Filter Dropdown options

Anonymous

#34104

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to filter the values of a dropdown to change them from post ID to post title?

I’ve seen this https://gist.github.com/rmorse/7b59b45a14b1ca179868 but php is not my strong point and so I’ve hit a brick wall.

Currently my dropdown is populated with a custom meta field and is displaying the associated post ID’s. I’d like to change those ID’s using get_the_title(); to instead show the post title.

Please can you offer any advice on how to do this?

Thanks

Hi Jacob sorry for the delay.

You’re almost there.

First, you have only 1 = in the first if statement.

So it does the code for every single field – this needs to be changed to a double ==

Second, I think likely you got the fieldname wrong – see here on how to get the correct fieldname:

http://www.designsandcode.com/documentation/search-filter-pro/accessing-search-data/#How_to_get_the_field_name

Here is your code updated (and I’m guessing the field name is from meta data, otherwise you need to find the name as link just above:

<?php
function filter_input_object($input_object, $sfid) {
	
	if(($input_object['name'] == '_sfm_workshop_location')) {
		
		foreach($input_object['options'] as $option) {
			$option->label = get_the_title($option->value);
		}
		
		return $input_object;
	}
	else {
		
		return $input_object;
	}
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_input_object', 10, 2);

?>

Thanks
