I am implementing the filters for the content searched by users inside my ajax form in frontend, I am working with this query that works perfectly
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'pro',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_key' => $_POST['categoryfilter'],
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => $_POST['categoryfilter'],
'value' => 0,
'compare' => '>=',
'type' => 'NUMERIC',
),
array(
'key' => $_POST['categoryfilter'],
'value' => 100,
'compare' => '<=',
'type' => 'NUMERIC',
),
),
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => $_POST['order'],
);
my goal was to split the query based on the $_POST of the filter on the form
and I wanted to get that when the user selected the filter: firts, I split the above query into this one to get this
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => $_POST['categoryfilter'],
'value' => 0,
'compare' => '>=',
'type' => 'NUMERIC',
),
array(
'key' => $_POST['categoryfilter'],
'value' => 100,
'compare' => '<=',
'type' => 'NUMERIC',
),
),
so i tried with this code but it doesn't work:
if( isset($_POST['first'] ))
$args['meta_query'][] =
array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => $_POST['categoryfilter'],
'value' => 0,
'compare' => '>=',
'type' => 'NUMERIC',
),
array(
'key' => $_POST['categoryfilter'],
'value' => 50,
'compare' => '<=',
'type' => 'NUMERIC',
),
);
Where am I doing wrong?
same thing for sorting I would like when the user enters: order, be able to filter by ASC or DESC as in the first query
I think it's just an issue with how you create the meta_query. You are storing it in a sub-array, but it should not. Try to update like this:
if( isset($_POST['first'] ))
$args['meta_query'] =
array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => $_POST['categoryfilter'],
'value' => 0,
'compare' => '>=',
'type' => 'NUMERIC',
),
array(
'key' => $_POST['categoryfilter'],
'value' => 50,
'compare' => '<=',
'type' => 'NUMERIC',
),
);
When doing $args['meta_query'][] = you should push every array of the meta_query one by one, but here you already have the full meta_query.
This assuming you don't have more code that could push more meta_queries rules. If so, then you should push each part at a time.
We have set up custom post types for real estate properties and a search form to search through these custom post types using price, city, newest, etc. We are using query variable strings/if statements to display the results, but we are having trouble with the sort options. We have three sort options in place : Newest, Price Low-High, and Price High-Low.
When the default results are displayed, the sort does not work correctly, but when a city is set in the search dropdown, the sort works perfectly.
For the city search, we have this code in place:
if (isset($_POST['city'])) {
$qs_city = get_query_var('city');
}
else {
$qs_city = " ";
I believe that this is due to the else portion of the code above. We need some sort of wildcard that allows all cities listed to be listed if a city is not set. We have tried several different things, but nothing seems to work. I'm fairly new to this, so I can better clarify any of the above, if necessary.
This is the code used to sort:
if (isset($_POST['sort'])) {
$qs_sort = get_query_var('sort');
switch ($qs_sort) {
case 'newest':
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'residential',
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'paged' => $paged,
'orderby' => 'L_StatusDate',
'order' => 'DESC',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'L_City',
'value' => $qs_city,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'L_SystemPrice',
'value' => array( $qs_price_min, $qs_price_max ),
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => 'BETWEEN'
),
array(
'key' => 'LM_Int1_2',
'value' => $qs_beds,
'compare' => '>='
),
array(
'key' => 'LM_Int1_3',
'value' => $qs_baths,
'compare' => '>='
)
)
);
break;
case 'price-low':
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'residential',
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'paged' => $paged,
'orderby' => 'L_SystemPrice',
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'L_City',
'value' => $qs_city,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'L_SystemPrice',
'value' => array( $qs_price_min, $qs_price_max ),
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => 'BETWEEN'
),
array(
'key' => 'LM_Int1_2',
'value' => $qs_beds,
'compare' => '>='
),
array(
'key' => 'LM_Int1_3',
'value' => $qs_baths,
'compare' => '>='
)
)
);
break;
case 'price-high':
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'residential',
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'paged' => $paged,
'orderby' => 'L_SystemPrice',
'order' => 'DESC',
'meta_query' => array(
//'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'L_City',
'value' => $qs_city,
'compare' => 'LIKE'

array(
'key' => 'L_SystemPrice',
'value' => array( $qs_price_min, $qs_price_max ),

array(

array(

'compare' => '>='
)
)
);
break;
}
}
else {
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'residential',
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'paged' => $paged,
'meta_query' => array(
//'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'L_StatusDate',
'orderby' => 'DESC'
//set default to sort by newest
),
array(
'key' => 'L_City',
'value' => $qs_city,
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'L_SystemPrice',
'value' => array( $qs_price_min, $qs_price_max ),

