Echo custom field name on results page

Anonymous

#246480

On NovaScotiaFood.com I have a search form that uses AND as an operator. The user simply selects a category of food producer and a county, and they get a list of that type of food producer in the selected county. The search works fine. The results are not yet displaying the way I’d like.

I’ve just copied some of your example code on my results page:

<?php
	//Get a multiple fields values by passing an array of field names
	//replace <code>1526</code> with the ID of your search form
	global $searchandfilter;
	$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1949)->current_query();

	/*
	 * EXAMPLE 1 
	 */

	echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
		array("_sft_category", "_sft_meta_value")
	);

where I just tried to guess that ‘_sft_meta_value’ would output the custom field entry that was searched for, but I guessed wrong. What should I be putting in there instead to correctly output the custom field? Thanks.

Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?

Search form is in a widget called “Search by county” on any page but the front one.

Example:

Results page:

_sft_meta_value, would, I think, be _sfm_county

So, you would echo something like this:

echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(array("_sft_category"));
echo $sf_current_query["_sfm_county"]["active_terms"][0]["value"];

With County, that code assumes you have just one term selected. If none are selected, you might have first to test if that has a value. Like this:

echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(array("_sft_category"));
$county = $sf_current_query["_sfm_county"]["active_terms"][0]["value"];
if ($county) {
echo $county;
} else {
echo "All Counties";
}

If you allow more than one county, it would get a little more complicated, but not much.

I popped in the first two lines of PHP you recommended but it throws this error for the second line:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use object of type Search_Filter_Active_Query as array in /home/willi413/public_html/novascotiafood.com/wp-content/themes/nova-scotia-food/search-filter/results.php:51 Stack trace: #0 /home/willi413/public_html/novascotiafood.com/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/public/includes/class-search-filter-query.php(1148): include() #1 /home/willi413/public_html/novascotiafood.com/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/public/includes/class-search-filter-display-results.php(48): Search_Filter_Query->the_results() #2 /home/willi413/public_html/novascotiafood.com/wp-content/plugins/search-filter-pro/public/includes/class-search-filter-display-shortcode.php(884): Search_Filter_Display_Results->output_results(1949, Array) #3 /home/willi413/public_html/novascotiafood.com/wp-includes/shortcodes.php(343): Search_Filter_Display_Shortcode->display_shortcode(Array, ”, ‘searchandfilter’) #4 [internal function]: do_shortcode_tag(Array) #5 /home/willi413/public_html/novascotiafood.com/wp-includes/shortcod in /home/willi413/public_html/novascotiafood.com/wp-content/themes/nova-scotia-food/search-filter/results.php on line 51

Ah. Try this then:

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1949)->current_query()->get_array();

echo implode(", ",$sf_current_query['_sft_category']['active_terms']);
$county = $sf_current_query["_sfm_county"]["active_terms"][0]["value"];
if ($county) {
echo $county;
} else {
echo "All Counties";
}

I am coding a bit blind here though. Notice how the second line changed, and the way the category output is changed?

I do, thanks. However, it’s now outputting the text ‘ArrayAntigonish’ (or ‘Array’ + whatever county is selected) and it’s not outputting category name. I have tried to puzzle through this to see if I can work out how to fix it myself but my PHP just isn’t good enough.

Here’s a link to a sample results page.

What I’d like it to say is something like “You searched for Breweries, Distilleries, and Vineyards in Antigonish County” and then the results.

Below is the full code of results.php. If you can offer any more insight I’d be grateful.

I have edited and tested it for you. This is the code I used in the end:

	global $searchandfilter;
	$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(1949)->current_query()->get_array();
	$category = $sf_current_query['_sft_category']['active_terms'][0]["name"];
	$county = $sf_current_query["_sfm_county"]["active_terms"][0]["name"];
	if ($category) {
		echo $category . ", ";
	} else {
		echo "All Categories, ";
	}
	if ($county) {
		echo $county;
	} else {
		echo "All Counties";
	}

You may edit that to make it look better though.
