Hi I’m having trouble with a Select that has multiple values selected.
$select_categories_to_show_ids = get_field('select_categories_to_show');
$number_to_shows = get_field( 'number_to_show' );
$main_sector = get_field( 'select_main_sector' );
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => $number_to_shows,
'posttype' => 'projects',
'orderby'=>'date',
'order'=>'DESC',
'meta_key' => 'select_main_sector',
'meta_value' => $main_sector,
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'service_sectors',
'terms' => $select_categories_to_show_ids,
),
),
);
I need the meta_value in the following to work with any of the selected options.
But it is a foreach
<?php $select_main_sector_array = get_field( 'select_main_sector' ); ?>
<?php if ( $select_main_sector_array ): ?>
<?php foreach ( $select_main_sector_array as $select_main_sector_item ): ?>
<?php echo $select_main_sector_item; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
$select_categories_to_show_ids = get_field('select_categories_to_show');
$number_to_shows = get_field( 'number_to_show' );
$main_sector = get_field( 'select_main_sector' );
$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => $number_to_shows,
'posttype' => 'projects',
'orderby'=>'date',
'order'=>'DESC',
'tax_query' => array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'service_sectors',
'terms' => $select_categories_to_show_ids,
),
),
);
$meta_query = array(
'relation' => 'OR'
);
foreach ($main_sector as $value) {
$meta_query[] = array(
'key' => 'select_main_sector',
'value' => '"''.$value."',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
}
}
$args['meta_query'] = $meta_query;
Thanks John,
Unfortunately this throws up the following error.
syntax error, unexpected 'foreach' (T_FOREACH)
I tried adding a ); to the line above the foreach but then the value errored
syntax error, unexpected ''.$value.'' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ')'
There is a semi-colon missing in the line abve the line with the error
Hi John,
Thank you I added a semicolon to this but it then threw up this error.
syntax error, unexpected ''.$value.'' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ')'
Code I do here is can contain some syntax errors since I don’t have a IDE telling me my mistakes. In this case there is a missing ‘ in this line value' => '"''.$value."', it should be value' => '"''.$value.'"',
Hi John
Thank you so much for helping on this.
Unfortunately I’m still having issues with this.
I added the extra ‘ but still getting a blank page with.
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ' ' (T_STRING), expecting ')'
