Display multiple terms

#171604

I’ve been crunching through the forum, but not seeing an answer.

– – – – – – – –

I’m using the following code to display a list of current terms for the filtered search:

</php

global $searchandfilter;
 
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(99801)->current_query()->get_array();
echo '<strong>Filters</strong>';

if ( empty($sf_current_query ) ) {
  echo ' &bull; ' . "All" . "<br />";
} else {
  foreach($sf_current_query as $key) {
  echo ' &bull; ' . $key['active_terms'][0]['name'] . ' ';
}
}
echo "<br /><br />";

?>

– – – – – – –

My filter includes dropdowns and checkboxes. For example:

Market (dropdown)
Florida

Cuisines (checkboxes)
[ ] American
[X] Caribbean
[ ] Italian
[X] Mexican

– – – – – – –

The code works and the list displays, but it only shows one of the selected checkbox terms…

Filters • Florida • Mexican

Instead of…

Filters • Florida • Caribbean • Mexican
OR.. Filters • Florida • Caribbean, Mexican

I suspect that an array is required, but not sure what/where/how.

Please help this newbie out.

Thanks!

You are correct. You need to examine the data structure of the filter array and then, where multiple values are permitted, use a loop to output them.

You can print the filter array to screen with code like this:

$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1446)->current_query();
echo '<pre>';
print_r($sf_current_query->get_array());
echo '</pre>';

But then it is a matter of coding it in PHP. I cannot see an example code snippet on our forum though. I would have thought it possible to replace echo with explode where you are handling an array?

I hear you, but that’s a class beyond my current grade.
Anything you can help with, or…?

Okay, good news, I’m making progress…

This works for the array:

<?php 

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(99801)->current_query();

if ( empty($sf_current_query ) ) {
  echo '<strong>Filters</strong>' . ' &bull; ' . "All" . "<br /><br />";
} 
  else {
    $args = array(
    "str"  => '%2$s', 
    "delim"  => array(", ", " - "), 
    "field_delim"  => ', ', 
    "show_all_if_empty"  => false 
  );
  echo '<strong>Filters</strong>' . ' &bull; ' . $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(array("_sft_cuisine", "_sft_name"), $args);
  }
	
  echo '<br />';
?>

Now I need to pull in the $key[‘active_terms’][0][‘name’] from the original code (it will display before the array).

That will give me what I’m after…
Filters • Florida • Caribbean, Mexican

How do I combine it?

Actually, $key[‘active_terms’][0][‘name’] pulls from both the dropdown field (“Market”) and the array (“Cuisines”), so that code wouldn’t be correct. I need the dropdown selection followed by the array.

Trevor, thanks again for spending time with me today. I really appreciated it.

Good news, I finally figured it out!

Here’s the happy code:

<?php 

	global $searchandfilter;
	
	$args = array(
		"str" 					=> '%2$s', 
		"delim" 				=> array(", ", " - "), 
		"field_delim"			=> ', ', 
		"show_all_if_empty"		=> false 
	);
 
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(99801)->current_query()->get_array();
$sf_current_style_query = $searchandfilter->get(99801)->current_query()->get_fields_html(array("_sft_style", "_sft_name"),$args);
$sf_current_cuisine_query = $searchandfilter->get(99801)->current_query()->get_fields_html(array("_sft_cuisine", "_sft_name"),$args);
	
echo '<strong>Filters</strong>';

if ( empty($sf_current_query ) ) {
  echo ' &bull; ' . "All" . "<br /><br />";
} else {

  echo ' &bull; ' . $sf_current_query['_sft_category']['active_terms'][0]['name'] . ' &bull; ' . $sf_current_query['_sfm_wpcf-location-city']['active_terms'][0]['name'] . ' &bull; ' . $sf_current_style_query . ' &bull; ' . $sf_current_cuisine_query;
	echo "<br /><br />";
}
?>

Cheers!
