You guys previously got me a custom code snippet to hide the view results from display until a filter is chosen. That code snippet is here:

<?php
/**
 * Snippet to force end user to select a filter option before results will appear on Ride Maps page.
 */

toolset_snippet_security_check() or die( 'Direct access is not allowed' );

// Put the code of your snippet below this comment.

add_filter('wpv_filter_query', 'wpv_no_results_by_default', 99, 3);
function wpv_no_results_by_default( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
     
    if($view_id == 2059 ){
         if( !isset($_GET['wpv_view_count']))  {
            $query_args['post__in'] = array(0);
        }
                     
     }
    return $query_args;
}

My question now is I want to apply this same functionality to another view. The ID for that view is 8012. I just wanted to see if I only have to add this ID to the line saying:

if($view_id == 2059 ){

If so, is the correct syntax for this as follows:

if($view_id == 2059, 8012 ){

Or do I need to do something else?

Hi there

This is how you can adapt your code so that it applies to multiple Views (you can keep adding View IDs to the list):

add_filter('wpv_filter_query', 'wpv_no_results_by_default', 99, 3);
function wpv_no_results_by_default( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
      
    if( in_array( $view_id, array( 2059, 8012 ) ) ){
         if( !isset($_GET['wpv_view_count']))  {
            $query_args['post__in'] = array(0);
        }
                      
     }
    return $query_args;
}

If the code solution is working well for you by all means continue with it, but you might like to know that you can also achieve the same without code: https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-custom-search/#hide-the-search-results-until-the-first-search

The array code worked perfectly. I just stuck with that. I didn't realize there was an easier way. Thanks for both solutions though.
