This is probably super simple but I just cant seem to figure it out.
How can I pass the current Wordpress page title into this code?
Below is a snippet from Formidable Forms WP plug-in which basically prints statistics from forms within my website.
In this case, the # of entries for a specific form (55jqi) and a specific field(50) are displayed on the pages, showing how many other people also submitted that form.
Im trying to skip needing to update each page (4,380 pages) with the stats output snippet.. and instead call the current page into the stats display code, to show stats for that particular page being viewed.. using an elementor custom post type template.
I need this:
echo FrmProStatisticsController::stats_shortcode(array('id' => '55jqi', 'type' => 'count', 50 => 'runtz'));
To work like this:
echo FrmProStatisticsController::stats_shortcode(array('id' => '55jqi', 'type' => 'count', 50 => 'single_post_title();'));
Replace the input area ‘Runts’ with the current page title, using
single_post_title()
Or similar.
Any help would be amazing!!
There is also a short code available which works the similarly.
[frm-stats id=55jqi type=count 50="Runtz"]
Formidable Forms Plugin shortcode and php page for reference: https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/add-field-totals-and-statistics/#kb-field-filters
You are using single_post_title function in a wrong way. By default, this function will echo the output but in the shortcode, you need to return the output.
This function accepts 2 param: 1: $prefix 2: $display
You need to pass $display as false, which will tell the function to return the value.
so you'll have to make a call like this `single_post_title( '', false )``
and your shortcode call will be like this:
echo FrmProStatisticsController::stats_shortcode(
array(
'id' => '55jqi',
'type' => 'count',
'50' => single_post_title( '', false ),
)
);

I need to update values in all posts of a wordpress installation on a regular base. I was gooing to use shortcodes to insert the request into the wordpress post. Then use a custom functions.php that holds all the variables that need to be updated from time to time.
I got it working. Somehow but not the way I intended to use it. I'm a total beginner. Please consider this when answering my questions.
I want to have a function that reads what comes after honda_ and displays the correct value in wordpress without having to create a separate shortcode for each variable.
When entering [honda_link] wordpress should display the value from honda_link. When entering [honda_longlink] the value from honda_longlink variable should get displayed. I don't want to create a shortcode for each value.
I came up with this as a working solution...
// Honda
function honda() {
$honda_link = 'www.honda.com';
$honda_longlink = 'http://www.honda.com';
$honda_free = 'Free';
$honda_new = '23.688 $';
$honda_mileage = '00';
return $honda_link;
}
add_shortcode('neu', 'honda_link');
I tried some approaches by using an array but it ultimately failed all the time. I also tried it with if statements but wasn't able to get the right value displayed.
Someone willing to help a noob? I think I need to see a working example in order to understand it. The code snippets I have been looking at (that do something similiar but not the same I want to achieve) did confuse me more than they helped me.
I came up with this / Which works in a way but... This isn't very comfortable to use.
add_shortcode('HONDA','HONDA_TEST');
function HONDA_TEST($atts = array(), $content = null, $tag){
shortcode_atts(array(
'var1' => 'default var1',
'var2' => false,
'var3' => false,
'var4' => false
), $atts);
if ($atts['var2'])
return 'honda2';
else if ($atts['var3'])
return 'honda3';
else if ($atts['var4'])
return 'honda4';
else
return 'honda1';
}
So now when using:
[HONDA var1="novalue"][/HONDA]
[HONDA var2="novalue"][/HONDA]
[HONDA var3="novalue"][/HONDA]
[HONDA var4="novalue"][/HONDA]
it shows:
honda1
honda2
honda3
honda4
and so on.
Is there a better way to achieve the intended goal from post #1 ? Any way I could import the $variables from 1st post in bulk for example?
I don't have a working WP setup right now to test, but could you try this:
add_shortcode('HONDA','HONDA_TEST');
function HONDA_TEST($atts = array(), $content = null, $tag){
$atts = shortcode_atts(array(
'model' => 1,
), $atts);
$myHondas = [1 => 'honda1', 'honda2', 'honda3'];
return isset($myHondas[$atts['model']]) ? $myHondas[$atts['model']] : 'unknown model id';
}
And use it with [HONDA model="1"], [HONDA model="2"]
i've been using Yii framework for some time now, and i've been really having a good time especially with these widgets that makes the development easier. I'm using Yii bootsrap for my extensions..but i'm having a little trouble understanding how each widget works.
My question is how do i display the widget say a TbDetailView inside a tab?
i basically want to display contents in tab forms..however some of them are in table forms...some are in lists, detailviews etc.
I have this widget :
$this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.TbDetailView',array(
'data'=>$model,
'attributes'=>$attributes1,
));
that i want to put inside a tab
$this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.TbWizard', array(
'tabs' => $tabs,
'type' => 'tabs', // 'tabs' or 'pills'
'options' => array(
'onTabShow' => 'js:function(tab, navigation, index) {
var $total = navigation.find("li").length;
var $current = index+1;
var $percent = ($current/$total) * 100;
$("#wizard-bar > .bar").css({width:$percent+"%"});
}',
),
and my $tabs array is declared like this :
$tabs = array('studydetails' =>
array(
'id'=>'f1study-create-studydetails',
'label' => 'Study Details',
'content' =>//what do i put here?),
...
