Search Results for 'sf_input_object_pre'

[Anonymous]

I was able to modify the dropdown filter via a hook but it seems that the dropdown filter is not working even without using the hook in the first place.(return no result)
Do you know why?

fyi this is the function I used.

function sf_input_object_pre_mod($input_object,$sfid){
  if($sfid==151){
if($input_object['name']=='_sfm_property_bedroom'||$input_object['name']=='_sfm_property_bathroom'){
	  $opts = $input_object['options'];
      foreach($opts as $ok=>$ov){
        $input_object['options'][$ok]->label = preg_replace('/ .+/','',$ov->label);
        $input_object['options'][$ok]->value = preg_replace('/\+.+/','+99',$ov->value);
      }
    }
  }
  return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre','sf_input_object_pre_mod',10,2);

so here is my testing filter:

function filter_lat_long($input_object, $sfid) {	
	if(!isset($input_object['options']))
	{
		return $input_object;
	}
	
	if(($input_object['name']=='_sfm_location') && ($sfid=='23')) {
		
		foreach($input_object['options'] as $option) {
			
			$option->value =  'Hello';
			
		}
	}	
	return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_lat_long', 10, 2);

however, $option->value = "Hello"; is not changing the options to “Hello” in the form. what am I missing here?

So, something like this:

function filter_location($input_object, $sfid)
{
	if(($input_object['name']=='_sfm_location') && ($sfid=="23"))
	{
		//udpate this field before rendering
	}
	
	return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_location', 10, 2);

I can’t give you a specific snippet, but there may be some on our forum. But, yes, looping through the array and matching would be the way to go.

This search will find many:

Trevor,

Thanks for all your help. I was able to find some code and have adapted it to work the way we need. It’s below incase you need it for anyone else

function filter_function_name($input_object, $sfid) {

        if ($input_object['name'] == '_sfm_attorneys') {

		global $coauthors_plus;
			
		// Update option labels before rendering

			foreach($input_object['options'] as $key => $option) {

						$my_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'attorney', 'p' => $option->value));
						while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
							$att_first = types_render_field("att_first", array());
							$att_last = types_render_field("att_last", array());

							$input_object['options'][$key]->label = $att_last . ', ' . $att_first;
				
						endwhile;

	        	}

	        	// Sort options...

	        		$sortArray = array(); 

	        		foreach($input_object['options'] as $option) { 

				    foreach($option as $key => $value) { 

				        if(!isset($sortArray[$key])) { 

				            $sortArray[$key] = array(); 

				        } 

				        $sortArray[$key][] = $value; 

				    }

				}

				// ...by label

	        		$orderby = "label";

				array_multisort($sortArray[$orderby],SORT_ASC,$input_object['options']); 

	}
		
		// Return

			return $input_object;

	}

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

Trevor,

Thanks for the link. I’ve been able to add a function and it’s now displaying the Attorneys in the correct order but how do I get it to hide the attorneys without a post like it does by default? Right now it’s displaying all attorneys even if there’s no news associated to the attorney,

function sf_edit_author_field_order($input_object, $sfid)
{
	if( $input_object['name'] == '_sfm_attorneys' ) {
        // requery the author list
        $my_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'attorney', 'meta_key' => 'wpcf-att_last', 'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'order' => 'ASC', 'showposts' => -1));
		while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
		$att_first = types_render_field("att_first", array());
		$att_last = types_render_field("att_last", array());
		$theid = get_the_ID();
        // go through users and get their user_nicename and display_name
        //foreach( $my_query as $user ) {
            $new_users[] = (object) array(
                'attributes' => array(
                    'class' => 'sf-level-0'
                ),
                'value' => $theid,
                'label' => $att_last . ', ' . $att_first,
                'count' => 1
            );
        endwhile;
        $input_object['options'] = $new_users;
	}
	
	return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'sf_edit_author_field_order', 10, 2);

The Problem: I need to load an author dropdown on the filter with just the Editors

I have a Filter for my site, with several fields, one of them is Author, but the website has more than 15.000 users registered and get a timeout error every time the field is enabled.

