[Gelöst] types_get_field adds extra character for default option

I have a select field (see screenshot 1) with a range of values set.

I also have the following function to create a set of filters of the values from that field for the purposes of filtering posts in a view based on the value of the interval field:

        // Interval Filters - Need to fix
	// =============================================================================
	function interval_shortcode() {
		$current_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
		$noInterval = explode("&", $current_url)[0];
		$interval_dropdown = "<a class='x-btn x-btn-mini' href='{$noInterval}'>SHOW ALL</a> ";
		$field = types_get_field( 'interval');
		foreach ( $field['data']['options'] as $option ) {
		    $title = $option['title'];
		    $value = $option['value'];
		    $interval_dropdown .= "<a class='x-btn x-btn-mini' href='{$current_url}&interval={$value}'>{$title}</a> ";
		}
		return "<span class='interval-dropdown'>" . $interval_dropdown . "</span>";
	}
	add_shortcode('wpv-interval-filter', 'interval_shortcode');

Now take a look at screenshot 2. There's a random W in there. I've managed to work out that it's something to do with the default field. I can change the default value, and the W moves. Question is, how can I stop it showing up??

I also tried changing to the no default option, but then I get an N at the end instead...

Cheers!

There is also an htaccess password on the site. If you go to https://toolset.com/forums/topic/post-relationship-doesnt-save/ you'll find the user/pass to get around that in the secure note for that.

Hi David,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

What you can do is to add an if statement to your code to filter out this default option.

 foreach ( $field['data']['options'] as $option ) {
        $title = $option['title'];
        $value = $option['value'];
        if($title != "W"){
              $interval_dropdown .= "<a class='x-btn x-btn-mini' href='{$current_url}&interval={$value}'>{$title}</a> ";
         }
    }

Try this and let me know if it helps.

Thanks,
Shane

Looked good to me, but doesn't work sorry. To try debug it a little I did the following:

This hides the Weekly label:

 if($title != "Weekly"){

This does nothing:

 if($value!= "W"){

Hi David,

I was under the impression that the title would've been W.

So as you says weekly works fine right ?

Thanks,
Shane

Yeah. As I said, it's something to do with how the default option is stored.

Changing the default option changes the position of the W to after whatever the default option is.

Setting no default puts a N at the start.

Hi David,

For now this workaround will have to work.

However can you confirm that the issue still remains in our latest version ?

Thanks,
Shane

Ahh- I was about to comment and say that your solution didn't work- but noted that the interval is stored lowercase, and your solution has it uppercase. Changing it to

if($value != "w"){

works. Bit of a strange workaround but nothing new.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