...);
when i store the widget inside a variable like a $table = $this->widget('boots....);
and use the $table variable for the 'content' parameter i get an error message like:
Object of class TbDetailView could not be converted to string
I don't quite seem to understand how this works...i need help..Thanks :)
You can use a renderPartial() directly in your content, like this:
'content'=>$this->renderPartial('_tabpage1', [] ,true),
Now yii will try to render a file called '_tabpage1.php' which should be in the same folder as the view rendering the wizard. You must return what renderPartial generates instead of rendering it directly, thus set the 3rd parameter to true.
The third parameter that the widget() function takes is used to capture output into a variable like you are trying to do.
from the docs:
public mixed widget(string $className, array $properties=array ( ), boolean $captureOutput=false)
$this->widget('class', array(options), true)
Right now you are capturing the object itself in the variable trying to echo out an object. Echo only works for things that can be cast to a string.
I am trying to build in a "search" box on a results page in my cakephp app. The page uses the cakePHP pagination component to show and "page" results. This is perfect, but I am having difficulties to get the next part to work.
The desired outcome:
A cakephp form (post) with an input box and a couple of select boxes, including a date selector so that I can select between dates. The user should be able to populate these fields and submit
On submit, the user selection should change the cakePHP pagination conditions in the controller
In the view I want the pagination bar to keep record of the user selection, so that when I filter through different pages, it keeps the users search. I understand this can be achieved using $this->passedArgs, hence why I am using post and not get.
The code:
// Form:
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('search', array('class' => false));
echo $this->Form->input('searchFor');
echo $this->Form->input('dateFrom');
echo $this->Form->input('dateTo');
echo $this->Form->end();
?>
// Controller:
if($this->request->is("post")) {
$filters = $this->request->data["search"];
$this->passedArgs["searchFor"] = $filters["searchFor"];
$this->passedArgs["dateFrom"] = $filters["dateFrom"]." 00:00:00";
$this->passedArgs["dateTo"] = $filters["dateTo"]." 00:00:00";
// Assign search parameters:
if($this->passedArgs["searchFor"] != "") {
$conditions["Model.field LIKE"] = "%".$this->passedArgs["searchFor"]."%";
}
$conditions["Model.created >="] = $this->passedArgs["dateFrom"];
$conditions["Model.created <="] = $this->passedArgs["dateTo"];
} else {
$conditions = array("Result.status_id >=" => 12);
}
$this->paginate = array(
'conditions' => $conditions,
'order' => array('Result.created ASC'),
'limit' => 20
);
$this->set("results",$this->paginate("Model");
// The view file:
<?php
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
?>
Where I am now:
The initial page loads with all of the results
When I populate the search boxes it does return my results
The problem:
I am convinced the way I am doing it is incorrect as I now need to do 2 checks, a) being if results has been posted and b) check if there is passedArgs available. I am 100% convinced this is not the right way of doing it.
Let's say I have 2 free form fields for search, say name and surname, if I leave surname blank my url would be written as below, and this does not look or appear to be correct. That means I have to assign default values to ensure the items below does not happen, which does not appear to be very dynamic.
http://localhost/site/controller/action/surname:0/name:John/date:0/
On refresh it says the page does not exist because the posted values is not available anylonger.
usually I proceed like this in the controller:
//transform POST into GET
if($this->request->is("post")) {
$url = array('action'=>'index');
$filters = array();
if(isset($this->data['searchFor']) && $this->data['searchFor']){
//maybe clean up user input here??? or urlencode??
$filters['searchFor'] = $this->data['searchFor'];
}
//redirect user to the index page including the selected filters
$this->redirect(array_merge($url,$filters));
}
$conditions = array();
//check filters on passedArgs
if(isset($this->passedArgs["searchFor"])){
$conditions["Model.field LIKE"] = "%".$this->passedArgs["searchFor"]."%";
}
//paginate as normal
$this->paginate = array(
'conditions' => $conditions,
'order' => array('Result.created ASC'),
'limit' => 20
);
The idea is to transform the POST sent by your form into GET. so you wont have problems with the paginator nor the refresh
Hope this helps
What you want can be done a lot more simple and DRY by using this search plugin.
It automates what you want more or less plus it already can do more than your code.