I’ve tried this to re write the author field with a more manageable amount of users (only the Editors) but with no luck the idea was to remove all content from _sf_author and replace it with the editors

`
function filter_authors($input_object, $sfid)
{
if (($input_object[‘name’] != ‘_sf_author’) || ($input_object[‘type’] != ‘select’)) {
return $input_object;
}

unset($input_object[‘options’]);
$input_object[‘options’] = array();

// Generate first array option (default)
$first_option = new StdClass();
$first_option->value = ”;
$first_option->label = ‘All Authors’;

//attributes
$first_option->attributes = array(
‘title’ => ‘All Authors’,
);

array_push($input_object[‘options’], $first_option);

//change classes & attributes of the field
$input_object[‘attributes’][‘class’] = ‘user_filter’;
$input_object[‘attributes’][‘title’] = ‘Authors’;

//add/override prefix & postfix to the field
$input_object[‘prefix’] = “Filter by Author”;

//Check if options variable exists
if (!isset($input_object[‘options’])) {
return $input_object;
}

//Create new users array
$args = array(
‘role’ => ‘editor’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
‘orderby’ => ‘display_name’,
);

// Create the WP_User_Query object
$wp_user_query = new WP_User_Query($args);
$authors = $wp_user_query->get_results();
foreach ($authors as $author) {
// get all the user’s data
$author_info = get_userdata($author->ID);
//create new options with user values
$new_option = new StdClass();
$new_option->value = $author_info->user_login;
$new_option->label = $author_info->first_name . ‘ ‘ . $author_info->last_name;

//attributes
$new_option->attributes = array(
‘title’ => $author_info->user_login,
);
array_push($input_object[‘options’], $new_option);
}
return $input_object;
}
// add_filter(‘sf_input_object_pre’, ‘filter_authors’, 10, 2);
`
Using this approach i change a meta field and filled it with the Editors data, but then the post request was send as _sfm_editors and not _sf_author and i couldn’t find a way to replace this request for the one i needed.

Also tried building my own query accessing the search data and using the hook sf_results_url to change the url, but i cannot change the search query with it.

I’m running out of ideas, appreciate your time to check my issue and any new ideas on how to solve it.

function filter_input_object($input_object, $sfid)
{
	if($input_object['name']!='_sf_post_type')
	{
		return $input_object;
	}

	if(!isset($input_object['options']))
	{
		return $input_object;
	}
	
	foreach($input_object['options'] as $option)
	{
		if($option->value=="post")
		{
			$option->label = "News";
		}
	}
	
	return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_input_object', 10, 2);

Something like this, but in the first like change the $sfid for the actual ID number of the form. This code goes in the child theme functions.php file. I think I have it correct.

Hi Thomas

So I’ve found a better way to do this (that can be search form specific).

The code in full (so remove everything else we’ve added:

function filter_input_object_radio($input_object, $sfid){

	if(($input_object['name']!='_sf_post_type')||($input_object['type']!='radio'))
	{
		return $input_object;
	}
	
	if(isset($input_object['options'])){
		//remove the first option from the array
		$removed_option = array_shift($input_object['options']);
	}
	
	//now set the default value in the field
	//make sure we only modify a field belonging to a specific Search Form, by ID
	if($sfid==15485){ //replace 15485 with your search form ID
		//make sure the field is not set
		if(!isset($_GET['post_types'])){
			//then set it to "post"
			$input_object['defaults'] = array("post");
		}
	}
	
	return $input_object;
}

add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_input_object_radio', 10, 2);

function set_default_post_type_query( $query_args, $sfid ) {
	
	//if search form ID = 225, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==15485) //replace 15485 with your search form ID
	{
		//modify $query_args here before returning it
		if(!isset($_GET['post_types'])){
			$query_args['post_type'] = 'post';
		}
	}
	
	return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'set_default_post_type_query', 20, 2 );

The only thing you have to replace is the search form ID of 15485 (there are 2 instances of this) – swap this out to match the ID of the search form on the homepage and it should work 🙂

Best

Hi Thomas

Because we know the first option is the option we want to remove, we can do it a bit easier like this:

function filter_input_object($input_object, $sfid){

	if(($input_object['name']!='_sf_post_type')||($input_object['type']!='radio'))
	{
		return $input_object;
	}
	
	if(isset($input_object['options'])){
		//remove the first option from the array
		$removed_option = array_shift($input_object['options']);
	}	
	
	return $input_object;
}

add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_input_object', 10, 2);

Now, I’m guessing that this will work (I didn’t test but it looks correct), however, I think next you want the results to be default fitlered by this option?

Thanks
