Problem: I would like to create a complex and/or condition in my View filters, but I can only select one AND/OR clause.
Solution: While it's not possible in wp-admin, you would be able to achieve this type of filter using the wpv_filter_query API:
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'fix_custom_and_or_query' , 99, 3);
function fix_custom_and_or_query( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
$metaQuery = [];
if( $view_id == 1234 ) { // change this to the correct View ID
// uncomment to inspect the selected filters in $_POST or $_GET
// error_log(print_r($_GET, true));
// error_log(print_r($_POST, true));
$someVar = $_GET['wpv-wpcf-some-slug'];
if($someVar == 'abc') {
// ** - sample conditional here based on the user-selected filters
}
// ** - code to create the correct meta query in $metaQuery goes here
// then replace the original meta query with the updated meta query
$query_args['meta_query'] = $metaQuery;
}
return $query_args;
}
Problem:
Can we create a sidebar affix with scrolling menu and collapsing items all with Toolset?
Solution:
Not easily out of the box, it requires some nested Views Structures.
To make it simpler to understand we created this simple example that you can deploy locally and see how things are done:
Use the below package: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-e4FFHtzndlY3NBN19pTzFjelk/view?usp=sharing
– Install the Modules with module manager
– Apply the Layout to a page or the content template included in the package
– Construct Pages with Parent-Child Relation (NOT Types, but WordPress hierarchy)
– Each Parent page will be a Sidebar ScrollSpy Affix main item, each sub-page a sub-item
– It requires you to produce clean and raw Views Loop outputs:
(this involves custom code to alter the Views output to be "raw")
– Some basic default CSS is included in the Module
– Of course, it requires Bootstrap 3.0+
It includes modules that you can apply on a dev site.
It is built with some older Toolset, it might be that some errors happen at first, asking you to probably use older Toolset.
You could still update it later, re-export and re-use it.
It is a great help to achieve complex nested Views structures.
This package is not included in our support range, but is an example of what can be achieved with complex structures and some custom code.
We document known issues and their solutions in Toolset errata. Save time by checking there first and seeing if what you are facing is a known issue. This list is kept short. We do our best to resolve all known issues with every release of Toolset plugins.