So I suggest you to use the plugin directly or take a look at it how it does the trick. :)
I'm building a site with Drupal and I have a small problem. I'm rendering a form using hook_menu. The form renders fine and all is good. I am then adding some more markup to the page using hook_page_alter(). Hook_page_alter looks like this:
function renderer_page_alter(&$page) {
if(drupal_is_front_page()) {
$q = db_query('SELECT name, mname, number_of_instances FROM {event_type} ORDER BY number_of_instances DESC');
foreach($q as $event) {
$options['name'][] = $event->name;
$options['mname'][] = $event->mname;
}
$tri = array(
'#theme' => 'frontpage_canvas',
'#options' => $options
);
return $page['content']['triangles'] = $tri;
}
}
So in my local MAMP install, the content is displayed with the results from hook_page_alter() first then followed by the form. However, in the remote install, the order is reversed (with the submit button for the form at the top of the page and the rest of the content beneath it). The only difference between the installs (that I can think of) is that the remote install is Drupal 7.8 and the local one is Drupal 7.9.
I would like to have the remote install in the same way as the local one. Has anyone come across an issue like this before?
The basic structure of the rendered HTML is like this:
<div class=content>
//all the form information is in here
</div>
<div class=rendered>
//all the output from hook_page_alter() is here
</div>
EDIT: The issue is that for some reason, block.tpl.php is adding two divs:
<div id="block-system-main" class="block block-system first last odd">
<div class="content">
//My form markup is in here
</div>
</div>
//The hook_page_alter markup is in here.
So, is there any way to force Drupal to add the hook_page_alter markup to the same div as the form is being rendered in? Because the way it's being rendered at the moment, the #weight property doesn't affect the positioning.
Thanks,
The display order in render arrays is set using the #weight attribute, elements with a higher #weight will be rendered after those with a lower value.
If you want to force the content added in hook_page_alter() to be rendered at the top of the content area declare it like this:
$tri = array(
'#theme' => 'frontpage_canvas',
'#options' => $options,
'#weight' => -1000
);
or at the bottom of the content area:
$tri = array(
'#theme' => 'frontpage_canvas',
'#options' => $options,
'#weight' => 1000
);
You can also adjust the #weight for other elements that already exist in the $page array passed in to the function, so you have total control over the display order.
I am modifying an already contributed drupal module (Inline Ajax Search) to handle searching of a specific content type with some search filters (i.e. when searching for help documentation, you filter out your search results by selecting for which product and version of the product you want help with).
I have modified the module some what to handle all the search filters.
I also added in similar functionality from the standard core search module to handle the presenting of the search form and search results on the actual search page ( not the block form ).
The problem is that when i submit the form, i discovered that I'd lose all my post data on that submit because somewhere, and i don't know where, drupal is either redirecting me or something else is happening that is causing me to lose everything in the $_POST array.
here's the hook_menu() implementation:
<?php
function inline_ajax_search_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['search/inline_ajax_search'] = array(
'title' => t('Learning Center Search'),
'description' => t(''),
'page callback' => 'inline_ajax_search_view',
'access arguments' => array('search with inline_ajax_search'),
'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
'file' => 'inline_ajax_search.pages.inc',
);
}
?>
the page callback is defined as such (very similar to the core search module's search_view function):
<?php
function inline_ajax_search_view() {
drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'inline_ajax_search') . '/css/inline_ajax_search.css', 'module', 'all', FALSE );
if (isset($_POST['form_id'])) {
$keys = $_POST['keys'];
// Only perform search if there is non-whitespace search term:
$results = '';
if(trim($keys)) {
require_once( drupal_get_path( 'module', 'inline_ajax_search' ) . '/includes/inline_ajax_search.inc' );
// Collect the search results:
$results = _inline_ajax_search($keys, inline_ajax_search_get_filters(), "page" );
if ($results) {
$results = theme('box', t('Search results'), $results);
}
else {
$results = theme('box', t('Your search yielded no results'), inline_ajax_search_help('inline_ajax_search#noresults', drupal_help_arg()));
}
}
// Construct the search form.
$output = drupal_get_form('inline_ajax_search_search_form', inline_ajax_search_build_filters( variable_get( 'inline_ajax_search_filters', array() ) ) );
$output .= $results;
return $output;
}
return drupal_get_form('inline_ajax_search_search_form', inline_ajax_search_build_filters( variable_get( 'inline_ajax_search_filters', array() ) ) );
}
?>
from my understanding, things should work like this: A user goes to www.mysite.com/search/inline_ajax_search and drupal will process the path given in my url and provide me with a page that holds the themed form for my search module. When i submit the form, whose action is the same url (www.mysite.com/search/inline_ajax_search), then we go thru the same function calls, but we now have data in the $_POST array and one of them is indeed $_POST['form_id'] which is the name of the form "inline_ajax_search_search_form". so we should be able to enter into that if block and put out the search results.
but that's not what happens...somewhere from when i submit the form and get my results and theme it all up, i get redirected some how and lose all my post data.
if anybody can help me, it'd make me so happy lol.
drupal_get_form actually wipes out the $_POST array and so that's why I lose all my post data.
according to this: http://drupal.org/node/748830 $_POST should really be ignored when doing things in drupal. It's better to find a way around using it. One way is the way described in the link, making ur form data persist using the $_SESSION array. I'm sure there are various other and better ways to do this, but yeah, drupal_get_form was the culprit here...
