initial filter from query var

Hi,

I have search and filter pro, it’s a wonderful plugin!

I need to select the filter from the beginning with the value of ‘query var’ from another page.

I’ve done this:

$value = get_query_var('year');
....
<script>
$('input[value="<?php echo $value ; ?>"]').click();
</script>

But this method is far from ideal because first are charged all items then with click event the filter is activated.

Is there a better method?

Thanks

Hmmm its not something I’ve tried yet (but will be a feature in the future), you could also look at preventing a submit happen

So something using $('.searchandfilter').on("submit") and perhaps (e.stopEventPropogation()) only on the first submit (which is caused by your custom code)

Thanks

Something like this would be fantastic:

$value = get_query_var('year');

echo do_shortcode( '[searchandfilter id="131" metakey="year" value="'.$value.'"]'  ); 

Then filter with post meta ‘year’ is activated at start with value from query var.
