Adding custom functions to S&F filtering

I think what you want is the filter function that allows you to do the same to our query, which is this:

Thanks maybe that the thing, but I am not very expert and I don’t know how to use it.

If I modified the function you suggest and I var_dump the results, I find exactly the list of post I should have, but still the filter doesn’t work

function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {
	
	//if search form ID = 225, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==225)
	{
	$posts = get_posts($query_args);
	$today_year = date('yy');
	$two_years_ago = $today_year - 2;
	$current = array();

		foreach( $posts as $post ) {
			$meta = get_post_meta($post->ID);

				$acf_year = $meta['anno'][0];
				if($acf_year < $two_years_ago) {
				$current[] = $post->ID;

		}
	}
	$query_args = $current;
	}
	
	return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );

Could you help through it?

What is the form/post ID of your form?

I see that the form ID is 243 on that page, but your code uses 225?? Try changing those instances in the code.

Sorry I already did it, but forgot to change it in the message to you. Still it doesn’t work.

There is an alternative solution, which actually I do not like too much (I tested it on my local website). I display the results in a the custom post type archive page -> that is not affected by the function avia_post_slide_query_mod, thus results are fine. To avoid showing wrong “year” posts I added a specific condition to the S&F form setup under the post meta tab. However this is not a good solution, as the condition should be manually reset every year (there is not a way to automatically define it on the timestamp year). Also, I do not like too much results being displayed in another page.

Hence, I would like to understand how can I force the S&F ajax call on the form taking in consideration that the search and filtering must be done only on displayed posts that are under the condition acf_field year < 2 years from timestamp year

thanks
