Problem: I would like to display a custom field from a child post in the parent post template, but the Types field shortcode is not working as expected.
Solution: You can't use a Types field shortcode in this case, because there can be many child posts associated with the parent post. You must use a View of related posts, filtered somehow, to display the field from the correct child post.
Problem: I have a custom search View with several search fields placed on a page. Only the search form, not the results, are shown on the page. The View is set up to redirect to a different URL, where the filters and results are both displayed. When Users visit the first page, the URL will have a parameter "promocode" with some variable. When the page redirects to the next step, I want to maintain the original URL parameter on the results page.
Solution: Use the View filter "wpv_filter_end_filter_form" to add a hidden input field to the custom search form, and set the value of the field by accessing the URL parameter in the $_GET superglobal:
Then if your View is set up to "only show available inputs" you'll need to add some custom JavaScript to update the hidden promocode field any time the filters are updated:
jQuery( document ).on( 'js_event_wpv_parametric_search_form_updated', function( event, data ) {
var url = new URL(window.location);
var promocode = url.searchParams.get("promocode");
jQuery('#promocode').val(promocode);
});
