Search Results for 'sf_input_object_pre'

[Trevor]

The problem is that the data is not stored in the post meta table field as correctly serialized data (in the normal WordPress format), so, our cache building code sees it as one big term, rather than separate terms.

This post asked a similar question:

https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/explode-custom-field-into-several-records-on-the-cache-table/

The sf_input_object_pre filter could only work if the values had been cached separately (in fact, chances are you would not have needed your code at all).

Hi Trevor,
thanks for the link, but I’m not sure what I should do now.
I understand I have to enter the field name it concerns:

function filter_function_name($input_object, $sfid)
{
  if($input_object['name']=='_company_name')
  {
    //udpate this field before rendering
  }
  
  return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_function_name', 10, 2);

But beyond that, I don’t know how to trim it down to 10 and how to sort them by number. I went through the code on the github page that is referred to, but that doesn’t bring me further. Can you help me get this right?

As this is a Taxonomy/Category/Tag field, then you will need to code a solution. You can use this filter in your child theme’s functions.php file:

https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/action-filter-reference/#filter-input-object

To re-order the terms in the field.

I am not sure if it will help, but if there are many snippets already in the forum, this forum search should find them:

If it is a Post Meta field, then you can set the source to Manual and drag and drop them. If it is a Taxonomy, then you will need to code a solution. You can use this filter in your child theme’s functions.php file:

To re-order the terms in the field.

While this thread is a few months old, here is the code for my solution used for a current project. The code below gets the terms for the taxonomy called ‘commodity_codes’ and then updates the Search and Filter field ‘_sft_commodity_codes’ in my search forms by leaving the value intact for the query and simply updating the label to be a concatenation of the term name and the first 21 characters of the description with camel casing.

Thanks to the gist here: https://gist.github.com/rmorse/7b59b45a14b1ca179868

function filter_function_name($input_object, $sfid)
{
	if($input_object['name']=='_sft_commodity_codes')
	{
		//if we want to filter the options generated, we need to make sure the options variable actually exists before proceeding (its only available to certain field types)
		if(!isset($input_object['options']))
		{
			return $input_object;
		}
		
		//get the terms for the taxonomy
		$terms = get_terms('commodity_codes');
		
		//now we know there are options we can loop through each one, and change what we need
		foreach($input_object['options'] as $option)
		{
			foreach($terms as $term)
			{
				if($term->name==$option->value)
				{//we want to change the label for the option "black" - we can feed back in the count number to the label for this field type
					$option->label = $term->name . ' : ' . ucwords(substr($term->description,0,21));
				}
			}
		}
	}
	
	return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_function_name', 10, 2);

Hope this helps others.

I think it should be this:

//Search & filters hook

function update_range_field_mileage($input_object, $sfid)
{
//make sure we affect the '_sfm_standby_power_esp_kvs_nr' field only
if($input_object['name']=='_sfm_standby_power_esp_kvs_nr' && $sfid==1893)
{
//udpate this field before rendering
//all the options are stored in $input_object['options'] as an array
$new_options = array();

//create a new "default" option
$new_option = new StdClass();
$new_option->value = "";
$new_option->label = "kVA";
array_push($new_options, $new_option);

//create a new range option we want to add
$new_option = new StdClass();
$new_option->value = "10+50"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
$new_option->label = "10 – 50"; //the label can be anything
array_push($new_options, $new_option);//create a new range option we want to add

$new_option = new StdClass();
$new_option->value = "51+200"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
$new_option->label = "51 – 200"; //the label can be anything
array_push($new_options, $new_option);

$new_option = new StdClass();
$new_option->value = "201+400"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
$new_option->label = "201 – 400"; //the label can be anything
array_push($new_options, $new_option);

$new_option = new StdClass();
$new_option->value = "401+700"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
$new_option->label = "401 – 700"; //the label can be anything
array_push($new_options, $new_option);

$new_option = new StdClass();
$new_option->value = "701+1500"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
$new_option->label = "701 – 1500"; //the label can be anything
array_push($new_options, $new_option);

$new_option = new StdClass();
$new_option->value = "1501+2500"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
$new_option->label = "1501 – 2500"; //the label can be anything
array_push($new_options, $new_option);

//now replace the options with our own custom options:
$input_object['options'] = $new_options;
}

return $input_object;
}

Hi Trevor

Thanks.

Can you just check if it is done correctly with form id if($sfid==1893)

Thanks

Hi

Great to speak with you Sasha. The link for the main function was this:

https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/range-overlap/#post-231607

Testing the form id would make it look like this:

function update_range_field_mileage($input_object, $sfid)
{
	//make sure we affect the '_sfm_mileage' field only, and only in form ID 12345
	if( $sfid == 12345 && $input_object['name']=='_sfm_mileage' )
	{
		//udpate this field before rendering
		//all the options are stored in <code>$input_object['options']</code> as an array
		$new_options = array();
		
		//create a new "default" option
		$new_option = new StdClass();
		$new_option->value = "";
		$new_option->label = "KM Stand";
		array_push($new_options, $new_option);
		
		//create a new range option we want to add
		$new_option = new StdClass();
		$new_option->value = "0+49999"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
		$new_option->label = "0 - 49999"; //the label can be anything
		array_push($new_options, $new_option);//create a new range option we want to add
		
		$new_option = new StdClass();
		$new_option->value = "50000+99999"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
		$new_option->label = "50000 - 99999"; //the label can be anything
		array_push($new_options, $new_option);
		
		$new_option = new StdClass();
		$new_option->value = "100000+150000"; //this is the value that goes in the URL, which affects the query
		$new_option->label = "100000 - 150000"; //the label can be anything
		array_push($new_options, $new_option);
		
		
		//now replace the options with our own custom options:
		$input_object['options'] = $new_options;
	}
	
	return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'update_range_field_mileage', 10, 2);

Do let me know how you get on?

There ARE some shared snippets on the forum. Try this search:

https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/search/sf_input_object_pre+function+order/

If you produce something, but it doesn’t quite work, by all means share the code for us to take a look at. Custom coding doesn’t really fall within the scope of our support, but we will help where we can.

Hi Sunny

You can replace the ID’s, by post title, by adding this to functions.php:

function filter_input_object($input_object, $sfid) {
	
	if(($input_object['name'] == '_sfm_podsrelationship')) {
		
		foreach($input_object['options'] as $option) {
			$option->label = get_the_title($option->value);
		}
		
		return $input_object;
	}
	else {
		
		return $input_object;
	}
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_input_object', 10, 2);

Make sure to change the name of the field to match yours:
_sfm_podsrelationship

To find your field name, just check the URL when you do a search:
https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/accessing-search-data/?sfref=dc#how-to-get-the-field-name

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks
