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);
});
Problem: I have a View that should be ordered by the value of a custom date field, but it does not seem to be ordered correctly.
Solution: Be sure no other query filters are interfering with the sort order settings in Views. Use the Views debug panel if necessary to check the query criteria.
The issue here is that the user wanted to create a custom woocommerce php template for his site.
Solution:
I believe for this to work, you will need to create the template file within your theme directory. Create a woocommerce folder and then add your template files within that folder.
Problem: I would like to replace the standard checkboxes in my View filter with images. In order to do this, I need to apply a class to the checkbox's parent label that determines whether or not to show the checkmark in the checkbox. I am using AJAX to update my View results whenever an input is changed.
Solution:
Use some jQuery to modify the parent element whenever a checkbox is changed. Run the same jQuery when the page loads to ensure the checkboxes are set correctly before anything changes. Use the front-end events feature to listen for search results updates.
