Ok so I went through that tutorial – bedrooms was already one of the fields I need to sort by, so I thought it would be easy – however, I am having a lot of trouble with this still.
This is the code I put in my functions file:
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'my_pre_get_posts');
function my_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
if( is_admin() ) { return; }
$meta_query = $query->get('meta_query'); // get original meta query
// validate type
if( empty($_GET['bedrooms']) )
{
return;
}
// get types as an array
// - use explode to get an array of values from type=a|b|c
$bedrooms = explode('|', $_GET['bedrooms']);
// set compare for the meta_query
// - http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
$meta_query['relation'] = 'OR';
foreach( $bedrooms as $bedroom )
{
$meta_query[] = array(
'key' => 'bedrooms',
'value' => '"' . $bedroom . '"',
'compare' => 'LIKE',
);
}
$query->set('meta_query', $meta_query); // update the meta query args
return; // always return
}
This is the code I have on the page I want to have filtering:
<div id="search-houses">
<?php
$field = get_field_object('bedrooms');
$values = explode(',', $_GET['bedrooms']);
?>
<ul>
<?php foreach( $field['choices'] as $choice_value => $choice_label ): ?>
<li>
<input type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $choice_value; ?>" <?php if( in_array($choice_value, $values) ): ?>checked="checked"<?php endif; ?> /> <?php echo $choice_label; ?></li>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
$('#search-houses').on('change', 'input[type="checkbox"]', function(){
// vars
var $ul = $(this).closest('ul'),
vals = [];
$ul.find('input:checked').each(function(){
vals.push( $(this).val() );
});
vals = vals.join(",");
window.location.replace('<?php echo home_url('find-my-apartment'); ?>?bedrooms=' + vals);
console.log( vals );
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
This is the page: http://tlc.mainteractivegroup.com/find-my-apartment/
The first problem is that it is giving me a PHP error on this line:<?php foreach( $field['choices'] as $choice_value =>
The second problem is, when I add ?bedrooms=3 or any other number to the URL it goes to a 404 page.
The third thing I noticed – don’t know if this matters or not but when I add ?post_type=apartment to the URL it brings up the page just fine.
So I really need some help getting this part at least functional. I also don’t really understand completely how this function interacts with the existing loop I have on the page. You can see below the PHP error I have a loop that displays out all the apartments with the custom fields. Do I need to do anything to change that loop for this to work?
Thanks in advance!
