take a look:
hidden link
after submitting the search, i get this url:
hidden link
notice each search parameter has "%5B%5D" after it (for example: sort-value-heb%5B%5D). and i get all results instead of filtered results
any idea?
thanks!

Any field that allows multiple selections will be represented as an array in the search URL parameters, this is the expected behavior. %5B%5D is a URL-encoded array notation equivalent to array brackets []. If multiple generes options are selected in the search panel, the URL parameters should look like this:
...&generes%5B%5D=drama&generes%5B%5D=periodic-drama...
So this means both "drama" and "periodic-drama" were selected in the search filters. If the filtered results are not what you expect, please take a screenshot showing all the Query Filters in the View editor screen. Include that image with your next reply and we can review those filter configurations.
hey, thanks for the explanation ?
and no, the search result ignores the url parameters and simply shows all search results instead of the filtered ones. but only in the first filter, which is "playwright".
in this page -
hidden link
the first dropdown is for choosing a playwright. whatever name you choose, the form reloads with the playwright unchosen, despite the name appearing in the url parameter.
the filters are too many to show in print screen...
here's the link:
hidden link
thanks!
I'm confused, can you tell me more about this /plays page? Is the /plays URL supposed to be a custom Page with a custom search View, or is /plays supposed to be the Search archive? If it's a custom Page with a View, then the results of the View ID 817 are not displayed anywhere. The PHP template file does not include the results of the View: hidden link
It seems to have a standard loop. A View's filters will not affect the standard loop of posts, they will only affect a View's results.
If you want to output the View using PHP, you should use the render_view API: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views-api/#render_view
If /plays is supposed to be the search Archive, then you should create a Toolset WordPress Archive with search filters, and assign that WP Archive to the Search archive. Then use the Loop Output of that WP Archive to display the filtered results.
now i'm confused 🙂
this /plays page is a custom search page. the right side is the search filter, the left side is the results. i've done this a million times. just a simple search view for cpt "plays".
this is the results loop:

could you please try again?

the left side is the results
Please show me where to find the exact code (PHP or shortcode) that is used to place the results of this View on the page. I found no render_view function to produce the results, and there is no wpv-view shortcode in the Page or template. So I must be missing something. Furthermore, this is an invalid Loop Output structure:
<style>
.languages_available {color: #000000 !important}

A valid loop contains all these tags and comments:
[wpv-layout-start]
[wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<wpv-loop>
</wpv-loop>
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]
You can see that everything but wpv-loop is missing in your Loop Output structure.
hey,

i've added the tags to the loop:

still same error...
thanks!
Okay thank you, I see the view shortcode now. The filter in this View is configured to test a custom field "sort value heb":
[wpv-control field="sort-value-heb" url_param="sort-value-heb" type="select" auto_fill_default="בחר מחזאי" auto_fill="wpcf-sort-value-heb" auto_fill_sort="asc"]
That custom field is not applied to Plays. It is applied to Playwrights:
hidden link
This is why the filter does not appear to do anything - you can't filter Plays by a field assigned to another post type. Either you should apply this field group to Plays and assign a value in each Play, or you can remove this custom field filter and add a post relationship filter instead.
but playwrights ARE conneted to plays!
take a look at the screenshot, from a playwright. there's a play connected to him.
we have this code in functions.php:
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'theme_register_endpoints');
function theme_register_endpoints($query) {
global $wpdb;
//if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']=="79.176.10.164") {
if(isset($_GET["sort-value-heb"]) || isset($_GET["sort-value-eng"])) {
if(isset($_GET["sort-value-heb"]) && $_GET["sort-value-heb"][0]!='') {
$sort_key = 'wpcf-sort-value-heb';
$sort_val = $_GET["sort-value-heb"][0];
} elseif(isset($_GET['sort-value-eng']) && $_GET["sort-value-eng"][0]!='') {
$sort_key = 'wpcf-sort-value-eng';
$sort_val = $_GET["sort-value-eng"][0];
}
$q = '
SELECT element_id
FROM wp_icl_translations
WHERE element_id
IN (
SELECT ID
FROM wp_posts
WHERE ID
IN (
SELECT post_id
FROM `wp_postmeta`
WHERE meta_key = "'.$sort_key.'"
AND meta_value = "'.$sort_val.'"
)
AND post_type = "playwright"
AND post_status = "publish"
)
AND element_type = "post_playwright"
AND language_code = "'.ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE.'"';
$pwid = $wpdb->get_var($q);
//var_dump( $_GET["sort-value-heb"][0]);
//var_dump($q);
$_GET["sort-value-heb"]="";
$_GET["sort-value-eng"]="";
$_GET["wpv-pr-child-of"]=$pwid;
//echo $pwid;
}
//}
}
i think this was done (by another programmer) to allow ppl to edit plays (via cred) in both languages
take a look at the screenshot, from a playwright. there's a play connected to him.
I understand that, but it does not change how custom search Views work. You cannot filter a View of post type A by a field in post type B, even if the posts are in a post relationship. Those filters must be removed from the Query Filter and the Filter Editor, because they will not work correctly. I can help you troubleshoot any Views API that is not producing the expected results, but this code doesn't use any Views APIs. It's purely custom query manipulation.
Hey Chris,
Ok - got it. The code was done by another programmer, the purpose was to automatically apply the custom field for english play name to the wpml translated field of the hebrew play name.
i just had to adjust the relationship filter to "playwright" and it seems to work.
Thanks!
