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
