Problem: I would like to display an edit post Form in a custom Page, not a Content Template. I would like to create a custom Edit Post link to this Page so that the correct post is edited in the edit post Form.
Solution: It is possible with some limitations. You can create your own edit post page and style it however you want with headers and footers. Next, create a View of this specific post type. Add a post ID filter, set by a URL parameter.
Now place your edit post Form in the loop of the View, and place the View in your edit post page. Now you can create a custom edit post link in a View of posts using the post ID and post title shortcodes, like this:
A few limitations here:
- The View must not have filters or pagination
- The View must not use AJAX
- The Form must not use AJAX
- The built-in "edit post link" cannot be used here, only a custom link like the one shown above.
Problem: I would like to create a front-end filter where the User can enter a number. Then I would like to filter the results such that one custom field is the minimum value and another custom field is the maximum value, and the User-entered number exists between that range.
Solution: There's nothing exactly like this in Views, so it will require a custom numeric input field and custom code using the Views API wpv_filter_query. An example is shown below:
add_filter('wpv_filter_query', 'between_custom_field_values', 99, 3);
function between_custom_field_values($query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
$view_ids = array( 123, 456 ); // change this to a comma-separated list of the View ids you want to filter
if( in_array( $view_id, $view_ids)) {
$range_number = isset($_GET['range_number']) ? $_GET['range_number'] : null;
if ($range_number !== null) {
$query_args['meta_query'][] = array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'wpcf-maxslug',
'value' => $range_number,
'compare' => '>=',
'type' => 'NUMERIC'
),
array(
'key' => 'wpcf-minslug',
'value' => $range_number,
'compare' => '<=',
'type' => 'NUMERIC'
)
);
}
}
return $query_args;
}
