I’ve had success getting the query variable for the taxonomy term “press-releases” using the code below, but cannot successfully retrieve the date range, either aggregated or individually as from date and to date. Can you enlighten me?

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(5277)->current_query();
$type = $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sft_resourcetype"); //returns press-releases
$daterange = $sf_current_query->get_field_string("post_date"); // returns nothing

Have also tried:
$daterange = $sf_current_query->get_field_string("_sfm_post_date"); // returns nothing, even with url reflecting _sfm_ prefix

Do you know if you have the name correct? You could use PHP to dump the $sf_current_query array, like this:

echo '<pre>';
print_r($sf_current_query);
echo '</pre>';

Trevor,

Between this and another support post that I located, this was indeed the solution:

$sarr = $sf_current_query->get_array();
$fromDate = $sarr[_sf_post_date][active_terms][0][value] ;
$toDate = $sarr[_sf_post_date][active_terms][1][value];

Thanks!