array(

The main question for your situation is "what kind of application will sort the results?". It looks like you use some kind on database. But which one? If it's SQL-like database, - just replace $qs_city = " " with $qs_city = "%";
I have the below PHP:-
$args = array(
'posts_per_page'=> -1,
'post_type' => 'jobs',
'order' => 'ASC',
's' => $search_field,
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'job_salary_from',
'value' => $job_salary_from,
'compare' => '>=',
),
array(
'key' => 'job_salary_from',
'value' => $job_salary_to,
'compare' => '<=',
),
array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'job_salary_to',
'value' => $job_salary_from,
'compare' => '>=',
),
array(
'key' => 'job_salary_to',
'value' => $job_salary_to,
'compare' => '<=',
),
))
);
Lets say there is a job that is from 19000 to 22000 called 'ABC', so
job_salary_from = 19000
and job_salary_to = 22000.
Now lets say I search a job that is between 10000 and 19000, so $job_salary_from = 10000 and $job_salary_to = 19999.
This shows up when I do a search which is correct. However, if I search for a job that is between 20000 and 29999, so $job_salary_from = 19999 and $job_salary_to = 29999 nothing is showing up.
Where as the job 'ABC' should show up because $job_salary_to is within the search bracket.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I think the meta_query syntax is not quite right. Try this:
$args = array(
'posts_per_page'=> -1,
'post_type' => 'jobs',
'order' => 'ASC',
's' => $search_field,
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'job_salary_to',
'value' => $job_salary_from,
'type' => 'numeric', //for each case
'compare' => '>=',
),
array(
'key' => 'job_salary_to',
'value' => $job_salary_to,
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => '<=',
),
),
array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => 'job_salary_from',
'value' => $job_salary_from,
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => '>=',
),
array(
'key' => 'job_salary_from',
'value' => $job_salary_to,
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => '<=',
),
)
)
);
Also you can try to use BETWEEN, even I am not sure if this is inclusive or exclusive compare.
that is because there is a different function to fetch results in between a range.
Try the following example to fetch results in between a range
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'color',
'value' => 'blue',
'compare' => 'NOT LIKE',
),
array(
'key' => 'price',
'value' => array( 20, 100 ),
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => 'BETWEEN',
),
),
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

I am working on custom search by meta value and using this:
print_r($_REQUEST);
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'property_post',
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'custom_textarea',
'value' => 'me', // if I use static keyword it works
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'custom_price',
'value' => array( $_REQUEST['custom_price'], $_REQUEST['custom_price1'] ),
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => 'BETWEEN'
),
array(
'key' => 'custom_beds',
'value' => $_REQUEST['custom_beds'],
'compare' => '='
),
array(
'key' => 'custom_bath',
'value' => $_REQUEST['custom_bath'],
'compare' => '='
),
array(
'key' => 'custom_garage',
'value' => $_REQUEST['custom_garage'],
'compare' => '='
)
)
);
If I use some static keyword for meta value then it works but with the $_REQUEST it did not.
I checked $_REQUEST by print_r($_REQUEST).
Array ( [custom_textarea] => aa[custom_price] => 1000 [custom_price1] => 4000[custom_beds] => 2[custom_garage] => 1)
So what should i do to make it fine.
Thanks in advance.........
Store the $_REQUEST values to some variables and use it in the query
$a=$_REQUEST['custom_price'];
and
'value' => $a,
I've got some custom fields as meta data for a new post type - Properties (for an estate agents), so want to search by number of bedrooms, min/max value and location. I have a form with multiple drop-downs for each of these fields:
location, min_value, max_value, bedrooms
Also, I have meta boxes on the posts themselves, so one for price, bedrooms, location, and a taxonomy type of property_type - rent, sale, and commerical.
I've found this piece of code online but not sure how to manipulate it so it takes whatever value the form takes?
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'location',
'value' => '[LOCATION HERE]',
'compare' => 'NOT LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'price',
'value' => '[PRICE HERE FROM FORM]',
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => 'BETWEEN'
)
)
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
Also, I understand the search query goes on function.php but do I call it from where the form is, or where the results are outputted? ie. my homepage or my searchpage?
Hope someone can help
use this code
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'Properties',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'location',
'value' => '[LOCATION HERE]',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
array(
'key' => 'min_value',
'value' => '[min value here]',
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => 'BETWEEN'
)
array(
'key' => 'max_value',
'value' => '[max value here]',
'type' => 'numeric',
'compare' => 'BETWEEN'
)
array(
'key' => 'bedrooms',
'value' => '[bedroom here]',
'compare' => 'LIKE'
),
)
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
and You have to call this in your searchpage....
Thanks for help Yogesh, I modified your answer to get this which seems to work:
<?php $args = array(
'post_type' => 'Property',
'property_type'=>$_GET['type'],
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'key' => '_property_info_location',
'value' => Cuztom::uglify($_GET['location']),
),
array(
'key' => '_property_info_bedrooms',
'value' => $_GET['bedrooms'],
),
array(
'key' => '_property_info_price',
'value' => $_GET['max_value'],
'compare' => '<=',
'type' => 'numeric',
),
array(
'key' => '_property_info_price',
'value' => $_GET['min_value'],
'compare' => '>=',
'type' => 'numeric',
),
),
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>
