Show results <= value from ACF field

Anonymous

#249026

Hi,
I have a search form with a bunch of dropdowns with values coming from ACF. If the visitor selects say a price of $90/night I’d like S&F to return all properties with a price up to $90. At the moment it will return only those properties matching $90/night. I’ve tried to use the Edit Query Arguments but I’m probably doing it wrong as S&F then just stops working. Maybe a little example could help! Thanks
PS: If I may ask, why are there so many private answers in the forum?

I will take the last question first. Private answers will contain site sensitive information, where only the original thread creator and our tech support users can see the content. This happens a lot in technical support.

At the moment there is no easy to way to do as you want, so, if you are searching a custom field (post meta) you should select a Number type of search using a range, and manually set the start of the range to 0. The user can then select the upper range point.

Thank you for your quick reply Trevor.
I will keep the plugin. Hopefully you’ll add this function. Meantime I coded a custom query with an Elementor form. The number type range is nice but I had to edit the template to add some classes to style the labels which are set to H4 (if I well remember).
BTW, a bit off-topic but is it possible to create child templates/files?

I am not sure what you mean by:

is it possible to create child templates/files?

Sorry to the late reply. Your email landed in the spam folder.
I mean if I change the structure of a file in the plugins directory this change will be lost when I update the plugin. With WooCommerce for example I can create a copy of a template file and move it in the child theme folder and then edit it. Is it possible to the same with S&F? Thank you.

Only one of the Display Results methods uses a template that will look in the child theme folder, which is our Shortcode method, as detailed here:

https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/search-results/using-a-shortcode/#customising-the-results

A number of methods use theme templates, and follow the normal rules of using templates found in the child theme folder.

Which Display Results method are you using?

Well, now I coded the search filter as the plugin is not able to solve my issue (the reason of this thread). I did change the code of submit.php to add Elementor code for styling the submit button.
I would probably edit the range slider to add extra classes to better style the labels and the prefix text as I can’t for example say From [value field] – to [value] because there is only one prefix field in the Range filter.

The plugin looks promising. I hope you’ll add more options to it and many more classes, so we can style it more. Also, I hope you’ll add an option to have a horizontal layout. Let’s see v3!

And thank you for your quick replies Trevor!

Horizontal layout is covered on this page:

I will close this thread for now.
