Hi
I’d like to do a filter/search for my custom field types.
Is there a plugin/or sample code anyone has tried using which works well. In effect I’d like to achieve something like this…
http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/samsung-computing/laptops/laptops/315_3226_30328_43_ba00002921-bv00301568-ba00002920-bv00196049/400-650-criteria.html
Where I’d be able to filter the custom post types.
Any advice, guidance or tips would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks
Hi @codynew
No worries, i should realy find some time to write a tutorial about this, but it is quite easy.
First, you need to render out your filters – I’ll leave this bit to you. The filteres should be clickable links to the same url with an added $_GET param that contains the filter name and filter value eg:
website.com/filter-page/?foo=bar&foo2=bar2
Next, you need to edit the page template and look at the available $_GET params. Use these to modify the $args that you then send to the WP_Query class.
Loop through the query results and then output the HTML.
Easy!
Good luck
Thanks
