[Resuelto] Force a specific search result via URL parameters

I am trying to force a specific search result by using a specific URL which is generated programmatically, it seems to be working to a fashion, however the results are not showing on the resulting page, even though the URL seems to be triggering the correct result (based on the chosen item in the Select menu).

This is the URL with paramaters I am using – hidden link

I expected to see: What you get when you select 'Melrose' from the Select menu on this page –
hidden link

Instead, I got: I see a flash of the correct results, but they are then hidden again, so cannot see them on the front end, although they are there in the code.

Hope that makes sense.

Kind regards,
Craig

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Could you please share full page screenshot of your edit view? I would like to review your view's settings first.

Hi Minesh,

as requested, here is the View screengrab. Please let me know if you require further info.

Kind regards,
Craig

I think I have a way to fix it but I need to check on your install first.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

I've added following code to your view's Filter sections JS box:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $.urlParam = function(name){
    var results = new RegExp('[\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
    if (results==null){
       return null;
    }
    else{
       return decodeURI(results[1]) || 0;
    }
}
 param =  $.urlParam('wpv-town-or-village'); 
  $('.js-wpv-filter-trigger').val(param).trigger('change');
});

I can see that now it's displaying the correct results.

Hi Minesh,

That is awesome, thank you very much.

Note to self: I really must learn jQuery!

Awesome support, thank you ????

Hi Minesh,

Sorry, there is still a slight problem with the hidden link page.

If you go to that page directly, it shows all of the Housing Officers by default, whereas it should show none until a choice is made from the select menu (which is how it worked before).

Kind regards,
Craig

Ok - I modified the code a bit as given under and now I can see its not displaying the results.

param =  $.urlParam('wpv-town-or-village'); 
  if(!!param){
  		$('.js-wpv-filter-trigger').val(param).trigger('change');
  }
