Hello,

I have a big problem with a view.

On my view hidden link
I try to query the "Affichages prévisions" by taxonomie signe and type horoscope. And i have to use it with api.
The problem is the filters doesn't work.
You can see the result of the print_r here : hidden link

here is my code :
$args = array(
'wpvtypehoroscope' => "week-end",
'signe' => "bélier",
);
$vue_affichage = get_view_query_results(30829, $args);

print_r($vue_affichage);

Maybe i have made an mistake. But i have tried lot of thing.....

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - I need to review on your site how you configured your view and on which PHP template you added the code you shared.

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

Can you please check now.

I see you have passed the argument as given under:

$args = array(
'wpvtypehoroscope' => "week-end",
'signe' => "bélier",
);

Where for the argument signe you need to pass the slug belier instead of bélier.

Do you see its working now?

[Franck]

No it is not working.

And, we can even see it is not working if wee add argument id publication.

I have make lot of tests. ...
Even if i make the view as my first picture it is not working.
Nevertheless if i manage the id publication like my second picture it is working. But the same argument passed in api doesn't work.

Well - I see number of results now with the following page:
=> hidden link

Can you please share your expected output.

[Franck]

The number is expected : 27466

But as we can see, there is first problem, the view show posts with taxonomie signe are not belier.

Ex : hidden link

AND
Thera others problems, i ask post before today, and the view give posts after.

What is strange is hidden link
On this page i call the similar view but without api, and it is working.
It is this view : hidden link

Well - I tested with clean install and I've setup a custom post type with two taxonomies.

Then I've created the following shortcode and added it to current theme's functions.php file on my test install:

function func_call_view_api() {
	
	$args = array(
              'wpvemployeedepartment' => "dept-account",
              'wpvstudenttype' => "week-end",
			 
              );

$results = get_view_query_results(222,null,null,$args);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($results );
exit;


}
add_shortcode( 'get_api_view_res', 'func_call_view_api' );

And created a new page and added the above shortcode and I see that it works just fine.

Can you please check with minimum install on another install.

[Franck]

I am bit surprised with your answer. Of course if we change all, it could be work, i have also told you that the view work on the page when i used it without api.

My plugin is clean and easy. I call a view and the view give a bad answer 🙁

What is minimum install ? as you can see i almost use Toolset without other plugin....
But beacause i have to fix this problem, and even i have big trafic right now, i have turn off all plugins and turn on TwentyNineteen Theme and the problem stay the same.

I think i i put my fonction in a shortcode it would work , but i can use shortcode because i need a empty page juste with json code.

So, what i have to do ?

thanks a lot.

[Franck]

Maybe the problem is we have to make some includes before code to use the api.
So with with shortcode it works because all includes are done.

[Franck]

Sorry, i forgotten the video : hidden link

[Franck]

Hi,

As i expected, with a shortcode it works perfectly.
hidden link

My problem is i need an empty page with just json result, i understand for to that i can not use shortcode, i have to use plugin and call the view by the same way i have shown you.

I really think to use the api view toolset with parameters we have to make some WP includes before, but which one.... that is the question.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Well - I think I found the solution for you.

I've created the following view - which is having same settings as per your other view which you are using originally:
=> hidden link

I've changed the hook to wp_loaded instead of init with your plugin file etoiles.php:

add_action('wp_loaded', 'se67905_my_template');

And I've used the following code within the if condition:

$args = array(
	'wpvtypehoroscope' => "week-end",
              'wpvsigneastrologique' => "belier",
			  );
			  
		$res = get_view_query_results(30880,null,null,$args);
				
				echo "<pre>";
				print_r($res);
				exit;

I can see its displaying the expected results:
=> hidden link

Can you please confirm?

[Franck]

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
