You would use this in your child theme functions.php file, which should already have the opening PHP tag <?php, so you wouldn’t need that from the code, and it is NOT normal to close the PHP tags ?> at the end of the functions.php file as this can cause a site to crash.

I could well be wrong with the code though.

Can you please explain more. I have this code now but the number of results don’t change

<?php function results_map_filter( $results_map_args, $sfid ) {
if($sfid==1530) {
$results_map_args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘posttype’,
‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘cache_results’ => true,
‘no_found_rows’ => true
);
}
return $results_map_args;
}
add_filter( ‘sf_edit_query_args’, ‘results_map_filter’, 10, 2 );
$results_map = get_posts( $results_map_args );
if (have_posts() ) :
?>

Hey Matt

This is pretty tricky actually.

Since the introduction of the cache, most queries are sent off to the cache DB, and they return a number of IDs… which are placed inside the post__in field in a query.

So, I’m actually scratching my head as to how we could do this.

There is a filter for modifying the query:

http://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/action-filter-reference/#Edit_Query_Arguments

add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 10, 2 );

Which should be used like:

function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {
	
	//if search form ID = 225, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==225)
	{
		//modify $query_args here before returning it
		$query_args['post__in'] = array(1,2,3,4);
	}
	
	return $query_args;
}

Which S&F also uses for setting up the query – and will probbably overeride this withe the results from the S&F cache.

Try initializing hook much later (so S&F has finished with the post__in var):

add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 10, 200 );

Thanks

Hey Paul

You don’t need to do this via query args – you can do all this via the posts tab.

If it must be dynamic and via the query args, then its the same as when using the standard new WP_Query($args)

https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/action-filter-reference/#Edit_Query_Arguments

So, to modify orderby you need this part of the WP docs:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters

Updating the S&F filter example with the example from the WP site on order:

$args = array(
	'orderby' => 'title',
	'order'   => 'DESC'
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

Will update the filter like:

function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {
	
	//if search form ID = 225, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==225)
	{
		//modify $query_args here before returning it
		$query_args['orderby'] = 'title';
		$query_args['order'] = 'DESC';
		
	}
	
	return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 10, 2 );

Thanks

Hi there

If you must edit the query best not to hack the plugin directly 😉

Instead, you can use the filter sf_edit_query_args – which allows you to change any of the parameters that are passed to the query:

https://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/action-filter-reference/#Edit_Query_Arguments

If you lower the priority to say 20:

add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );

This will happen after S&F has setup the query.

This means you should be able to access the object like:

function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {
	
	//if search form ID = 225, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==225)
	{
		//modify $query_args here before returning it
                
		//here you can limit the length of 's' which is the search term
		$query_args['s'] = "overwritten search term";
	}
	
	return $query_args;
}

Thanks

Ross,
I just tested this and found that if I display results using the search.php then the filter can’t use the get_queried_object()->name; , but if I display results using the shortcode method within the same taxonomy template, the get_queried_object()->name; is usable for the query filter.

Here’s what I currently have:

function member_query_args( $query_args, $sfid ) {
	
	$current_member_category = get_queried_object()->name;
	
  if($sfid==3906) {
	 $query_args = array(
    'member-category' => $current_member_category
	);
  }
  return $query_args;
}

add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'member_query_args', 10, 2 );

OK,
I’m able to get this to filter:

function member_query_args( $query_args, $sfid ) {

if($sfid==3906) {
$query_args = array(
‘member-category’ => ‘hotels-motels’
);
}
return $query_args;
}

How can I go about dynamically placing the value of member-category ?

add_filter( ‘sf_edit_query_args’, ‘member_query_args’, 10, 2 );

Hello Support,
I’m trying to filter search results based on a taxonomy item. I’m trying to this code that I found in the forum, but I can’t get it to work even just using $query_args[‘order’] = ‘desc’;

What am I doing wrong here? Below is the the code I’ve been trying.

function sf_filter_query_args( $query_args, $sfid ) {

if($sfid==3906) {
$query_args[‘member-category’] = get_queried_object()->name;
//$query_args[‘order’] = ‘desc’;
}
return $query_args;
}

add_filter( ‘sf_edit_query_args’, ‘sf_filter_query_args’, 10, 2 );

Hi Sergey

Its just the same as the $args object you pass to a new WP_Query – so this link should provide you with the necessary options:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

To take their category example and apply it to the S&F filter:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Category_Parameters

=

<?php
function sf_filter_query_args( $query_args, $sfid ) {
  
  //if search form ID = 225, the do something with this query
  if($sfid==225)
  {
  	//modify $query_args here before returning it
        //only show results within categories with these IDs
  	$query_args['cat'] = '2,6,17,38';
  }
  return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'sf_filter_query_args', 10, 2 );
?>

Thanks
