Creating Dynamic Search Filters

#42128

Hi Nicholas. Are companies a Custom Post Type? If they are, in the WP Post editor for each company, as you edit or add a new one, do you want whoever is authoring them to be able to add the Districts and Regions themselves, or pick from a pre-defined list?

Secondly, will you also want pages for Regions and Districts, to be able to show the companies listed in them?

It may be that what you are trying to create is what is called a relational database, which is very hard to do in WordPress but can be faked using iframes, IF you have a flexible enough theme. I am building a demo one right now as a music ‘Gig Guide’.

You say that you picked the field _insurance BUT, if you scroll down the list past all those that start with an underscore, you will see that the list is repeated WITHOUT the underscore, and you need to pick from those.

Start filter search with no preloaded results.

I think that you ask the same question as here:

https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/no-initial-results/

It IS possible, but you would need to do some coding and the code would be dependent on your theme and the code already present in the theme templates.

Do you have a live URL I can see this on? What are the select dropdowns based on (categories, taxonomies)?

Hi Kathryn

This somehow dropped out of my ‘to do’ list. Can we don this using something like Skype? It will be way faster if we can conference using share screens. I will add my details as a separate private reply.

I would need Ross to definitively confirm this, but I do not think this is possible. It is not the way WordPress works.

More than one page with Search and Filter Pro (EDD)

#42076

The key is that search and filter pro needs a discrete URL and an actual page in WordPress. As such you may not need a different template (we make no changes to the EDD templates). Let me give an example. I have an EDD test site with S&F on. The shop page is this:

http://sandfdev.cdnwebservices.net/shop/

This is actually a special version of this:

http://sandfdev.cdnwebservices.net/downloads/

It is special because the shop link is actually a page in the WordPress admin, whereas the downloads url is one that WordPress creates for the downloads CPT archives.

Let us imagine that I wanted to have a page just for poems (a downloads category in my shop). The WordPress created url for this page is:

http://sandfdev.cdnwebservices.net/downloads/category/poems/

But, in order for you to control the EDD layout and to add the S&F form and filter, you need an actual page in WordPress, but there isn’t one. Which is where that plugin I linked to, I suspect, comes in. But I would prefer Ross to comment, as he knows way more than me.
