Problem with filter logic

Yes. A posts, B posts, and A+B posts.

Just a quick precision. Showing A, B and A+B items when A & B are selected is already working.
What is not is showing only A items (not A+B) when you only select A.

Hi again
Here is the beginning of a solution. Maybe not the best but it’s a starting point.

When you use multiselect or checkboxes (I use Advanced Custom Fields but I suppose default custom fields behave the same), multiple meta_values are stored like this :
a:3:{i:0;s:5:"name1";i:1;s:5:"name2";i:2;s:5:"name3";}
The way I understand this, a counts the number of lines, i is the index, and s counts the number of letters in the value label.

Let’s say S&F offers a new option besides AND and OR operators (though you can’t really call this an operator): “Posts with multiple values for the same key must have each of those values in the options selected.

When submitting the form, test each selected option. Count 1 for a positive test. Add 1 for each valid option.
Then compare the result to the number of lines for this meta_key.
If result = number of lines, show this post,
else don’t show this post.

How does that sound? It works on paper. ^^

Hey Julien

Yup I follow the logic here its just a little more complex because S&F uses its own caching system too combined with WP_Query – so its a bit about implementation, and also how to provide this as an option to a user (which is clear and easy to understand).

I’ll have to have a further look to see if its possible to add in – just busy working on the next update at the moment and this requires me to do some serious debugging around the code.

Thanks

Ok Ross, thanks for considering this.
I hope we’ll talk about it later.
On the time being, good luck with the update and debugging.

Dear Ross
I hope you’re all good.
I dare a short message to try and see if there is any plan for the request I made. For now, I can’t use the plugin, but I hope you will find time and interest to create this. I’ll be more than glad to help you in any way I could.
Thanks

PS : btw, I can’t update to latest version (2.1.2). I keep getting “Download failed. Unauthorized” messages.

Hey Julien

Can you try disable & re-activate your license and the plugin update again?

RE the updates, I’m afraid I didn’t quite get anywhere with them just yet – there are a few large features at the top of my priority list which are just taking a lot longer for me to get round to.

Thanks

Hi Ross
Disabling and reactivating the licence didn’t work.

An error occurred while updating Search & Filter Pro: Download failed. Unauthorized

Regarding the feature request, I understand. If you don’t mind, I will contact you from time to time to know if you think you might have time to work on it. Maybe I could be of some help.
Regards
