Hi There,

I've been following this thread ......

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/filter-view-by-date-greater-than-today-or-blank-but-already-using-and/

I need help with a couple of things before being able to implement it.

1. How do I define the ID's of the first two views
2. How do I display the 3rd view, is it a short code and if so how would be best to implement it?

Many thanks in advance

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I wonder if you are trying to build the same feature on that ticket or if you are just looking to combine AND and OR in a view filter? Please elaborate more on your use case, so I can give accurate advice.

In the meantime, I'll try to answer your questions:
1. How do I define the ID's of the first two views
You can use the get_view_query_results function to get the array of posts that the view will return. Then you can loop through them to get the IDs.

2. How do I display the 3rd view, is it a short code and if so how would be best to implement it?
You can display the view, either using a shortcode, or using the Toolset View block if you are in the blocks editor. The shortcode to display a view is wpv-view.

Regarding the combination of AND and OR, you can also, hook into the view's query filter(wpv_filter_query) and modify it the way it suits you. Check the following links:

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
