I understand what you need, and it has been asked for before. It is possible to set the default, but it does not alter the results shown until a search is done. V3 should have the option of setting the default and it affecting the results.

The problem with setting the default is that the same code (it has to be done either with JavaScript post page load, or by PHP pre-form load using our filter input objects filter) tends to override any choices made by the user.

As I have no snippets to hand, I have asked Ross, the plugin developer, if he can provide you an example.

Hi there

I understand the scenario.

We have a filter, to change the default in the search form, but this won’t affect the results.

This would be the code (untested ofc):

function filter_input_object_categories($input_object, $sfid){

	//ensure we are only filtering the correct field name - in this case the field we want to filter has the name <code>_sft_marketplace</code>
	if($input_object['name']!='_sft_marketplace'){
		return $input_object;
	}
	
	//manually set the values shown/selected in the field - must be array even if single value
	//this should really only occur under specific conditions, otherwise your field will be permanently set to this value
	
	//if the field is not already in use / selected
	if(!isset($_GET['_sft_marketplace'])){
		//then set it to "best wordpress app themes"
		$input_object['defaults'] = array("best-wordpress-app-themes");
	}
	return $input_object;
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_input_object_categories', 10, 2);

Thanks

Hi there

Do you mean the results do not reflect the new “default” we are setting?

Thanks
