Custome query

Hi there,

I can get things working if I use the shortcode approach, utilising SAF’s own templates. However, I need to filter results displaying on the archive page, there is a basically an ACF checkbox ‘Show on the A-Z page’ (show_in_a_z_list), so I basically need to try and get SAF working with my custom archive page, unless I can make use of ACF on SAF’s template file?

Here is the code in my template, the SAF’s filters display, I just can get the AJAX side of things working, appreciate any help…

<?php

$posts = get_posts(array(
 'numberposts'	=> -1,
 'post_type'		=> 'brands',
 'meta_query'	=> array(
	 'relation'		=> 'AND',
	 array(
		 'key'	  	=> 'show_in_a_z_list',
		 'value'	  	=> '1',
		 'compare' 	=> '=',
	 ),
 ),
));

if( $posts ): ?>
	<?php echo do_shortcode( '[searchandfilter id="1132"]' ); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode( '[searchandfilter id="1132" show="results"]' ); ?>

<section class="blocks">
			<?php $i = 1; ?>
<?php foreach( $posts as $post ):

	setup_postdata( $post );
	?>
<div class="block-<?php echo $i++; ?>">
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
	<article>
					<?php $image = get_field( 'image' ); ?>
					<?php if ( $image ) { ?>
						<img src="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />
					<?php } ?>
	</article>
	</a>
	</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

</section>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

I think I understand. You would probably be better off using our Shortcode display results method on a real WordPress page instead of creating your own archive template.

If your goal is to only shows posts that have the meta key ‘show_in_a_z_list’ set a ‘1’ then you can do this in the Post Meta settings tab of the form. It might need to look like this:

OR this (I am not sure which would work):

If you need to modify our results.php template the guide is here:

If you need to output the value of an ACF field, and give it a label, the code shown in this post might help:
