Rewriting Base URL on Results Generation

Anonymous

#24291

Hi,

I inherited a WordPress website built by another developer and I am 95% sure they have modified Search & Filter Pro so as to reuse the same search filter on multiple places on the site. I recently updated the plugin and the filter doesn’t work like it used to.

The way it should work is that if a user is on:

mysite.com/page/custom-post-type

and they submit a filter for “foo”

it would load the results at

mysite.com/page/custom-post-type?sft_type=foo

The results would thus appear on the same “page” where the filter was applied. AJAX is not being used.

However, since I updated the plugin, on Apply, I get

mysite.com/?sft_type=foo

The results are dropping the URL segments. Now, unfortunately, I can’t use the “Results URL” field in the settings for the Filter because this same widget is used on dozens of these kinds of “pages” (generated using custom-post-types). So the Results URL is always changing.

Anyway, my theory is that the original developer modified S&F pro to dynamically append the correct URL segments to the base URL on Apply.

Sorry for the long question, but this problem is killing me: any advice where I might go looking in the S&F code for this modification?

Hey there

The latest version of S&F (2.0) allows it to be used on post type archives – this might be what you are looking for it might not…?

I can send you advance or you wait for official release (still writing the docs) in the next few days.

Thanks

Hi Ross,

Thanks! I know you must be busy right now.

I’d definitely appreciate a look at the new version ASAP — I need to get this fixed.

Cheers,

Hi Ross,

I’d still like to take you up on your offer of getting 2.0 ASAP so I can figure out if it’s going to work for us.

Cheers,

Adam

Hi Ross,

Been playing around with the new S&F Pro on my dev server and it’s ALMOST working. But now, instead of losing URL segments, when I submit the results, the new URL is missing the “?”.

e.g.
mysite.com/page/custom-post-type/?_sft_type=foo

on submit of filter “bar”
mysite.com/page/custom-post-type/_sft_type=foo&sft_type=bar

Any thoughts?
