Dynamically update Results URL

Anonymous

#219187

Hi,

Is there a hook/filter which I can use in order to dynamically update the Results URL of a form?

Each ‘shop’ on my website displays a users products via the form. However, each shop is obviously at a different url:

example.com/shop/amazing-lamps
example.com/shop/johns-tables

Currently it’s set to: example.com/shop/amazing-lamps
If I do a form search on: example.com/shop/johns-tables it will redirect be back to the above url instead for the results.

Therefore the URL needs changing on load. I know this is not a normal use-case but if I have a hook/filter to pass data to, to change that results url, that’ll work for me.

I realised that the results_url is simply a piece of post meta, meaning I could just:

Grab the form ID
Provide the meta key to update
Build a new url base

if ( $sfid == 29 ) {

// Dynamically update the search-and-filter results url.
$meta_key = ‘_search-filter-results-url’;
$results_url = home_url() . ‘/’ . ‘shop/’ . $store_user->data->user_nicename;

update_post_meta( $sfid, $meta_key, $results_url );
}

This works great, however just thinking if it’s suitable. If 10 people load a different shop url all at once, that post meta is going to rapidly change.

Anyway just providing my solution so far and open to thoughts ideas if needed.

I don’t know if it helps, but this filter:

In case someone else runs into this problem, this works to add the form to multiple pages:

function my_set_sf_resultsURL( $url, $sfid) {
$url = get_permalink();
return $url;

}
add_filter( ‘sf_results_url’, ‘my_set_sf_resultsURL’, 10, 2 );
