I need to output taxonomy terms separated by comma

#26393

Hello Ross,

when I select multiple checkboxes in my form the URL string has terms separated by comma(%2C)
http://leadernetnina.wpengine.com/resources/?_sft_leadership=culture%2Cemotional-intelligence%2Cleading-change

when I output the search variables on the page using your guidance:

<?php
echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
array( “_sft_leadership”, “_sft_management”, “_sft_governance”, “_sft_crosscutting” )
);

?>

I get this result: Leadership: CultureEmotional IntelligenceLeading Change
How do I turn output for user into: Culture, Emotional Intelligence, Leading Change ?

Thank you so much for your help!
– Nina

Hi Nina

I noticed a PHP error in the active query class so I’ve just emailed you a fix.

Once you get that, you can pass an array of arguments to the function, which controls the delims between the fields, please see:

$args = array(
	"field_delim" => "",
	"delim" => ", ",
	"show_all_if_empty" => true
);

echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
	array( "_sft_leadership", "_sft_management", "_sft_governance", "_sft_crosscutting" )
	$args			
);

Hope that helps!

– a word of warning, there is still some functionality to add to this class, and as this is the first version, I already think that the syntax for accessing the methods of this class might change – be sure to keep an eye on the changelogs in the next couple of updates.

Thanks

Hello again Ross and thank you for your guidance!

I installed updated plugin. I saw the class code that utilizes replacing args.

I still have two questions:

Question 1. if this code is correct – meaning should $args be where it is now:

echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
array( “_sft_leadership”, “_sft_management”, “_sft_governance”, “_sft_crosscutting” )
$args
);

OR it should go inside of the () like I’m guessing – please see below

echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html(
array( “_sft_leadership”, “_sft_management”, “_sft_governance”, “_sft_crosscutting”, $args )

);

Question 2. After you confirm which version to use, I am not clear where to put this code.
When I try to add “my guess” version on the top of the archive page I see that args are not being replaced.

I on purpose changed the args to be explicitly different

$args = array(
“field_delim” => “X”,
“delim” => “,Y “,
“show_all_if_empty” => false
);

But when I use echo to output them, they come as: args are: , , – link to archive page is below

Sorry for being dense. As I said I’m a beginner.
Really need your help with this critical project.

Thank you again, Nina

Hi Nina

It should be like the example I showed you – I’ve reformatted it to make it more readable:

$fields = array(
	"_sft_leadership",
	"_sft_management",
	"_sft_governance",
	"_sft_crosscutting"
);

$args = array(
	"field_delim" => "<br />",
	"delim" => ", ",
	"show_all_if_empty" => true
);

echo $sf_current_query->get_fields_html($fields, $args);

field_delim is the delimiter between the data for each field,
delim is the delimiter between the actual options selected within a field

Thanks

Thank you again Ross!

Getting really closer to desired output.
I was able to output results. I did not want to show All when nothing is selected for one of the fields,
so I changed “show_all_if_empty” => false

What still does not work for me is “delim is the delimiter between the actual options selected within a field” – options continue to come glued together.

Here is an example of two options chosen for each of two fields:
Leadership: CommunicationLeading Change
Governance: AccountabilityStewardship of Resources

Thank you for your continued guidance!

Sorry, I was wrong.
I lost track between several servers and I forgot to update the plugin on my testing server.
My apologies.

Delimiters are coming properly.

Thank you again Ross!
