[Resolved] Display only the latest post with duplicated taxonomy

Sorry about that Minesh!

Price 1665: the date has been changed to 1/3, so it should be displayed instead of the Price 1673 that was dated 27/2. Note that 1665 is actually created before 1673, but i edited the date to a later date.

On the "apply the checking on normal price type", its related to this code. I have a post field price-type that records "normal" or "offer". So i only want the algorithm to work on price-type = "normal", such that if it is an offer price, it will display all; if it is "normal" price, it will display only the latest price for each store (already what the code achieves now).

Thanks!

I've adjusted the code as given under:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'prefix_show_only_current_author',99,3 );
function prefix_show_only_current_author( $query,$view_settings, $view_id) {
   
   if ( $view_id == 1534 ) { // if
		//echo "<pre>";
		//print_r($query);
		
		$x = $query['post__in'];
		$unique = array();
		$tmp_p = '';
		$tmp_array = array();
		$post_ids = array();
		
		foreach($x as $k=>$v):
		$tax = do_shortcode('[wpv-post-taxonomy type="store" format="name" id="'.$v.'"]');
		$p = do_shortcode('[types field="price-date" output="raw" id="'.$v.'"][/types]');
		$price_type = do_shortcode('[types field="price-type" output="raw" id="'.$v.'"][/types]');
		
		if($price_type=='normal'){
		//echo "<br/>tmp==".$tmp_p;
		
			if(!array_key_exists($tax,$tmp_array)){
				$unique[$tax]['post_id'] = $v;
				$unique[$tax]['tax'] = $tax;
				$unique[$tax]['price'] = $p;
				$tmp_array[$tax] = $tax;
			}else{
				
				if($p > $unique[$tax]['price']){
					$unique[$tax]['post_id'] = $v;
					$unique[$tax]['price'] = $p;
				} 
			}
		}
		endforeach;
		
		foreach($unique as $k=>$v):
			$post_ids[] = $v['post_id'];
		endforeach;
		
		
		$query['post__in'] = $post_ids;
		
		
   }
	
    return $query;
}

Is this expected output now? 🙂

Is the solution I shared with you help you to resolve your issue? - Could you please confirm.

Thanks Minesh, the logic for "normal" price works fine now even if i edited the date.

But the "not normal" price type is not appearing at all. I think we are missing an "if price type <> normal"?

Thanks a lot.

Do you mean that if price type is not normal you still want to display such post without applying the logic we set to compare the date?

[kaneB]

That's correct Minesh, it should display as is.

Could you please check now. I've adjusted the code as given under:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'prefix_show_only_current_author',99,3 );
function prefix_show_only_current_author( $query,$view_settings, $view_id) {
   
   if ( $view_id == 1534 ) { // if
		//echo "<pre>";
		//print_r($query);
		
		$x = $query['post__in'];
		$unique = $tmp_array =  $post_ids = array();
		$not_normal_ids = array();
		
		foreach($x as $k=>$v):
		$tax = do_shortcode('[wpv-post-taxonomy type="store" format="name" id="'.$v.'"]');
		$p = do_shortcode('[types field="price-date" output="raw" id="'.$v.'"][/types]');
		$price_type = do_shortcode('[types field="price-type" output="raw" id="'.$v.'"][/types]');
		
		if($price_type=='normal'){
		
			if(!array_key_exists($tax,$tmp_array)){
				$unique[$tax]['post_id'] = $v;
				$unique[$tax]['tax'] = $tax;
				$unique[$tax]['price'] = $p;
				$tmp_array[$tax] = $tax;
			}else{
				
				if($p > $unique[$tax]['price']){
					$unique[$tax]['post_id'] = $v;
					$unique[$tax]['price'] = $p;
				} 
			}
		}else{
			$not_normal_ids[] = $v;
		}
		endforeach;
		
			
		foreach($unique as $k=>$v):
			$post_ids[] = $v['post_id'];
		endforeach;
		
		
		$query['post__in'] = array_merge($post_ids,$not_normal_ids);
		
		
   }
	
    return $query;
}

And it's displaying all posts now:

Hi Minesh, i think this is working perfect now. I will replicate and further test on this.

Great thanks for your patience and help!
